My problem with the slave mining is this
Wouldnt it be easier to simply make machines that mine? They wouldnt need to rest and wouldnt rebel. Also a race that has the ability to traverse the universe would be beyond the need to mine gold. If for some reason they werent then im sure they would have a grasp on manipulating matter and could create their own.edit on 2-11-2011 by Jassu because: (no reason given)

Here's also my two cents on this theory. Gold is supposedly only created when a supernova occurs. Well that being said, im sure there are plenty of other celestial bodies further out in the universe that have ridiculous amounts of gold compared to our little planet. Supernovas are happening somewhere out in the distant universe and the gold they create im sure is vast. After all, when was the last time our galaxy had an exploding star ?

Not one full stop, not even at the end lol. I am no punctuation Nazi so I let you off. Got to admit this is the first I have heard of this theory, some of David Ickes err theories are off the scale, but his calm demenour always gives him that slight credible edge.
I don't think we are here to mine gold, I think the cash for gold adverts have a lot more to do with the government and a time when the monetary system will crash and they want all the gold before that happens.
Surely aliens have discovered more valuable things if they are able to travel the universe, maybe they have even realised gold isn't worth a penny.edit on 2-11-2011 by eyesdown because: (no reason given)

- Gold synthesis from mercury
Gold obtained by mining has copper and silver impurities. Gold of higher purity can be made through the photoneutron process:
Mercury 198 + 6.8MeV gamma ray to 1 neutron + Mercury 197 (half-life 2.7 days to Gold 197 + 1 positron)
These energy levels allow a more efficient neutron source than the Spallation Neutron Source.
- Gold synthesis in an accelerator
Gold synthesis in a particle accelerator is possible in many ways. The Spallation Neutron Source has a liquid mercury target that will be transmuted into gold, platinum, and iridium, which are lower in atomic number.
- Gold synthesis in a nuclear reactor
Gold was first synthesized from mercury by neutron bombardment in 1941, but the isotopes of gold produced were all radioactive.
Gold can currently be manufactured in a nuclear reactor by irradiation either of platinum or mercury. Since platinum is more expensive than gold, platinum is economically unsuitable as a raw material.
Only the mercury isotope 196Hg, which occurs with a frequency of 0.15% in natural mercury, can be converted to gold by neutron capture, and following electron capture-decay into 197Au with slow neutrons. Other mercury isotopes are converted when irradiated with slow neutrons into one another or formed mercury isotopes, which beta decay into thallium.
Using fast neutrons, the mercury isotope 198Hg, which composes 9.97% of natural mercury, can be converted by splitting off a neutron and becoming 197Hg, which then disintegrates to stable gold. This reaction, however, possesses a smaller activation cross-section and is feasible only with un-moderated reactors.
It is also possible to eject several neutrons with very high energy into the other mercury isotopes in order to form 197Hg. However such high-energy neutrons can be produced only by particle accelerators
Makes no sense why they would come to a populated planet to harvest something so abundant in the universe.
Gold rush in space? ... That means Eros is a goldmine in space, as well as a platinum mine, a zinc mine and many more minerals besides. If Eros is typical of stony meteorites, then it contains about 3% metal. With the known abundance's of metals in meteorites, even a very cautious estimate suggests 20,000 million tonnes of aluminium along with similar amounts of gold, platinum and other rarer metals.
