This is commonly argued by those already invested in gold/silver. I have small holdings in both but I know the argument doesn't apply to Bitcoin, which is a scarce commodity, without any help. It doesn't need to be, and cannot be, backed by any metals because there would need to be a trusted custodian of the metals (Who? Governments? Banks? Amazon? Soros NGO? -- No-one here is going to support any of those). Physical items cannot be placed on a blockchain. They can only be represented there.
No. Bitcoin is called "trustless" because no party needs to be trusted. Adding the "backed-by something" argument would destroy a major benefit. And that's another common reason why some suggest it.

Too many miles? Here's one for ya (24,000 miles in length):
Cali to Antarctica ... 8,000 miles. And cost is irrelevant. Lizards print money as needed. If it's possible, it gets done.

(Of course cables to Antarctica would be unlikely to appear on a public map)
The speed of light changes but it's defined as a constant by the egg-heads. It's measured in metres/sec but the definition of the unit of length (metre) is dependent on the speed of light. Nice trick.
