Gregory's Server@vicgrinberg thanks. I had some memory of belief in the periphery of a supernova (where shock wave hits) being candidate for heavier elements like gold. Did my memory fail me; and did the ‘aha’ moment kill that idea?

@richardwerskine I'm not able to trace the history of how the ideas changed here - it's not just the aha moment, but also some theoretical problems with getting the reactions to actually occur in the supernova ejecta.
