Humans own 23³m³ of gold total
Humans have mined more than 200000 metric tons of gold, which is about 10000 cubic meters, not 23
Whoops. 23³ m³
23 cubed cubic metres? Why not just put a few zeroes in the first place?
I guess, because that way it easier conveys the point of ‘it's a cube with 23 meters side’, which makes sense as it's easier to imagine than just an arbitrary amount of cubic meters.
Correct. Cube 23m on each side. I think I meant to write (23m)³ but forgot the parentheses.
Most of it's used in tech so how much of it is owned and not licensed? 🤔
Very little gold is used in tech
