The first step to solving this riddle is figuring out what "the most valuable thing the world has ever known" is. It is truth. The second step is finding the clue "inside" truth. If you remove the first and last letters of the word, you get rut. As defined by webster's dictionary; a rut is a "fixed and monotonous routine of thought". It's now 35 seconds past 5:40. Looking at the clock below, one will see how each letter of the alphabet corresponds to one of the twelve numbers on a clock, thus equating R-U-T with 5:40.35. (The hour hand, minute, and second hand, are the first, second and third letters of each word, respectively). A-M-Y happens to be exactly midnight (or noon), thus she "begins the new day". She is looking for "The One", which is Neo from the Matrix. N-E-O is 1:20.10. That is your answer.
