Gold is an extraterrestrial visitor born from stellar explosions
In short: Gold does not originate from Earth's rocky crust. This video explores how gold was forged in space during cataclysmic supernovae and eventually made its way to our planet.
CERN scientist David Lunney explains the cosmic origins of gold. Rather than forming within our planet, gold was created during massive stellar explosions known as supernovae. This process explains how these precious metals transitioned from deep space to become part of the Earth's composition.
