| Dec 15, 2016 at 5:14 | comment | added | Hack-R | @Valorum Fair enough. I was thinking that perhaps it was just because maybe gold is relatively worthless -- let's say the same as silver is to gold -- but for a solid-at-room-temp metal maybe it's still pretty precious. While it can be replicated maybe that's like de-salinating water in that it's impractical except under special circumstances where you really need the gold and have an abundance of energy (like with oil-rich, water-poor middle eastern nations, which turn salt water into fresh water with oil-driven processes). | |

| Dec 14, 2016 at 6:52 | comment | added | Hack-R | @Valorum That was a good link. Not to get off on a tangent, but to avoid asking a closely related question, given that gold is worthless and can be replicated then why did the Ferangies try to rob Fort Knox for the gold (according to Tom Paris)? | |
