@gungasnake,
You'd have to alloy it with something to make it hard enough to withstand the acceleration of course.....

@JPhil,
why X is valuable? May be X is rare in it's characteristics and can't found in any other alphabet, may be it is accessible by only limited number of consumers, may be the story about X is very unique(exp. how X is produced differently)

@JPhil,
Hi

Maybe you could try a book in economics and try to read books such as wealth of nations by Smith.

@JPhil,
Only 2 things:
1 - Need
2 - A belief of need.

@JPhil,
Jphil, The physical world is utterly meaningless, it is biological consciouness which bestows meaning/values upon it. That said, there are many reasons such as the rarity of a commodity that makes it valuable to humanity, there are other reasons for other items but it all comes back to humans and their reasons for giving something value.
