Is it quantum mechanically possible, that in a tank full of water, with a tiny probability, some wave functions of water molecules combine to form a gold atom? Even for a tiny tiny amount of time with astonishingly small percentage

Or is there some fundamental law preventing these kinds of energy changes

Not enough energy

Let's increase the size of the tank, pressure of water, and temperature of water then
>>
At least a few water molecules would need to break down, the nuclei can't fuse with electrons around, and losing those means no molecules. Then there would have to be immense pressure to get the nuclei to fuse. In conditions where the rest of the tank is water, there would not be enough pressure to accomplish this. The free nuclei would steal electrons from around them making fusion impossible in any case.

We have a hard enough time changing hydrogen into helium. What the hell are you even talking about?

The question is if it's technically possible, which yes it is but unfathomably unlikely.

I assumed being a brainlet was a qualification for all /sci/ posters. That's why you're circlejerking here instead of doing important things like working, studying, or researching.

Nobody cares about "unfathomably unlikely". If it is possible, people will do it later. Brainlets always say some stuff is unlikely and it happens. L2P.

no. quantum wave functions represent the probability distribution of position and momentum.

Nothing about any of that can make water turn into gold.
