    If the volume stays the same and the mass changes, you have the recipe for infinite energy.

    Take songwriting really low density up a hill, turn it to gold, instant energy gain.

        Air has to be exempt, otherwise since you are always “touching” it, you would be instantly encased in gold…

            I would say liquids are going to turn into gold.

            Sucks, since showers and baths are important. That is going to be one stinky Midas.
