Talk:Gold Dust

"Gold"
Would there be a note that most likely "Gold Dust" is not exactly "golden", as gold is not affect able by magnetism. Humans have a better chance of being magnetic for their iron in the body. VolteMetalic (talk) 17:08, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I was under teh impression that Magnetism Release magentized objects. So that would include non-magnetic ones.Umishiru (talk) 17:09, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * acutal i looked it up and gold can be, under certain conditions


 * Yeah? under which? VolteMetalic (talk) 17:47, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Before we get science heavy, please note that Kishi is known for being bad at science.Umishiru (talk) 17:51, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Doesnt matter, tell me :) I want to expand my knowledge of science. VolteMetalic (talk) 18:34, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * All materials are affected by magnetic fields, but in different degrees. Gold is considered diamagnetic. It means that when subjected to a strong magnetic field it is weakly repelled. Thunder God Cid (talk) 19:46, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Magnetism
I was under the impression that Kishimoto said he was bad at physics... so it being gold doesn't mean it is not magnetic in the naruto universe. S im A nt 17:27, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the possibility still exists but Shounen said there was no reference to it being magnetism in the spoiler so he's waiting for the raw. But if we go by the english scan should we just add it and wait for the raw if it says otherwise O.o.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 17:33, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I really wish he'd try using wikipedia, or any other encyclopaedia for that matter when it comes to science stuff he doesn't know well. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:35, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well his kekkei genkei allows him to magnitize stuff the same way toroi magnetized a person the fourth magnetizes golden particles thus being capable to control it. (D.G 23:04, July 7, 2011 (UTC))

Gold Dust?
If Iron Sand is "砂鉄" (Satetsu), shouldn't "砂金" (Sakin) be "Gold Sand"? Or "Iron Dust" and "Gold Dust." Not hugely important, just for consistency purposes. --GoDai (talk) 08:34, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would like to know more about this as well. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:08, July 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Blame it on the English for coming up with non-matching terms for these phenomena. 砂金 is the Japanese term for what is called 'gold dust' in English. 砂鉄 is called 'iron sand'. We can't just go about changing the language. —ShounenSuki (talk 00:04, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh so they were actual specialized terms. Interesting. Thanks. --GoDai (talk) 19:58, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
