  Let's talk science. A nuclear fusion startup
• 8:33
  based in San Francisco claims it can create gold
• 8:36
  from mercury. potentially making alchemy a reality.
• 8:40
  While the company, Marathon Fusion, has outlined
• 8:44
  its method in a paper not yet peer -reviewed,
• 8:47
  it involves bombarding mercury -198 with energetic
• 8:51
  neutrons to produce mercury -197, which eventually
• 8:55
  decays into gold -197. However, sheeting this
• 8:59
  process requires extreme conditions, including
• 9:02
  a significant neutron flux. Experts remain skeptical,
• 9:08
  as the commercial viability of fusion reactors
• 9:11
  is still years away, leaving humanity's alchemical
• 9:14
  dreams largely confined to paper. Nonetheless,
• 9:19
  the future of fusion energy may hold promise.
• 9:24
  And in entertainment news, in the latest review
• 9:28
  of The Naked Gun, Liam Neeson shines with his
• 9:32
  deadpan goofiness. while Pamela Anderson steals
• 9:35
  scenes with her impeccable comic timing. Directed
• 9:39
  by Akeva Shaffer, this legacy sequel continues
• 9:43
  the spirit of the original trilogy, featuring
• 9:46
  the sons of classic characters. Though the film
• 9:50
  stumbles midway, it offers enough laugh -out
• 9:52
  -loud moments for nostalgic fans. Neeson's serious
• 9:56
  delivery adds a meta layer as he tackles crime,
• 9:59
  while Anderson's charm keeps lines fresh. Despite
• 10:04
  its unevenness, the film delivers a mix of inspired
• 10:07
  nonsense and retrograde humor, engaging audiences
• 10:11
  with its playful spirit. Well, alrighty folks,
• 10:15
  it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
• 10:19
  our quote comes from the American inventor and
• 10:22
  businessman, Thomas Edison. And he said, Restlessness
• 10:28
  is discontent and discontent is the first necessity
• 10:31
  of progress. And that's a wrap for this morning.
