from the top of my head:

1.2 quadrillion dollars timber, fossils fuels, food, precious stones, precious metals
1 quadrillion rare earth elements
4.5 quadrillion water
6.5 quadrillion total

Its on H2 network right now (2 hour specials) and on again in a hour…

We are already creating and using antimatter in a very limited way (PET scans for example) so it’s no stretch to think we’ll be producing it on mass in the future.
