Hello everyone, let's talk about the limit of value today.
The cheapest representative of the very common and practical value is iron. Iron is a thing that is used a lot in industry, but iron is very worthless, and each piece of iron is only worth 000015 USD. That sounds like you don't know how much it costs at all, do you? Therefore, iron is generally counted in terms of tons, and a ton of iron is about 150 US dollars.
Ten times more expensive than iron is aluminum, and the ** of aluminum is about 0$0018, or about $1,800 for a ton.
100 times more expensive than this aluminum is uranium, which is the *** uranium, and its ** is 0Around $1. Although it is 100 times that of aluminum and 1,000 times that of iron, it is actually very, very cheap. Because one gram of uranium can produce energy equivalent to 2,000 liters of gasoline, the overall calculation is 3,000 times that of uranium. So the gasoline that we usually use is a very expensive thing.
That's 60 times more expensive than this uranium, which is the most expensive car in the world, 6 per gram$15, which translates to about $6 per gram. Think about it, it's not expensive, it's only 6 dollars a gram, and you can afford it, right? In March 2013, Bugatti launched a car with the French name La Voture Noire. It means a black car, a black car, and that car is black. Q: Why is Bugatti's name so low-key? He said that because the car itself was too high-profile, the name was a little more low-key. This car, because it is custom-made, is very expensive, reaching 11 million euros, which is equivalent to about 12.3 million US dollars. This car weighs two tons, so it's only $6 per gram, and ordinary cars also weigh about two tons, like your car is also two tons, so how much is a gram? The car is about the same as iron per gram. So what about this black car, with a W16-cylinder engine with 1,500 hp and 1,600 Nm of peak torque, which is all professional data. 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 24 seconds, this car has a total of 6 exhaust pipes, the average car is only two, a better car may have 4, he has 6.
That's 10 times more expensive than this Bugatti sports car, which is**the**, now 53 per gram$7, that's 100 times more expensive than this, 100 times more expensive than **, yes, it's the radioactive element plutonium. Then this plutonium is most commonly found in nuclear waste. When a nuclear power plant generates electricity, after the uranium-238 fission, plutonium will be generated. It's an intermediate product of this fission reaction, and it's $4,000 per gram.
Don't look at it as nuclear waste so expensive, it's expensive for a reason, it can be called a uranium bomb with uranium, and an atomic bomb made of plutonium is called a plutonium bomb. But do you have a question, that is, uranium is so cheap that it can be *** it is so expensive that it can be *** so why not use uranium to use it? Because uranium is very difficult to purify, plutonium does not need to be purified. Because it is an intermediate product reflected in uranium, as long as it is taken out of nuclear waste, plutonium belongs to a relatively simple and usable nuclear raw material. Some small countries claim that they have this nuclear **, but in fact they mainly make plutonium atomic bombs.
Then 10 times more expensive than this plutonium is tritium, the price of this tritium is about 30,000 US dollars per gram, it is the raw material of the hydrogen bomb.
Then 10 times more expensive than this plutonium is tritium. Tritium, which costs about $30,000 per gram, is the raw material for the hydrogen bomb, more expensive than tritium, a radioactive element, and is the most expensive watch in the world, Patek Philippe's Henri Graves Super Function Pocket Watch, which costs $43,000 per gram.
Henry Graves was a banker who asked Patek Philippe to design the world's most complicated watch in 1925, and it took Patek Philippe three years to design it and five years to build it.
It has 24 functions, and this watch was the most complex in the world for a long time, until 56 years later, Patek Philippe introduced a watch called calibre89, which surpassed Henri Graves, but this watch was designed and manufactured with the help of computer-aided design, so Henry Graves is still the most complex watch that can be made by hand.
The watch sold for 23,237,000 francs at auction in Switzerland in 2014 and weighed 536 grams, so it cost about $43,000 per gram.
Even more expensive than the watch are diamonds, which now cost about $60,000 per gram. Usually not to describe diamonds in grams, but in carats, one gram is equal to five carats, so if a gram is 60,000 US dollars, it is equivalent to about 1 caratAbout $20,000.
The largest diamond in the world is called the Star of Africa, also known as the Stone of Cullinan. It is a 3,106-carat diamond, which is about 621 grams when converted into grams. The diamond was found in 1905 in a mine called Cullinan in Africa, and South Africa bought it from the owner for £150,000.
What did South Africa do after buying this diamond, hey, as a birthday present to King Edward VII of England, who was 66 years old at the time. Why did South Africa** give this diamond to the King of England? It was because South Africa was a British colony at that time. So in order to please the king, he immediately cut it into 9 parts, the largest piece of 1530 grams was set on his scepter, and now it is placed on permanent display in the Tower of London, and most of the remaining pieces were made into decorations for Princess Mary at that time. For example, necklaces, necklaces are strung with several pieces, and a large piece in the crown is the South African Star No. 2, which is more expensive than diamonds is the most expensive painting in the world, and this thing is super expensive and light, about 7 per gram$50,000, who painted it? Leonardo da Vinci, one of his paintings called the Savior.
As for that painting, there has been a lot of controversy, and I don't know if it was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. So the current speculation of this painting may be around 1500, Leonardo da Vinci was commissioned by King Louis XII of France to paint this painting, and later this painting was passed to the English named Charles I. By 1763, the painting had disappeared until 200 years later, in 1958, when it suddenly reappeared. At an auction, at this auction, it was determined that the painting was a fake, but as a result, a person sold it for 45 pounds, and after the auction, it was not until 2005 that it was bought by an art dealer for about $10,000. Later, after the art dealer restored the painting, it was discovered that the painting was most likely the original work of Leonardo da Vinci. As a result, in 2013, he was bought by another Swiss art dealer for $80 million, and after he bought it, he sold it to a wealthy man in Russia for $127.5 million, who was called Dmitry Leglovev.
