  • The title was changed to Where Does Gold Come From?

I’m a gearhead nerd but not quite a “geek” in that I’ve had a lot of interests and curiosities in life including astronomy and astrophysics.  Here’s a pic of one of my custom built telescopes behind my one ton crew cab 4x4 pickup.  It’s a 6” aperture F-12 refractor on an Astrophysics 800 German Equatorial mount.  My other scope was even bigger.  A 20” aperture F-5 Newtonian reflector both scopes with custom made optics.  This was a few years back as I sold them for professional cameras, lenses and gear.  I’ve had a lot of hobbies, from drag racing to astronomy.  But yes that’s where they theorize gold originated.

Scientists can create a trillionth of a gram of gold. Then it disappears.  Meanwhile dumb rocks puked thousands of tons out of the ground!  The wonders of the Universe!  🤣

GOLDEN leprechauns 🤣👍🤔

In my experience ALL leprechauns are golden!

They live for gold. They talk about finding gold, they talk about where they found gold, they speculate on where more gold might be found, they ponder past gold finds, they fantasize about future gold finds, they put the best gold they find in their mouths to display it to other gold crazy leprechauns, they spend hours planning their next trip to get gold, they spend days discussing what clothes are best to wear when they are looking for gold, they discuss mystical concepts about gold responding to their magic "frequency" tools, they have long intellectual discussions about which magic coil is best for finding gold, they constantly weigh, measure and assess the gold they have. Many spend their whole lives happily looking for gold.

Leprechauns are way more common than most believe. Being Irish I recognize leprechauns on sight. Most don't have that ability but if you think about it you may have met a leprechaun or two yourself. Heck there might even be a few leprechauns reading this forum right now. You never know... :ohmy:

p.s. Leprechauns produce way more gold than those tiny specks called stars. Leprechauns are magical.

 I can answer that one for you Chuck. My mother said she found me at the bottom of our garden under the Gooseberry bush. The gold one is not so scientific and something of a mystery I suspect.
