Last Updated:May 28, 2025, 13:25 IST When the planet first formed about 4.5 billion years ago, most of these precious metals sank into the metallic core, more than 3,000 kilometers beneath the surface. Why is Earth leaking gold and precious metals? A new study explores just that. (News18) Most of the gold and precious metals
Researchers from Göttingen found tiny traces of the precious metal Ruthenium with an anomalous isotopic composition in lavas from Hawaii. The new findings prove that the Earth’s core is leaking metallic material, including gold and other precious metals. Credit: United States Geological Survey (M.

Martingale measure The martingale property of an asset means that its current price is fair, that is, it reflects the discounted expected future payoffs. Martingale probability measures are often denoted by \(\mathbbm {Q}\) in the financial literature. We want to find martingale measures which are equivalent to the original probability measure \(\mathbbm {P}\). In our
