Most in the field attribute David Radius Hudson as the creator of the term Orbitally Rearranged Monatomic Elements (ORMEs). Beginning in 1995, Hudson publicly discussed his findings, referencing Zecharia Sitchin, the Anunnaki, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Immanuel Velikovsky, alchemy and superconductivity. These influences shaped his theories about the extraordinary properties of monatomic elements — particularly gold. (RationalWiki)
Hudson’s Start: Mining, “Ghost Gold,” and Emission Spectroscopy
Hudson began by purchasing gold and silver as a hedge against inflation and later pursued natural gold from mine sources. In the process, he encountered a substance that mimicked gold and silver’s weight and behaviour but failed to register as either — he called it ghost gold.
“Despite this, it had the specific gravity of gold and silver, and it would flow out of the molten lead like it was gold and silver. However, when I put pressure on the lead, there was no gold or silver.” – David Hudson
This anomaly led Hudson to explore emission spectroscopy (ES). Drawing on Soviet Academy of Sciences research, he extended burn times from 10 seconds to 300, allowing hidden precious metals to appear at their own unique boiling points. (On-Nor Research)
Fractional Vaporisation and Hidden Elements
Under an argon-sheathed electrode, elements emerged sequentially with rising temperature:
- 90 s – Palladium (Pd)
- 110 s – Platinum (Pt)
- 130 s – Ruthenium (Ru)
- 140–150 s – Rhodium (Rh)
- 190 s – Iridium (Ir)
- 220 s – Osmium (Os)
This fractional vaporisation suggested each element’s light signature appears only at its boiling point.
“The emission from each element was observed to be in a sequence based on the temperatures at which they boiled.” – David Hudson
Beyond Chemistry: High-Spin States and Superconductors
Hudson observed that these materials, when properly annealed, entered high-spin states exhibiting superconductivity — energy transfer without loss. Samples reportedly levitated, changed weight and defied conventional physics. (Halligans Books)
“As the material is further annealed, it will levitate and take the pan with it. In cooling it may swell to twice its weight; in heating, it may weigh less than nothing.” – David Hudson
He patented multiple applications, suggesting biological tissues — even brain cells — contain trace rhodium and iridium.
Biological Implications: Light, DNA & Cellular Perfection
Hudson proposed that monatomic elements resonate with cellular frequencies, supporting DNA repair and energetic communication. He described them not as metals but as biological elements that pass harmlessly through the body unless energetically activated. (Ultius Research Essay)
“These elements are actually responsible for the life-giving light in our bodies.”
He linked this resonance to enhanced DNA expression, light-body development and activation of dormant strands of so-called “junk DNA.” (Token Rock)
The White Powder of Gold: Alchemical Legacy & Ascension
Hudson associated the white powder with the manna of the Bible and with the Egyptian Book of the Dead’s elixir of light. The Hebrew term “What is it?” echoed the Egyptian reference to this same sacred substance.
“This is the nourishment of the angels, the dish of the gods, the manna, the ‘What is it?’”
He claimed its ingestion awakened the light body, enhancing levitation, telepathy and DNA perfection — a transformation into a fifth-dimensional state. (Token Rock)
Alchemy and Religion Reunited Through Science
Hudson foresaw a reconciliation of ancient wisdom and quantum physics, asserting that zero-point energy and divine light are the same field.
“Religion and philosophy have long faced opposition from science; however, science will ultimately bring confirmation to the world.”
He cited Revelation’s “transparent gold” of the New Jerusalem as symbolic of monatomic, glass-like gold — the material of light.

Superconductors, Resonance & the Light Body
Superconductors, he explained, can exchange energy across space through resonance, enabling telepathic communication in the unified light field. (Scribd Archive)
“When a person has a perfect superconducting body, they become a light being, united with other minds.”
Hudson believed this state had been known to ancient priests before the fall of Solomon’s Temple.
The Final Revelation: Unlocking the DNA of Light
Hudson tied his discovery to Revelation 2:17 — “To him that overcometh will I give hidden manna, and a white stone…” — interpreting it as a metaphor for DNA activation through light, vibration and monatomic purity. (Halligans Books)
“This is the beginning of the book of light as mentioned in Revelations… This transformation is coded into your DNA, awaiting to be unlocked.”
He envisioned a coming age where science reveals humanity’s innate divinity — a re-awakening of light consciousness.
Scientific Perspective & Controversy
Mainstream science regards ORMEs as unverified, and classifies related claims as pseudoscientific. No peer-reviewed studies have confirmed superconductive or biological properties of “monatomic elements.” Nevertheless, Hudson’s work continues to inspire alternative researchers exploring the interface of consciousness, matter and gold-based healing. (RationalWiki)
Closing Thought
Through the lens of both alchemy and modern physics, Hudson’s rediscovery of ORMEs invites renewed curiosity: can gold truly act as a bridge between spirit and matter — between the visible and the light within?
