Gold and Silver - Other Uses Beside Being Sound Money and Investment Preference

[MetalMeister]

SS,

Loved this post with the link on other uses of gold.

Decided to create a thread on it.  Might find some other investment ideas besides hoarding!

Hi MM
Not exactly the type of article you had in mind when you started this thread.
 
To start the ball rolling here's an oldie.

Mobil Phones. There are allot of them about?

http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/04/27/us-japan-metals-recycling-idUST13528020080427

A tonne of ore from a gold mine produces just 5 grams (0.18 ounce) of gold on average, whereas a tonne of discarded mobile phones can yield 150 grams (5.3 ounce) or more, according to a study by Yokohama Metal Co Ltd....

So if you ever see something similar to this......

No mention of the gold here.
                                         
All isn't what it seems to be, is it?

Actually that is also the type of thing I had in mind.  In addition to that I remember me or someone in here about that same time frame posting an article about Japanese technology to mine precious metals in landfills.  Have not heard much on that recently but just the type of stuff that is right for this thread.

On the subject...

Here's another article that I've just found.

GOLD

Eat it....

Or
Make clothes with it....

Gold must still be considered cheap to do either.

“There may be those on earth who dress better or eat better, but those who enjoy the peace of God sleep better.”
 
Let them eat "Fiat"...

Anti-Matter Recipe: Take A Tiny Amount Of Gold, Shoot A Petawatt Laser Through It, Count The Positrons.

Anti-Matter Spacecraft...

Antimatter spacecraft like this one could some day shorten a trip to Mars from 11 months to one month.

Which reminded me of this old Sidewinder post.........

Science fiction often becomes science fact.

Nearly forgot

Atoms of antimatter have been trapped and stored for the first time by the ALPHA collaboration, an international team of scientists working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research near Geneva, Switzerland.

How do you file all that stuff  SS?  I can't ever find something I wrote last week. 

I better watch what I say........   The Gate Keeper knows all.

It's a gift......... 

Although it's not very difficult for me to remember interesting posts (Thought Provoking/Mind expanding) such as the ones that you post. 

I wonder if the Annunaki accept GLD, or some other fiat paper?
                     
                 

Or get Goldman Sachs to talk to them into leaving with some 450,000 Year AAA rated Bonds (preferably Greek)?

[sidewinder]

OR maybe Goldman Sach's is just an outpost the Annunaki left behind to watch the operation.  They only accept gold you know.

Another unrelated line of research uses antibodies to deliver a packet of gold nanoparticles to the cancer cell. An intense, focused laser beam is then used to explode the nanobubble, bursting the cell.
