The most valuable thing on Earth is information--your information.

Re: The most valuable substances on Earth

Based on the recent rona experience, the most valuable item would appear to be toilet paper.
On the other hand, the Romans managed without.

You are obviously not a supporter of euthanasia
Did all of Kevorkian's patients feel the same as you?

A commodity like corn and pork bellies? How is it traded?
Do you really understand time?

Re: The most valuable substances on Earth

Fresh clean drinking water. No doubt. There has been research performed on this subject extensively. Nothing is more valuable.

I think this is bang on.. just look at all of the richest people in the world, they may offer a picture app or a delivery service but you can guarantee they make a heck of a lot of their fortune by knowing more about you than you do.. [emoji6]

Re: The most valuable substances on Earth

#1. Health,
(being near death really puts life back into perspective)

#2. Time,
(and being able to decide yourself what you want to do with it)

#3. Common Sense,
(somebody aready mentioned that earlier, but it seems to be getting pretty rare...)

#4. Honesty,
(unfortunately, this is getting pretty rare out there too.)

sorry got a bit off Topic, but I just felt that these had to be mentioned...


And so back to Answer the Topic, Antimatter.
Antimatter is considered to be the most expensive substance on Earth because it requires an incredible amount of energy to generate. According to CERN, it requires several hundred million pounds just to create one-billionth of a gram of antimatter. 21.10.2020
