Scientists yesterday 17/10/2017 discovered a vast supply of gold on the far side of the universe.
The extraordinary hoard is the result of a huge collision between two ultra-dense neutron stars.
The resulting gravitational waves and radiation flash were picked up by powerful detectors and telescopes on Earth and in orbit.
The explosion happened 130 million years ago in the Hydra constellation, which is so far away that the light and the ripples in space and time have only just reached us.
The gold created by the blast is estimated to weigh more than the whole of the Earth’s mass. Huge quantities of platinum, uranium and other heavy elements such as lead were also created.
Scientists not only 'heard' the phenomenon by measuring vibrations in space-time, they also used satellite and ground-based telescopes to see light and radiation pouring out of the stellar fireball, dubbed a 'kilonova'.
Excited astronomers talked of opening a 'new chapter in astrophysics' and unlocking a 'treasure trove' of new science.
The discovery will help scientists better understand the inner workings and emissions of neutron stars, as well as more fundamental physics such as general relativity and the expansion of our universe.
One scientists suggests the event 'will be remembered as one of the most studied astrophysical events in history.'
21,000,000 Vs infinite amount of gold. find more than 21M Bitcoins.
I copied this from dailymail Uk. Bitcoin @$10,000 first month of 2018.
Unfortunately, sand is even more than both gold and bitcoin combined but its not about the quantity but rather its about the value of the items you are comparing. I dont need to read about the scientist report to know that the amount of gold is more than bitcoin even comapring the quantity alone is an exercise in futility. The amount of gold can only be estimated up till the amount that has been discovered because it a natural endowment which could be anywhere but because it has not been discovered, we begin to compare it with bitcoin that has a definite end.
Come to think of. I have not seen any where bitcoin is now competing with gold in terms of value as that will be a battle lost from the beginning.
