The universe we live in is empty mainly in terms of matter density. The protons and neutrons that constitute matter are called baryons, and approximately one proton exists in a space of 19.8 square meters. However, when the universe expands rapidly, the cosmic background radiation, known as a photon, is produced, resulting in two billion more photons in a grain of light. Since this light is a microwave, which has low energy and a long wavelength, it cannot be seen by the human eye. Therefore, humans, who only perceive visible light, consider the universe and the night sky to be dark. If there were aliens capable of seeing microwaves, the universe would be shining very brightly. The truth is that nothing has changed, but if the standards shift, it’s an entirely different story. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

However, since money is also a kind of good, it has a relative value that constantly changes. That’s the price. When the price of goods rises, it indicates that the value of money in relation to goods declines. This phenomenon is called INFLATION .

We prefer to exchange currency in transactions because it is a government-guaranteed compulsory means of exchange . The right to exchange anything constitutes compulsory circulation power . However, this is the only value of money. If the price of gold is rising significantly, and you can exchange gold for goods, it becomes a better option for producers of goods to trade in gold instead of money. Originally, the pre-currency...
