[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 43990, member: 378"] Hi all, If you've ever wondered just how gold gets it's weight/mass this great little article by John Walker (2006) might just help explain it. There's also a small bit of info about the yellowish glow of gold and how it comes about. Gotta love physics. [url]http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/golden_glow/[/url] The little poem at the end is so great: What keeps that golden twinkle bright? Mass increase near speed of light! Cheers, Shauno EDIT- MODS: I was going to copy/paste the article in, but figured the equations might not show correctly? [/QUOTE]
