Gold is not produced on earth, where did it come from?

Gold is used for jewellery in most Indian households. But the question is where does gold come from and why is it so expensive compared to other metals.

Now the question is where is gold produced and what is the science behind it. According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, the merger of two objects releases a large amount of energy.

According to the information, whenever a star is in the last stage of its life, its core collapses. This causes a supernova explosion and its layers spread into space. This is the time when neutron capture reactions occur and are generated.

Let us tell you that the reason for gold coming to earth is the collision of two neutron stars. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Astronomy have found strontium in space that other elements were also produced by neutron capture reactions. They were traveling in space with such a high neutron density that free neutrons began to join the elements. Thus strontium, thorium, uranium and the most precious gold were also produced.

Since the formation of our universe, there have been many such collisions, due to which the gold scattered in space has reached our Earth. According to some reports, in 1868, with the help of spectroscopy, scientists discovered helium in the Sun during a solar eclipse. After this, gold was discovered along with carbon, nitrogen and iron in the Sun’s atmosphere. It is said that the Sun has 2.5 trillion tons of gold, which is much more than the Earth.
