If that were true, there should be some traps where there is helium, but no oil or gas - none has been found. If Gold is right, his theory has another consequence. In many planets of the solar system, there should be life below the surface. Finding it could prove difficult, since drilling into Mars, for example, is still beyond human ingenuity. But Gold suggests that traces of past life may be found on the surface of Mars - in such places as the canyon Valles Marineris, where landslides have exposed material which must once have been deeply buried.
Gold makes big claims that bear on world affairs, the wealth of nations and on people's reputations.
