Well, that gives me a baseline of how much copper I would expect to see in that cut. Or if it's, you know, another stone that's been machined using, you know, a stainless steel or some carbon steel tool, that would give me a baseline. You know, that particular stone machine, this tool, you know, how much metal should we expect? So once I have that baseline, I can do comparative analysis.

I can look at another shard and say, you know, does it have more or less? And does it have, you know, the same or something different? So without having a baseline for comparison, it's very hard to pass a judgment. So that's why, in all honesty, I cannot derive any judgment about the samples that Ben brought, except that they were supremely clean. You know, like because there were no contaminants.

And I find that unusual. It is. Yeah.

Well, I mean, I'm not a geologist. So it might be that, you know, if you just look at a random piece of granite, you can find an inclusion. So I just don't know. But that would be my guess. And that's another argument I'm having a lot with other people in the nuclear science community.

There are a lot of people who are interested in low-energy nuclear reactions or cold fusion, and they always claim transmutation. And transmutation means that a new metal or a new element appears where it should not be. And my argument to these people is, well, you forget that no metal is pure. So let's say you have an iron bar, and you think it's just iron.

it will contain nearly the entire periodic table in it, in some smaller fractions. But it will, because no material is pure. And in that bar of iron, you know, there will be gold and silver. It will not be a lot, but you know, if you do something to it, that stuff tends to migrate. And that actually happened in my research.

I was working with a nickel alloy, and that nickel alloy was evaporating under the influence of x-rays in my reactor. And at the bottom of that pit, I was getting rare earth. And I was like, holy smokes, you know, I'm synthesizing lanthanum and cerium and praseodymium out of nickel. So I was pretty excited because an electron microscope was very clear.
