Mankind's attitude to gold is bizarre. Chemically, it is uninteresting - it barely reacts with any other element. Yet, of all the 118 elements in the periodic table, gold is the one we humans have always tended to choose to use as currency. Why not osmium or chromium, or helium, say - or maybe seaborgium? Why gold?

years ago I was told that the first humans were transported to earth to mine the easy to get at gold for the alian overseers needed for there space travel. When the easy to get at gold run out the the miners were left on earth. Our desire for gold is hard wired on our mind!
