That would be cold comfort to some.
All the gold on earth can fit in to 3 Olympic Swimming Pools.
But more interesting is that to create the element gold requires a sun 7 time bigger than our own to go supernova.

Unfortunately I can confirm that.

Works for me. We had very little money but wanted to pay for it ourselves. That was 30 years ago this coming September

Worked for me as well - 32 years in July. Less so for my brother - about Ł50k, "no children allowed", proper sit down with free bar, morning suits, etc - lasted 12 years.

If your wife to be is happy with a cheap and cheerful wedding, she really wants to be married. If she is looking at the wedding as an event and is in competition with her friends to put on the best do then good luck
Best of luck with your forthcoming nuptials.

I meant the prognosis - our cheap and cheerful wedding was 12 years ago. Small group of friends and family.If your wife to be is happy with a cheap and cheerful wedding, she really wants to be married.

Photons do not experience time.
Indeed, in a vacuum. Which means a photon can be everywhere in the vacuum of the universe all at the same time. But when a photon enters an optically dense material it slows down and it does experience time. If you were a photon, you'd think you were jumping from one material to the next, in different regions of the universe, with no sense of how you got from one to t'other. What is more, time and space would distort and change pace depending on what you find yourself passing through. Until one day you venture into the wrong part of space and get eaten by an over excited atom. Weird huh?

However if we tried to show that for a particular photon, the measurement would instantly disrupt that state of the photon, meaning we can never actually see a particular photon everywhere all at the same time.
Have I remembered that right?
Gibbons sleep sitting upright.
I'll have a pint of whatever the photon is drinking.
This, in my experience, also applies to the startup business office setup and cars.

Pretty much yes. Theoretically, a photon can exist everywhere in a vacuum all at once, but in order to detect a photon you need to do something to it, the easiest way would be to cause it to be eaten by an atom in an optically dense medium. So in order to measure your everywhere photon you have to force it to be somewhere, thereby nullifying the entire point of your measurement. Theoretically speaking of course.
I’m sure this was the plot of a nineteen fifties sci-fi movie; giant atom monsters invading and eating the peaceful photon people!
There's no standard depth for an Olympic swimming pool.
Right, now in the observable moment (tip of the hat to photons and quantum physics), is the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you'll ever be again ....
Figs are pollinated by wasps that actually get trapped inside the fig in the process of pollination. The fig dissolves the wasp’s body through clever chemistry when it dies inside the fig. True story.

I presume there's a minimum depth?
The minimum depth of an Olympic swimming pool is 2m.
There are ten Olympic pools in the UK and one in Luxembourg.

Though the recommended depth is 3m.
Not clear which is used when a unit of volume.
If an Olympic-sized swimming pool has a volume of 2.5 million liters, then we divide and get our answer. So we would need 3.27 swimming pools to hold the entire global supply of gold, which some argue is the entire amount of gold mined since before the Egyptians began mining gold before 2000 BC.19 Nov 2010

So we have to work backwards to find the depth of pool used?
It's 2m.
Some Mildy interesting submarine facts.
Submarine sonar systems can detect and identify aircraft flying over head.
Sonar signatures fall into 4 categories. seismic, biological, man made and unknown - its the unknown ones that usually get most investigation.
The Speed of Sound underwater depends upon temperature and salinity. Hence because temperature and salinity varies at different depths submarines look to find the best "layer" in which to sit. In the right layer sound underwater can carry 100's of miles.
If a submarine uses an "Active Ping" it can be considered an act of war as it's only used for targetting.
In addition to bow Sonars array, most submarines have a towed sonar array which can be over 1km long.
A trident submarine is 7 stories high.

That is correct.
He also played croquet at least once.

If you look at the biggest thing in the universe, the size of the universe itself (10^27 m) down to the smallest thing in the universe, the Planck length (10^-35 m) and plot them on a logarithmic scale, it just so happens that a living cell (10^-4 m), is right in the middle.
For many musical instruments, the frequency interval separating each of the notes is an equal ratio (the 12th root of 2). This is called equal tempering. However, human hearing does not perceive notes separated in this way to be "in tune" and an equal tempered scale will sound sharp at the bass end and flat at the high end. Hence you can never completely tune an equal tempered instrument.
