Watson talks about the high conductivity of silver, higher than copper. I remember reading years ago that the Manhattan atom bomb project required giant magnets for electromagnetic separation of U-235.
They couldn't get the allocation of copper for the project in a timely manner due to the war so project manager Leslie Groves borrowed 15,000 tons of silver (440,000,000 oz) from the US Treasury, drew it into wire and they wound the coils in silver.
They did return the silver after the war ended.
...
They talked about silver supply deficit, but we've been in deficit of silver supply for the past 60 years that I've followed it and we never seem to run out. It magically comes from somewhere ...
