To tell you the truth, it seems to me that everyone here doesn't like me.
I really don't know why i visit. I guess it's because interesting issues pop up here.

Surely you know that gold would be very inconvenient for use in day to day commercial transactions. Much less convenient than what we have.
Also, all the uses you mentioned amount to very few pounds of gold.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if all the processed gold in existence at the present time were turned into utility uses there might not be a need to mine any more gold for a long time.

You are really a very small and weird person

I likewise can't say that I've ever outright been called dangerous (although a number of the names that I've been called do imply it). Some of the names on the list are: deplorable, listless vessel, mega MAGA, ultra MAGA, far-right extremist, anti-vaxxer, flat-earther, science denier, climate denier, bible thumper, insurrectionist, domestic terrorist, young-earther, racist, bigot, xenophobe, homophobe, islamophobe, backwoods, hillbilly, redneck, hick, uneducated, uncivilized, nutter, religious nutter, and on and on and on...

I'll call you dangerous. Feel better? You don't care for people to take an interest
in math or science and say they're a waste of time. It's a well known fact that heat can be conserved and that the troposphere we live in is a greenhouse in a literal sense. Yet you'll say because the tropopause is a transparent barrier that it does not exist when anvil clouds proves its existence, ergo, you are dangerous.

Wait...... you've been called a climate denier? Anti vaxxer maby, but climate denier crosses the line!

He was the one who taught me to never lose a friend over politics. Every time he gets mad at me i remind him of what he taught me about not losing friends. I have serious doubts that he's still my friend though but that's just me.

The picture you show is an example of convection, which is not possible in a greenhouse. There is no "greenhouse effect". The anvil top on the cloud is because this is where the convection has stopped due to the warm air near the surface rising
and being cooled to the temperature of ambient air.

This is why you're dangerous. There's nothing there to support a cold inversion unless a barrier exists which does not allow for convection.
The lapse rate (change of 2°C/km or less) is constant with nothing in thermodynamics allowing for it. With water vapor in the atmosphere you can figure
v = √Gm/r then 1 mol = 28.4g and then you can consider why clouds rise up to the tropopause.
This will cause climate change scientists a lot of grief because they'll say that's not how heat is trapped in the troposphere (the anvil cloud and everything below it).

You cannot trap heat. An anvil cloud does not trap heat.

What I like is science will allow me to move to a country where I can be free to live my own life. I'll be able to redefine "Earth's greenhouse" while showing how different research helps to describe it.
It will be ironic if I change Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics to Atmospheric Chemistry and Astrophysics and as a disabled Veteran I am not someone who deserves a life in the U.S. I think it will be nice to live in a country where I can enjoy considering science.
It's possible that I might make studying the Earth's atmosphere based more on science. At the moment it's mostly based on modeling and observations without the actual occurrence of gasses being observed.
And this is something that will probably have me welcomed in non-English speaking countries. That gives me something to look forward to because when God closes one door, another opens.

The Bible says when they see other people doing things they will become jealous. They'll understand that they limited themselves because their preacher taught them to pray. They didn't know they could do more if they had the initiative.

And "What If" where I'm at with science, there's not much for me to discuss. What I'll probably do is start outlining what I'll be wanting to do.
This means that for how different aspects of math and science applies I can be working through that. What this would do is to start on an actual research paper. Then with my experiment if successful then it would verify my hypothesis.
Then after that the peer review would start. My work would be repeated by scientists so they can see if they have the same results for the same reasons.
It's also possible that a university professor will ask if they can work with me on the initial experiment. This would put their university in the spotlight while ensuring the experiment is done within acceptable parameters.

Delusional disorder is a serious mental illness where you can't tell the difference between what's real and what's not. Delusions, or false beliefs, comes in several types. Delusions of grandeur are one of the more common ones. It's when you believe that you have more power, wealth, smarts, or other grand traits than is true or that universities all want to work with you. Some people mistakenly call it "illusions" of grandeur.

Some delusions might be about events that possibly could have happened, but actually didn't or were exaggerated. Other delusions are clearly bizarre, such as insisting that an alien lives in your fridge.

Symptoms
Even some healthy people can hold unreasonably high opinions of themselves. But unlike them, someone with grandiose delusions is unshakably convinced that their delusions are true.

For example, you may believe that you:

Are a multimillionaire
Found a cure for cancer
Are related to a Hollywood celebrity
Other symptoms may include:

Change in your mood. You may be irritable, angry, or feel low.

Hallucinations. You see, hear, or feel things connected to your delusion that aren't really there. For example, if you believe that you have a special relationship with God, you may hear God's voice. Hallucinations aren't very common with delusional disorders, and they tend not to last long.

Other than the delusion, someone with this condition doesn't usually seem or act odd. But sometimes, the delusions can get serious enough to cause problems in their daily life.

Causes
Researchers don't know exactly what causes delusions. Sometimes, delusions of grandeur can be a symptom of another mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Grandiose delusions rarely happen by themselves. Most often, you are likely to also have delusions of persecution, a related condition where you're convinced that others are out to harm, conspire against, or otherwise mistreat you.

Several things may play a role in delusional disorders:

Mental illness in your family
An imbalance of brain chemicals called neurotransmitters
Stress
Drug abuse
Social isolation or lack of close relationships
Diagnosis
No test can confirm that you have a delusional disorder. But your doctor will take a detailed mental history and rule out other medical causes to make a diagnosis.

You have this or another type of delusional disorder if you meet these criteria:

You've had one or more delusions that lasted a month or longer.
You have not been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
You show obviously bizarre behavior other than your delusions.
If you've had any episodes of mania or depression, they didn't last longer than your delusional periods.
Your delusions don't stem from drugs, another medical condition, or a different mental disorder.

Treatment
It can be hard to get help for delusional disorder because you may not even understand that you have a problem. Or you may resist or have a hard time sticking to your treatment plan. But that's the key to feeling better.

The main treatments are:

Medication. Doctors often prescribe medicine for psychotic symptoms, depression, or to stabilize your mood. But it's unlikely that drugs alone will be enough to manage your condition.

Mental health therapy. Some types of "talk" therapy may help ease grandiose delusions. With cognitive behavioral therapy, for example, you can learn to recognize and change unhelpful behaviors.

Involuntary treatment. If your delusions put you in danger of hurting yourself of others, you may need to stay at a hospital or a treatment center until you're stable. States and localities have different laws about when and for how long you can be forced to get treatment against your will.
