Ultrasonic / mechanical cavitation used to transmute matter

You could try a flame test if you have a gas cooker to hand. Apparently, Se is azure blue, which is close to Cu but significantly different.

It should be easy enough to snip off a bit of this wire and have it tested for selenium. Selenium is a standard medical blood test. You could try and dissolve a bit of the dull silvery stuff in a mild acid, neutralise it with a base and run it through a hospital blood test system. Do you know your doctor well enough to ask him or her to do this for you?

@Paul-R,


Right, good approach. Thank you. Melting point! I thought about a scientific test confirmation; The looming question is: What would follow from the results of a positive finding? The ramifications of the discovery would threaten to trigger a collapse in the commodity markets, that's why no one will help further the Italian's project. Who would care to pay attention to a discovery with such disastrous consequences?


This is the reason why the Italian researcher is a leper and not celebrated as a benefactor.

Why do you think you may have ended up with Se (as opposed to some other element)?

[synchro1]

The number of electrons in the shells of copper and selenium on the table of periodic elements factor mathematically. 29 electrons for copper 34 for selenium. The first three shells are identical; 2, 8, and 18: The copper only needs to bond 5 electrons to it's outer shell to transmute:


Transmutaion is only possible with outer shell alteration between elements.

Aren't you forgetting that for a new element you need to change the nucleus of the element, not Just  adding electrons?
