well, as i said that was a possibiltybut i was hoping that maybe someone else would have heard of this, perhaps we better wait till JP gets back with the results

According to World Gold Council as of this month, total world gold reserves are 32,092 tons.
This does not even include the countless tons that have gone into jewelry, gold plating, etc.

okay, so now we have to work out the area that would fill - up for it anyone ?
edit - didnt notice your 'countless' do you reckon it could really be countless ?

All that is needed now is the density of pure Gold, and it can be worked outOriginally posted by pol@21 September 2003 - 17:03
okay
Anyone know it, perchance?

"Countless" in the sense that I don't know how you could possibly gather it all together and determine a weight.Originally posted by pol@21 September 2003 - 09:03

A cubic meter of gold will weigh 19.3 tonnes

sorry, got caught away the bored thread- @clocker, according to the jeweller, it was 'all the gold ever found'
, so i was wondering just what the mass would be roughly

Density = mass / volume
Rearranged -> Volume = Mass / Density
Mass = 32092 E6 kg
Density = 19.3 E6 kgm^-3 (Thanks for working it out so I could make sure, clocker
Volume = V
V = 32092 / 19.3
= 1663 m^3
Work out the size of the net yourself

Who knows?
Just using the verifiable gold reserves though the figure comes to about 1663 cubic meters.
Somewhat larger than a soccer goal, I should imagine.

i cant visualize 1663 c/metres
