Why Gold has Remained so Important for Over 6000 Years, Science Edition

Good as Gold, The Gold Standard, Go
for Gold, Heart of Gold, Worth its
Weight in Gold, Information Gold
Mine...
The list goes on and on. We all know
gold; it's engrained in our
culture, economy, fashion, lifestyles,
sporting events and more. But
why is gold so important? Why has
gold remained so relevant for so
long?
By examining the elemental
properties of gold, it becomes clear
that
gold provides a globally neutral and
natural unit of account in
relation to all other elements
required by humans. The scientific
properties of gold in our natural and
human systems reconciled
independently over thousands of
years. We ask you to consider an
alternative view of gold's usefulness,
one absent the emotive politics
of money, fear, and greed.
Elements, Oxygen, Time
Everything known to exist in the
universe, on this planet, and even
life itself can be broken down to 92
naturally-occurring elements, the
basic building blocks of everything.
Oxygen enables life, but over time it
causes nearly every commodity to
rot, tarnish, rust, or oxidize,
establishing an expiration date or
finite life. Only Noble Metals are
exempt. The elemental particles
making up these eight "noble
metals" are organized in a manner
that
makes them unreactive with air, or
"immortal" as pure elements.
Of the eight noble metals, only four
became broadly employed as
commodities: gold, silver, platinum,
and palladium. Of the four, gold
is the rarest on earth and visually
discernible due to its color and
purity.
