Scientists Just Figured Out How to Make Aluminum More Valuable Than Gold
On December 6, 1884, an 8.9-inch, 100-ounce pyramid of near-solid aluminum was placed atop the Washington Monument, signifying the completion of the 40-year-long project. Although a strange choice of material by today’s standards—after all, you can buy reams of the stuff in supermarkets for just a few dollars—back then, refined aluminum cost nearly as much as silver, making it quite a luxurious choice. The drastic price reduction from $550 per pound in 1852 (roughly $23,000 in today’s terms) to less than $1 per pound at the start of the 20th century revolutionized the modern economy.

Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated.
