How Did Gold End Up on Earth?

Описание: Gold shouldn’t exist on Earth.

The energy required to create gold is so extreme, so violent, that our planet has never been capable of producing it. So how did it get here? How did something forged in cosmic catastrophe end up in rings, coins, vaults — and even inside your phone?

In this episode of Simple Things Why and How, we travel billions of years into the past to uncover the true origin of gold. From the birth of the universe to the collision of neutron stars, this story takes us beyond Earth… beyond the Sun… and into some of the most powerful events ever witnessed in space.

You’ll discover:
• Why the Big Bang couldn’t create gold
• Why ordinary stars can’t produce it
• What happens when neutron stars collide
• How gold traveled across space before Earth even existed
• And why the gold we mine today is older than our planet

The next time you see gold shine, you might see it differently — not as wealth, but as a fragment of a cosmic explosion that happened billions of years ago.
