@quantumxparadoxx: ✨ Your Gold Is Older Than Earth Every atom of gold on Earth was forged billions of years before our planet existed. Unlike lighter elements, gold cannot be created in ordinary stars. It forms during some of the universe’s most extreme events—especially when two neutron stars collide, or in certain rare supernova explosions. These cosmic explosions unleash an enormous flood of neutrons, triggering the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process), which builds some of the heaviest elements in the periodic table—including gold. The gold in your jewelry, your phone, and even in the Earth’s crust is ancient stardust born from catastrophic cosmic collisions.
