Actually, precious metals (gold, silver, platimun, & palladium) are measured in troy weight. One troy ounce is about 1.097 (avoirdupois - what we normally use in the U.S.) ounces, and one troy pound is 12 troy ounces. Therefore, one pound of gold (troy) is equal to about .824 pounds (avoirdupois). One pound of gold weighs only .824 times as much as a pound of feathers....or lead.

What does an ounce of gold cannot buy an ounce of time mean?

Which is better to Buy ounce of gold or silver?

Gold by far, especially if it is pure (24k). Gold is selling for around $1000US/oz, while silver is $12-13US/oz. Ten ounces of silver might fetch $120-130US. Philosophically, it depends on who is buying. Gold is worth nothing to a silversmith, that person would rather have the silver. But they wouldn't pay more than $12-13US per ounce. $1US is one United States of America dollar.

If gold were sold by weight (instead of mass) would you rather buy it on Earth or on the Moon?

I would rather buy gold on the Moon because the gravitational force is weaker there, which means I would get more gold for the same weight compared to Earth. Since weight is the force exerted by gravity, a lower gravitational pull on the Moon would make gold less heavy and therefore cheaper to buy by weight.
