Since I read that, I find gold much more interesting. I mean, we can create diamonds in a lab now but we might never, ever, ever find a way to create gold.
(incidently, this is a great way to make your wife think that she'd rather have gold than diamonds.)
what the hell is gould?
i suppose it could be the past tense of "goul"
a synonym of goul is spirit
past tense of spirit would be spirited
spirited synonym is lively
How it's Made: Lively.
We can actually use particle accelerators or nuclear reactors to create it, it's just not worth it given the required energy
I read a little while ago in "A Short History of Nearly Everything" that the most likely event (theoretically) that could've created the element, gold as we know it. Is the direct collision ograterwo neutron stars. Apparantly that's the only thing that could generate the required heat.
Actually, and incredibly, nearly all elements formed inside gigantic stars billions of years ago. The sun, whose massive internal pressure fuses 700 million tons of hydrogen into 695 million tons of helium every single second(the remaining 5 million tons are released as pure energy) isnt powerful enough to generate any other elements, they all formed in absolute massive explosions and collisions in the early universe.
When Carl Sagan said that we are all made of star-stuff, he wasn't being metaphorical, he was literally right.
