When you see this title, you may wonder, "Is it necessary to spend money to make a person born? Aren't people naturally bred? However, naturally bred people are complete "randomly generated", and the "made" here means to "create" a person according to people's wishes, such as creating a person exactly like the British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, how much money is needed?
Many authorities have repeatedly tried to calculate how much it would cost to build a person's materials. In 2013, actor Benedict Cumberbatch was a guest director at the Cambridge Science Festival, and the chemistry accountant calculated how much it would cost to build all the elements necessary for Cumberbatch.
All in all, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry calculations, the construction of a person needs 59 elements. Six of them - carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus - make up 99.1 percent of our bodies.
The most abundant component of the human body is oxygen, which makes up 61% of the available space in the body. So it seems contrary to our common sense to say that almost 2/3 of us are made up of this odorless gas because according to this logic, it seems that the larger we are, the higher the "oxygen" content, the easier it is to float, but the real situation is quite the opposite. The reason we are not as light and flexible as balloons are that most of the oxygen in our bodies has been combined with hydrogen, which accounts for 10% of our bodies, to form water - and water, which is frighteningly heavy. The fact that two of the lightest things in nature - oxygen and hydrogen - combine to form something very heavy is ironic, but that's the nature of who you are as a human being. Oxygen and hydrogen are two of the cheaper elements in the human body, and a person of Benedict Cumberbatch's size has a total value of £8.90 for oxygen and a little over £16 for hydrogen; nitrogen, which accounts for 2.6% of the body, is worth more per unit but is worth only 27 pence in total.
The above materials do not cost a lot, but the others are very expensive.
According to the Royal Society of Chemistry, to complete the shaping of Benedict Cumberbatch, you need about 30 pounds of the purest carbon, which will cost £ 44,300. Calcium, phosphorus, and potassium are also needed, which is not too much, but still costs £47,000. Most of the other elements are more expensive per unit volume, but the good news is that only a small amount is needed. For example, thorium costs almost £2,000 per gram, but because it makes up only 0.0000001% of the body, it can be bought for 21p. As for Sm, which is 0.000000007% of the body, it costs almost nothing!
Scientists have now discovered a total of 59 elements in the human body, 24 of which are traditionally called "essential elements" because we really can't live without them. The rest are mixed bags: some are clearly beneficial; some may be beneficial, but it is uncertain in what ways they are beneficial; others are neither harmful nor beneficial and are optional.
Only a very few elements are outright bad, such as cadmium, which makes up 0.1% of your body weight, but is seriously toxic. It enters plants through the soil, and we take it in when we eat them, but our bodies don't need it at all.
Overall, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry, the cost of constructing a new Benedict Cumberbatch would be £96,546.79, which is a very accurate quote. Although labor and VAT will further increase the cost, getting a Benedict Cumberbatch for less than £200,000 should be a very reasonable price - which, all things considered, can't be a lot of money!
