Why is this troll science wrong?

You know what I dont get?

Why not somehow use hydrogen and somehow use fission to bind both gold and hydrogen together to create platinum? Sure you might have to have a huge whackload of hydrogen and superheated gold and enough electro-magnitism to fuse both elements, but it may be possible.

I mean, when you look at the sun, it absorbs hydrogen, and conducts nuclear fission to create helium and even iron from the hydrogen it absorbs.

Why is this any different?

Hydrogen also has only 1 proton and 1 electron, the difference isnt too significant, but if you somehow conduct fission with both gold and hydrogen you could perhaps make platinum.

We haven't found a way to fuse atoms together yet without it requiring TONS of energy. It REALLY isn't as simple as 1+1 = 2. The Sun is able to do this because of the sheer amount of pressure in the core and gravity (28 times the Earth's gravity?) as well as an ungodly impossible to achieve (at least on earth) amount of heat ( at least a million KELVIN). These conditions force the atoms together to fuse and that's how we get sunlight and UV radiations. These conditions cannot be replicated on Earth (yet?) and if we could do so, it would take a crap ton of energy to sustain it all. If you found a way to do this without consuming the energy grid of the entire planet, you would be a multi billionaire.

Also Iron is about as close as you get using our sun's fusion capabilities. In order to go to a scale of gold fusion, you would need the conditions of an exploding super nova, which are far more extreme than a normal sun.
