I know we can make diamonds, but I don't think gold can be made synthetically.

Maybe... but this is the first I'm hearing about it.

I just read this online...

Gold is an element, as is carbon. Graphite is a form of carbon. Diamond is a form of carbon. Graphite and diamond are two different arrangements of carbon atoms. We can reform carbon from graphite into diamond, but there is nothing to reform to make gold.
From what I understand... they can create every known thing on our planet, at least at a very tiny size. We can't create a human, but we can create the cells with the dna on, that rebuilds your body, turn on dna that can make you glow, grow an ear, from a cell we made. The same technology can take any element, and flip it's switches and turn it into another. This is a result of nano technology basically... everything is made of exactly the same thing, change the switches, the math changes... but it's still the same micro elements, just change the order of them.
