How do you determine if your gold is fake, without cutting the bars in half? Archimedes figured it out, while running naked through the streets of ancient Greece and I'm going to reveal that method and explain it in detail so that you know not only how it's done, but how rotten government is and why I suspect the Federal Reserve which operates behind the scenes to do all kinds of nasty stuff (Four letter words used to express ire, in this video) Swapping gold for the cheaper, 'tungsten' isn't the worst of their deeds I think 9/11 was much worse and dismantling our US Constitution is much worse A solid gold bar of 1,000 grams will have a density of 19,300 grams/cm^3, while a solid tungsten bar will have a density of only 19,250 grams/cm^3 If your gold bar has a tungsten center, you will have a mixture of gold and tungsten and the density will be somewhere between 19,250 grams/cm^3 and 19,300 grams/cm^3 if the mass is exactly 1,000 grams This is difficult to detect If a bar is suspected to be a mixture of gold and tungsten, weigh it, while it's dry, with a precision scale, correct to several decimal places to confirm that it is exactly 1,000 grams Next, immerse it in water in which the exact volume of the bar can be determined You have to be careful, because water is a polar molecule and so water acts just like a magnet It will be attracted to the walls of some vessels and you'll see two levels; One for the larger body of water and another for the height on the sides of the vessel, because of the magnetic attraction to the sides of the vessel If you read the larger body of water before and after you put in the metal bar into the water, this solves the problem of attraction to the sides of the vessel We are looking for a very precise measurement and we can't afford to count volume which isn't there or not count volume, which is there A vessel which is hydrophobic would not allow the water to cling to the walls and might be preferred to glass, which is hydrophilic 'Hydrophobic', fears water and 'hydrophilic', loves water The difference in the density of the two metals is so slight that only precision will give you a clue as to what you have The density is the mass, in this case, 1,000 grams, divided by the volume in cubic centimeters and the units will be grams/cubic centimeter If your density is coming up short, say closer to 19,250 g/cm^3 than 19,300 g/cm^3, you might have fake gold or you may be inaccurate on your measurements and doing it three times, will tell you if your measurements are varying and by how much Smaller pieces of gold will be even more difficult to determine
