Mystery blobs in Earth's mantle may be linked to ancient gold and platinum that arrived from space​

Scientists may have finally figured out why Earth's precious metals appear close to the surface, despite being so dense they should have sunk to the core. Turns out, they got stuck in gooey, half-melted rock after giant space rocks — some, perhaps, as large as the moon — smashed into Earth.

The abundance of precious metals near the surface has long puzzled researchers. Your platinum engagement ring, your grandmother's antique gold locket, the palladium that makes your car's catalytic converter work: None of them should exist.

Or maybe we are still mining the planet for them. All of the gold seems to end up in a few vaults around the world except for some scrap that we little people are allowed to hold.

News is also out about ways to cure cancer with gold. Gold nano particles are injected into the body. They attach to cancer cells and when exposed to a laser, the gold heats up around the cancer cells and destroys the cancer with 0 side effects.
