Mithril

[Thomas Koenig]

I have always wondered what Mithril is; Platinum does not have
the necessary tensile strength, nor is it light.

Maybe it has now been reinvented, as a Aluminium-Copper-Lithium alloy,
such as https://www.scientific.net/MSF.794-796.1050 .

This has been discussed in the past, but you may have to dig back a
couple of decades (if you can find posts that old online) to find the
discussion!

And, no, I don't remember the result. It's been too long.