Then Dmitry Leglovlev, after buying the painting, immediately knew that the Swiss dealer had bought it for $80 million, so he immediately accused the Swiss dealer of fraud. As a result, at the 2017 auction, he took out the painting and sold it, and within 18 minutes it was sold by a Saudi prince for 4Bought for $500 million, this prince is called Prince Badr, a distant relative of the Saudi crown prince.
After this painting, it was placed in the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Louvre is a branch of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, although it is a branch museum, in fact, it was built by the UAE itself, and the Louvre was rented on the name, so it can also be called the Louvre, the lease period is 30 years, and the rent is 5$200 million. The museum itself cost $2 billion to build, and the painting is 4500 million, and it cost 500 million to rent the name. This prince named Badr has never photographed a work of art, and he will shoot 4500 million. So many ** felt that he didn't buy it, it was the Saudi crown prince who wanted to buy this painting, but he didn't want to buy it himself, he felt faceless, and then he dragged a distant relative and said you can buy it for me. I didn't find the weight of this Savior's words, but I found the weight of the Mona Lisa, the Mona Lisa plus the outer border weighs about 8 kilograms in total, and the Savior is a little smaller than him, I estimate that he is 6 kilograms, so it is about 7 per gram$50,000. If you only consider the paper inside, it may be a few hundred grams, and if it is only a few hundred grams, the painting may cost more than $1 million per gram.
So it's more expensive than this painting, it's a chemical element, called Cymbal, $25 million per gram, which is also a radioactive element, why is this Cymbal? It is because it was first synthesized by the University of California in the United States, and the English word for California is California, so it was named CA. This thing is very radioactive, and it's a very strong neutron source, and it's a thing that emits neutrons constantly, so it's a very good nuclear detonator.
The thunderbolt itself can also be made into a nuclear bomb, so many people are worried that he can be made into an ultra-small nuclear bomb, which is particularly portable, but in fact this worry is unnecessary, because the element of the thunderbolt is very difficult to synthesize, and the price is very high, and there are only two countries that can make the element of the thunderbolt at present, the United States and Russia, and the annual output of the United States is 025 grams, Russia is 1 10 of it, so it is difficult to make it a nuclear bomb.
Anything more expensive than this is probably the most expensive thing in the world.
We've never seen anything like this. The most expensive substance in the world is antimatter. What is antimatter? All the substances we see in this world are positive matter, and a substance that is completely opposite to the nature of these substances is called antimatter, and its properties are completely opposite, to what extent? Time is also the opposite, antimatter time is reversed.
It existed theoretically, was hardly found in nature, and was later made in the laboratory, and Cern made it. At most, 10 million antiprotons can be produced in one minute. It feels fast, doesn't it? It would take 100 billion years to make one gram of antimatter at this rate. The Earth's lifespan is only about 400 billion years, so this is completely impossible.
Then antimatter has a characteristic that when it meets positive matter, both of them will disappear. So if you create antimatter in the lab, you create it and it disappears on its own. Then I figured out how to keep it a little longer, and finally fixed it in the middle with an electromagnet in a complete vacuum without any other matter, so that it wouldn't collide with anything, and it seems that the longest record at the moment was about 17 minutes.
Then when positive matter and antimatter meet, it disappears at the same time, according to the mass-energy equation, all mass is converted into energy, so it will **, its power is not at the same level as a nuclear bomb, it can easily destroy human beings, and some people even say that it is not a problem to easily destroy a solar system or even the universe. But everyone pay attention to it, this ** is an accessory, he destroys everything not really destroys, it makes everything really disappear, not blows this thing up.
So why was it made?
Because we want to understand where this thing comes from? The mass of the positive matter and the mass of the anti-matter in the universe should be equal, and after the two of them meet, the universe returns to the original state of nothing. But now we only see a lot of positive matter, not any antimatter.
So some wonder if there's a lot of antimatter trapped somewhere? We haven't found it yet, so we're looking for it everywhere, and then we can't find a way to make it ourselves, and once we can generate stable antimatter, we can completely control this thing.
That is to say, we can turn matter into energy at will, and we can turn energy into matter, and this feeling is very similar to the feeling of life, that is, we don't know where the thing of life comes from, but we can see that things that are alive can become dead things, but we can't make things that are dead become things that are alive. It is strange then, if the dead cannot become alive, then where does the original living come from? In other words, if there is no life in the universe at the beginning, is it from a lifeless thing to a living thing? If there is no living thing to become a living thing, it means that dead can become alive. In fact, the study of antimatter processes may also allow us to understand the origin of life and how it was made.
And there's also the objection that if we can control antimatter, we can really control time. If evolution is true, we may be able to go back in time to the history of something. Of course, we can control time, not only in this way, that is, antimatter and positive matter can release a lot of energy when they are combined, we can use this energy to make a particularly advanced engine, this engine can increase the speed of our aircraft to 1 2 speed of light, so that the speed of our interstellar travel is fast, and when our speed reaches 1 2 speed of light, our time slows down, which is also a way to control time.
It is controlled by the speed of time, so it makes a lot of sense to produce antimatter. Now it is estimated that the ** of one gram of antimatter is about 60 trillion meters, what is the concept of this 60 trillion dollars? It is the sum of the gross national product of the whole earth that can make one gram.
Well, that's what the most expensive thing in the world, and it doesn't get much more expensive than that. Of course, you can also change the perspective, more expensive than it is life, love, freedom.
