The heart of that burned-out star with the no-nonsense name is a sparkling diamond that weighs a staggering 10 billion trillion trillion carats. That's one followed by 34 zeros.

In more considerate terms: yes this was posted before....and it is amazing. In the hands of one person on earth, that thing would make you the next bill gates.

It's ok Oni. I understand the mentality of the internet is to be the first to discover stuff, and if someone else finds it later, they are obviously a slow, dim-witted, dude-yur-getting-a-dell moron who at all costs absolutely must be called out in volatile fashion.

On a side note, O, F, and N are probably the 3rd or 4th set of most abused letter combos on the internet, beaten only by "wtf", "lol", "lmao", and possibly "upyoursdharkbayne". :love:

Indeed. That is why I said if one person. If bill gates gave everyone in america all of his money, equally portioned out, 1000 bucks would be worthless.

last time i say it, its a white dwarf, its not ice cold, its burning hot enough to melt human flesh, not to mention metal, also, the only reason it is a dimond, is because the gravitational pull is so strong, if you were to chip some off, and take it out of that pull, hypotheticaly of course, it would disentergrate. atom by atom no less.
