This is most expensive substance in Universe, even one gram costs Rs 5270000000000000, it is…, can be used for…
To poets, philosophers, and hopeless romantics, love might be seen as the most precious thing in the world. But when it comes to tangible creations, the ultra-rich set their sights on rare and extravagant possessions—think Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi or the one-of-a-kind Bugatti La Voiture Noire. However, the most expensive material on Earth is not gold, diamonds, or the latest crypto coin backed by billionaires. It is something much more mysterious—and much more precious.
This is most expensive substance in Universe, even one gram costs Rs 5270000000000000!
To put things into better perspective, just one gram of this rare material could buy every lifestyle yacht, mansion, and private island in the world—and even give you enough change to fund your space program. The $400 million Boeing 747 private jet, recently gifted to the U.S. by the Qatari royal family, grabbed global attention for its sheer luxury and jaw-dropping value. But to truly grasp the worth of the most expensive substance on Earth, consider this: just one gram of it is enough to buy 155,000 of those ultra-luxurious jets—and still have money to spare. So what it is? Any guesses?
What is Antimatter?
The answer? Antimatter—a material that you can find as an actual part of physics, a fancy book from particle physics labs, or a thriller novel by Dan Brown. It is commonly described as the mirror or the “evil twin” of regular matter. For every particle that one knows about, such as a proton or electron, antimatter has its counterpart that has the same mass but opposite electric charge. And what happens when matter and antimatter meet? They annihilate each other in a burst of energy that is sufficiently powerfultant to easily outrun a supernova.
The downside? Antimatter is incredibly hard to make—and even harder to store! Scientists have the capability to make it in facilities like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, but only in minuscule quantities, and at a massive energy and time expenditure. So far, only a handful of nanograms have ever been made, and none have lasted long enough to seriously consider actually opening up a bank account, much less sit down with a financial advisor.
So, why bother with something that is so hard to pinpoint? Antimatter could eventually change the future of energy and space travel. In theory, just one gram of antimatter could produce the same energy equivalent of a nuclear bomb without the prolonged radioactive fallout. The potential is great, but the task is enormous. Until scientists figure out how to contain it safely and make it economically viable it will remain less a source of power and more a science fiction possibility – shimmering just beyond the portal of possibility.
Antimatter has an estimated price of around $62 trillion per gram—that’s 62 lakh crore dollars for a minuscule amount of substance. Antimatter is now a more valuable substance than the total combined wealth of most continents, and that makes it the most expensive material ever known to existence.
