Iron, Silver and Gold

[COMMANDR]

Did you ever wonder just where all the silver and gold we so covet and lust for comes from.
The following article is alittle "eggheaded" but well worth the read.

"Before going farther in our study of the phenomenon which we call heat,
it might be well to consider briefly, the three states of matter which
result from the various degrees of heat energy or temperature which the
matter may possess at a given time".

Why is the element silver the pivitol point reversal between the release
and abosorption of radiant energy in the process of fusion building up
heavier elements in a new star's formation?

"...............when bare nuclei impact other bare nuclei (at energy
levels within the the interior of a star) we see the fusion of the two
may, and frequently does take place. The fusion of two nuclei results in
the formation of a single nucleus which has a mass slightly smaller than
that of the two parts from which it was created. The mass which is lost,
appears as a tremendous burst of radiant energy, most of which
subsequently is converted to heat. We note that this fusion or joining
together of nuclear particles may occur in a number of ways, but in
every case where the resultant nucleus has a mass smaller than the mass
of the atom of silver, large quantities of heat will be released as a a
result of the combination. When the mass of the resultant nucleus is
greater than the the mass of an atom of silver, a large quantity of
energy is absorbed rather than radiated, but this event occurs so
infrequently........" (radius of curvature defined by E=MC2 expanded

Contemporary Theory http://www.lbl.gov/abc/Basic.html
<http://www.lbl.gov/abc/Basic.html> : When a star is formed, it
initially consists of hydrogen and helium created in the Big Bang, the
process that created our universe. Hydrogen isotopes collide in a star
and fuse forming a helium nucleus. Later, the helium nuclei collide and
form heavier elements. Fusion is a nuclear reaction in which nuclei
combine to form a heavier nucleus. It is the basic reaction which drives
the Sun. Lighter elements fuse and form heavier elements. These
reactions continue until the nuclei reach iron (around mass sixty), the
nucleus with the most binding energy. When a nucleus reaches mass sixty,
no more fusion occurs in a star because it is energetically unfavorable
to produce higher masses. Once a star has converted a large fraction of
its core's mass to iron, it has almost reached the end of its life.
The fusion chain cannot continue so its fuel is reduced. Some stars keep
shrinking until they become a cooling ember made up of iron. However, if
a star is sufficiently massive, a tremendous, violent, brilliant
explosion can happen. A star will suddenly expand and produce, in a very
short time, more energy than our Sun will produce in a lifetime. When
this happens, we say that a star has become a supernova. While a
star is in the supernova phase, many important reactions occur. The
nuclei are accelerated to much higher velocities than can occur in a
fusing star. With the added energy caused by their speed, nuclei can
fuse and produce elements higher in mass than iron. The extra energy in
the explosion is necessary to over come the energy barrier of a higher
mass element. Elements such as lead, gold, and silver found on Earth
were once the debris of a supernova explosion. The element iron that we
find all through the Earth and in its center is directly derived from
both super novae and dead stars.

...provided a person subscribes to the Big Bang theory...while I believe that elements can be dispersed in such a way - as scientists are able to analyze stellar activity to a much greater extent than ever before...I personally believe the earth was the result of creation by God - and therefore the majority of the precious elements (gold, silver, platinum, etc) were part of that creation. That's not to say that some of the elements existing on earth DIDN'T arrive from some subsequent super nova - all of the meteors and meteorite fragments we find are evidence that we're bombarded every day from space...

Thanks for the info!

Ditto on what EPC said.....reminds me of the joke where some scientists told God that they could create human life as He did. God said go ahead. The scientists said they would need dirt and God said, ok, make whatever you need!
