The most expensive thing in the world ever produced

What is the most expensive thing on Earth? What is the most costly thing that the world has ever produced? Is it a gold, diamond or platinum? No…none of these precious things the world has ever known has even make it closer to the cost of the world’s most costly substance that exists. The price of these things is based on the total cost of producing them. These exclude spiritual things like love, joy, contentment and the likes which are obviously priceless and cannot be possibly measured in terms of money. The most expensive things that humans have ever produced are called antimatter. The production of antimatter is considered as artificial production(produced in human laboratories and experiments) since they can naturally occur and exist in the other parts of the universe.

According to NASA website, Antimatter is matter with its electrical charge reversed. Anti-electrons, called “positrons,” are like an electron but with a positive charge. Antiprotons are like protons with a negative charge. Positron, antiprotons and other antiparticles can be routinely created at particle accelerator labs, such as CERN in Europe, and can even be trapped and stored for days or weeks at a time. And just last year, they made antihydrogen for the first time. It didn’t last long, but they did it. Also, Antimatter is NOT antigravity. Although it has not been experimentally confirmed, existing theory predicts that antimatter behaves the same to gravity as does a normal matter.

According to information gathered by Wikipedia, Antimatter is said to be the most costly substance in existence, with an estimated cost of $25 billion per gram for positrons, and $62.5 trillion per gram for antihydrogen. This is because production is difficult (only a few antiprotons are produced in reactions in particle accelerators), and because there is higher demand for the other uses of particle accelerators. According to CERN, it has cost a few hundred million Swiss Francs to produce about 1 billionth of a gram (the amount used so far for particle/antiparticle collisions).

When this information comes to my knowledge, I started to realize how much money do I need to earn, just to be able to buy a gram of these rare things. Although the future promises a more efficient artificial production of antimatters, to cut their costs, that reality is still pretty far away from our present. I have real fun writing and sharing this article, since we are all discussing about money and finances. Now here is a thing – an antimatter that costs billions of dollars for a gram! Do you dare to buy even a milligram? I still prefer to have the spiritual things like true love and joy – which can never be bought even by hundreds of centillions of Dollars.
