  • gold is great at reflacting info red light if you what some thing to last gold is non crosive.gold may be lorge enof to absorb some neutrons and there lots of gold componds.and yet a tv networe that actauly calls them selves mass shit natoinal bull crap sais it its yousless in a post apoceliptic society

  • @gaswerti You're way off the mark, dude ! At one million atoms per hour, it would take not 8.7, not even 50, but 348,770,000,000 years, i.e., about 350 billion years to make 1 gram of gold.

  • @gaswerti Calculations are as follows :- 1 gram of gold has (Avogadro's Number) / (Atomic Mass) atoms --call it (A). In 1 year, (365.25 x 24) x 1 million atoms produced -- call it (B). No. of years required = (A) / (B) = 348,770,000,000 years !!!

  • the scrolling screen saver says  "The professor is a fuckin pimp" or this jus might be an opinion. Nah, he's a fuckin pimp

  • Is it possible that they are manufacturing gold Au ๏ in nuclear reactors and the whole nuclear power as green energy is a front?

  • Nuclear Fusion could be used to make Gold but it will be very difficult.

  • @kitty6837 You're forgiven. Gold doesn't have an oxide layer so the mercury reacts with the gold on the surface and then the amalgam allows the mercury to get into the interior of the metal. The reaction is similar to that of mercury and aluminum, but the resulting amalgam doesn't flake away like aluminum does. It just turns into a light silvery metal that doesn't look like gold.

  • @Alubrab I believe that mercury will react with gold by penetrating the oxide layer of gold and penetrate the structural integrity of it, sort of like how it reacts with aluminum. However I could be very wrong. I am new at this sort of chemistry, so please forgive me if i could be wrong.

  • How does Mercury react with Gold ??
