How much would the world be worth?

Ok, so like, how much is Earth worth? Seriously, it’s kinda crazy to think about, right?

I remember being at Joshua Tree National Park last year, summer 2023, looking up at the sky. Just mind-blowing stars. I was thinking then, what’s it all worth?

There are some numbers being thrown around. I read somethin’ a while back.

• Resource replacement: Some egghead, like back in 2011, said if you had to like, rebuild Earth, it’d cost $5 quadrillion. Like, wowza.
• Earning potential: Then there’s the “how much money can Earth make?” approach. I think I saw something that was closer to $500 trillion, but honestly, who knows?

See, the real problem is life itself. It’s impossible to put a number on that. I mean, seriously, try. Can’t be done.

Earth’s price? Fuggedaboutit! It’s priceless. I guess its more of a philosophical thing, maybe a religious one.

More thoughts, off the top of my head:

• Thinking about the future price, considering climate change… it’s going down!
• Also, that Joshua Tree trip was HOT! I drank, like, 3 liters of water.
• I used to think about this stuff when I was a kid, layin’ in bed. What a wierd thing to ponder at 10 years old.

So, yeah. It’s probably pointless putting a dollar value on stuff like this. You can’t, its more complicated than it looks!

How much is the world worth?

Sixteen trillion. Or fifty-four. Who really knows?

It’s just a number, isn’t it? Like my age, feels bigger every year.

It’s everything – land, resources, people. Everything. Yet it’s nothing.

My grandma’s garden was worth more than all of that, in a way.

• Land: Supposedly valuable, more concrete than most “worth”.
• Resources: We suck them dry. Priceless? Maybe not.
• People: What’s a life really worth? Not much, some days.
• My Grandma’s garden: Tomatoes, zinnias, love. Impossible to measure, isn’t it?
• Just a number: Meaningless and everything.

It seems so unfair, though. $16 trillion to $54 trillion for everything. The sun costs nothing.

We are all just trying to figure it out. What even matters?

How much money would it be to own the world?

World’s price? A cool $1,200 trillion. Minimum.

• The buyer? Nonexistent. Earth isn’t for sale, lol.

• Total global wealth: Near impossible to precisely quantify. The real price will always surpass estimates.

• Source? Figure it out yourself. I need a new phone. My screen is cracked.

What is the total price of the world?

Okay, so the Earth’s price… Dr. Laughlin said $5 quadrillion. Wowza!

• Mass is important.
• Temp matters too.
• Plus age, yep.

Life potential, crucial! Is that even possible to measure? It’s priceless, right?

My rent’s due. Ha! Earth = $5Q, me = broke. Lol.

• But truly, it’s immeasurable.
• Beyond money, obviously.

Wait, Laughlin’s an astrophysicist? Cool! I wonder if he owns a telescope. I should get one!

How much is one planet worth?

Sixteen thousand dollars, huh? For a whole planet. That stings, somehow.

Mars, a bit better, I guess. Fourteen thousand, maybe enough for a decent car and a cross country road trip. Alone.

Five quadrillion… is that all Earth is worth? It’s weird, I was expecting more for our own home, with our own memories, where I lost my first tooth in 1998 on Maple Street.

• The Calculation: Somebody, somewhere, came up with a formula. They plugged in the resources, the location. All just numbers.
• Misplaced Value: Does it consider my grandmother’s garden? Or the late night talks with friends? No.
• Earth’s Price Tag: Five quadrillion seems like a lot, but it’s just a number. It doesn’t capture a single memory.
• Why Does It Bother Me? It reduces the world to assets. And somehow, everything I’ve ever known is included in that number. So, my worth is tied in here too.
