Gold, Radiation, and the Planetary Holocaust: this is a fun one.

Some terms to know:

- Gold: chemical element, symbol Au, atomic #79 (an uneven number of protons and electrons, leaving it with a positive charge), a transition metal found in the d-block of the periodic table. Diamagnetic with low traces of radiation

- Transition Metal: element that has an incomplete layer of electrons around the nucleus (most electrons come in pairs)

- Diamagnetism: a “phenomenon;” a property that creates a magnetic field in the opposite direction of an externally applied magnetic field – these are “weak” objects and display a very low response to magnetic stimulus (you would probably never even notice it)

- Radiation: general term used to describe the process by which energy is transmitted in the universe; directly related to the stability of a nucleus – it disrupts molecules in an effort to stabilize itself due to its own unstable nucleus

- Electromagnetic radiation (EMR): One form of energy that is emitted and absorbed by charged particles, travels in waves at the speed of light. Photons are the basic unit of EMR

- Photons: what makes up the electromagnetic spectrum of wavelengths. Among other things, they are how we measure “color” and why gold is so pretty. All wavelengths seen at the same time create “white light” (how nice, right??)

This is going to be messy and I am not a scientist. Mostly I am just looking to get some fun responses to a pretty far-out theory.

Humans are obsessed with gold. Throughout history it has proven the most valuable, beautiful, desired metal. Although the majority of its properties are not unlike those of other transition metals, a few things I need to bring to light are what it could actually be used for, and how we use it instead.

Gold resists attacks by individual acids, has high malleability, ductility, and resistance to erosion; it melts at ~2000 deg. F. It is unaffected by air and other reagents, is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, is insoluble, does not oxidize in air or water, and is the best known blocker of radiation. Gold is used in circuitry for its ability to hold without lubrication and its dependability as a connector and conductor; it stabilizes temperature and will not erode in an anti-gravity atmosphere such as space. Gold is the most applicable metal to advancing the field of aeronautics, and 75% of gold mined today is processed as jewelry. Fucking jewelry. We have enslaved people to find it, built temples and shrines with it, and wear it to prove that we are somehow better than everyone else. Still though, it isn’t even stable, it has an uneven number of neutrons (7 isotopes).

Radiation destroys molecules in less than 1 second, travelling at the speed of light – it can even change human DNA (not always in a negative way, but mostly). We’ve seen what radiation can do. It’s what comes out of nuclear weapons and destroys lives, or alters them drastically. It AIMS to destroy molecules and disrupt the natural state of atoms. Although we have learned to harness and use radiation on our own, it is still mainly emitted through natural sources (oil is one of these); radiation-related deaths on record, though, are almost all man-caused. I was only able to find a couple exceptions to this, one being the Dyatlov Pass incident of 1959 in the Soviet Union.

Some interesting places to find some radiation …

- - North Korea and other countries that have openly admitted to creating nuclear weapons

- - Siberia: highest death rate of radiation victims

- - Egypt: pyramid tombs – many people who have attempted entry come down with a mysterious “sickness.” It’s called radiation poisoning.

- - Crop circles (yes it’s true, they emit radiation and electromagnetism)

- - Oil spills (this is why so many birds and fish magically die following every oil spill ever)

MY [inane] THEORY:

The human desire for gold is actually an externally implanted vice. The idea that “money is the root of all evil” is true, and some inhuman (can we say “extra-terrestrial” or “spirit” or “god”) has placed in it our minds that we must mine a substance that is IDEAL for use in space, but creates nothing but nonsense here on Earth minus the 25% of it actually being used for progressive purposes, like lining circuits and aeronautic equipment. Every bit of humanity is structured into tiny little solar systems that orbit and work and function, but for some reason they are fragile and easily interrupted. I suggest there is a reason for this disruption, and that it is far beyond our comprehension.

In a nutshell, I propose that there is an unperceivable force in the Universe that has the intent to enslave humanity. I believe that gold is FAR more valuable than we realize, and we will continue mining it and loving it and using it to unknowingly circulate vices such as greed and power. Those vices in turn start wars; we decide that we own things, and we deserve things. And we have discovered the most powerful way to get what we want: Radiation! Nuclear war!

The great thing about gold, though, is that it is the best natural repellant to radiation we have (we currently use lead, it is affordable, obviously). Let’s assume there is a nuclear holocaust spurred by the will of this all-enslaving “force,” gold (the majority of which is found in the Earth’s mantle, not crust, and supposedly way down in the ocean) would still be here.

I really wanted to talk about electromagnetism related to unexplained phenomena (the Pyramids, Coral Castle, Stonehenge, Easter Island) but it’s just too much. If you have input on this topic and it involves magnetism in any way, please feel free to discuss!
