Is that what the article says? I am not clicking on it. Cause if it is so, one would think that would be one of the 14 million futures Dr. Strange saw.

The Infinity Gauntlet the original, left-handed one owned by Thanos was forged in the heart of a dying star by Eitri, the Asgardian dwarf king. Eitri, using the power of this star, also forged Thors hammer, Mjolnir; in the middle of the movie, he also forges his new battle-axe, the aforementioned Stormbreaker. He also mentions that Thanos forced him to make the Infinity Gauntlet, the only item capable of holding all those precious Infinity Stones.

Its never explained how the fanciest, deadliest glove in the universe is actually made, but the dying star named Nidavellir in the Marvel Cinematic Universe clearly played a huge role. Based on the rather unique color and properties of the Infinity Gauntlet as shown in Infinity War, however, Im going to say that its almost certainly made of gold. Forget its appearance; gold is only formed in the hearts of dying stars too, during the final moments of particularly massive or dense stars that burn out in a spectacular supernova.

That, dear readers, is all the Avengers needed to know. I cant believe Stark, Banner, Shuri or anyone else didnt notice this or even begin to think about this. Havent any of them seen or read Lord of the Rings?

The One Ring in those famous tones and flicks is made of gold. Golds melting point is around 1,064C (1,948F). Mount Dooms lava lake was the only place hot enough to destroy it, which (very mild spoiler alert) is precisely why it was lobbed in there by a pair of sneaky hobbitses.

Infinity War is set in the real world in the here and now, where science definitely applies and magic isnt really a thing. That means the golden Infinity Gauntlet, made of gold, is perfectly perishable in particularly hot lava. Not all lava is above the melting point of gold, but I can think of one very obvious, timely example of a volcano that regularly produces appropriately disastrous lava: Kilauea.

You may have noticed that its erupting quite spectacularly right now. Its lava temperature changes a fair bit, but on average, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), its around 1,170C (2,140F). Within its insulated lava tubes, it rises to 1,250C (2,200F).

They shouldnt have inadvertently brought Thanos and his forces to Wakanda for the final confrontation; instead, the Avengers should have taken the Vision to Hawaii, run through a lava tube, then ambushed their archenemy with some lava. Even a single splash on the Infinity Gauntlet would have ruined it and the cosmos would have been saved.

Why are they stupidly assuming the gauntlet is made of gold? When it is most likely made of Uru or something else that isn't real?

That really isn't the (only) reason...

Why didnt Tribunal get involved DURING the war?

They seem to base it on the color of the gauntlet.

So if I gave them a bunch of rocks painted gold, will they give me a ton of money?

Did he miss the part where a literal wizard was a major character in this movie?
