Recently, the German television station ProSieben ran a news story covering W. C. Heraeus in Hanau, Germany, the world’s largest privately owned refinery. In the story, Wilfried Hörner, the head of the gold foundry, shows a 500 gram bar (16.0755 troy ounces) received from an unidentified bank. The bar had the right physical dimensions to be an authentic gold bar, but one of the Heraeus employees suspected something funny. After the bar was cut in half, you can see that the inside is tungsten, with only a coating of gold on the outside.

Holy Cow! That's gotta be one of the most far-fetched OPs ever to grace the pages of ATS. Starred & flagged.
(The fake gold is a serious issue, in any case.)

I remember watching a program on Discovery Channel about the Manhattan Project which said tons of gold was borrowed from the treasury to make gold wire for their early particle accelerators. So if the LHC is the largest one ever built, wouldn't one assume it would require more gold. Maybe some of the NATO counties gave up their gold without telling their people.(World wide financial crisis) Someone is racing against the clock to build the LHC to maybe fix something wrong with the earth like the Ionosphere or protect us from something outside this solar system. Does anyone know the ratio of the LHC to the earth? The frequency of events makes me think the earth is falling apart and TPTB are scrambling to fix it.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, a synchrotron intended to collide opposing particle beams of either protons at an energy of 7 trillion electronvolts (1.12 microjoules) per particle, or lead nuclei at an energy of 574 TeV (92.0 µJ) per nucleus.[1][2] The term hadron refers to particles composed of quarks. It is expected that it will address the most fundamental questions of physics, advancing our understanding of the deepest laws of nature. The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as much as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.

And yes China got the tungsten bars and the core sampled it, that is how they discovered the tungsten.
Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of any metal, followed closely by copper, gold, and aluminum.
It should be noted that electrical conductivity is a function of temperature and all comparisons must be made at a standard temperature or adjusted for temperature.

LHC = 17 miles in circumference.
Earth = 24,901.6 miles in equatorial circumference.
It's about 4233.17% of the circumference of the Earth.
