Oct 26, 2018 at 21:37 comment added orthocresol I'm not migrating this. It's on topic for Chemistry, possibly not for Physics. Just because Physics has questions on the Big Bang doesn't mean that this should be migrated, that's a bit of an overreaction - your question isn't even remotely about the Big Bang. Jon was just describing how the elements were made naturally, the point being that humans are capable of mimicking the nuclear reactions which formed the heavier metals.

Oct 26, 2018 at 13:05 comment added Jon Custer Not sure if much Be was formed in the Big Bang (Physics SE has good questions/answers on nucleosynthesis in the Big Bang), but all the rest were formed later through nuclear reactions. Yes, they can all be made artificially at ridiculous cost.
