Humans love to put a value on everything. A stroll through a shopping mall, supermarket, or Big Box store reveals one human trait. Every item you see has a price attached. We value everything, from houses and vehicles to sticks of gum. Some people refer to humans as Homo Economicus (Economic Man) rather than the scientific Homo Sapiens (Man the Thinker).

There is something on which we have placed very little value unless it directly affects us. The most valuable commodity in the Universe is not gold, diamonds, or water. It is far more rare in the known Universe than all those things.
