What’s the Most Expensive Thing in the World?

Antimatter costs $62.5 trillion per gram!

What is antimatter? You’re not the first person to ask! In fact, people weren’t even sure antimatter existed for a long time. English scientist Paul Dirac predicted the existence of antimatter in 1928. Four years later, another expert proved it was real. Antimatter is made of particles identical to those in ordinary matter, but that has the opposite charge. Every particle in the world has an opposite anti-particle.

Why is antimatter so expensive? One reason is that it’s rare. It’s uncommon to find antimatter in nature, but we create it in particle accelerators. Antimatter is currently too expensive to be used, but it could have many future uses. Many experts believe antimatter could change the way we find and treat cancer. Others think we could use it to make fuel for space travel.
