Tenebrae Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3492919.stm Just thought you jokers might be amused by a super diamond... it's also vaguely related to sci-fi. Arthur C. Clarke had postulated in 2061 that there was a big ol' diamond at the core of Jupiter - though, I believe that the current theory is that it would actually be metallic hydrogen. It's pretty amusing that such vast quantities could exist where we consider them to be so rare. Only 50 light years away too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slug Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 It'll be great when we finally get there, we can probably trade bits of the ex-star for weapons with whatever impoverished factions of extra terrestrials happen to have jurastiction in the area.

Megalith Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 lol cool had to check out this thread kinda like ego surfing :P I remember watching an original twilight zone story many moons ago kinda related to this where gold was the thing, these people did a gold robbery and all killed each other, then in the distant future they find the cave that the story took place in and couldn't understand it cuz gold was worthless to these future citizens lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
