RE: https://mastodon.social/@EricAlper/116578831727330992 So. Correct me if I'm wrong. a quintillion is a number with 30 zeroes. 1kg gold is about 100.000 US-$. That means we are talking about 7*10^27kg of gold. Gold has a density of 19g/cm3. So that is about 19 metric tons per m3. So we are talking about 3.6^26 m3 of gold. Are you with me? The earth has a total surface of 510.000.000 km3 3.6*10^26m3 / 51*10^7km3 = 722*10^9 SO this would cover the earth several million km high with gold? Really? How big is Psyche16? 🤯
