10 billion trillion trillion-carat diamond

There's this tree outside the window to our apartment, and these squirrels love it. It's so fun to watch them go nuts and play with eachother on it.

Also, the squirrels on my campus rule. They're like pidgeons in that they'll come right up to you. You can see them hanging out on our outside dining tables, or passed out flat on the lid of a garbage can.

The day will come when I will own my own squirrel and call it "Niner".

Take an airsoft gun, and shoot a squirrel that's standing on a branch... watch what happens.

That's quite a generalization. Ancient people developed higher mathematics, navigation, medicine, art, etc. Without them, there would be no modern technology.

Yes, Vet, and those are some of the things that modern science evolved out of. Saying suns were made of gems because both are sparkly leaves a bit to be desired in the field of solid logic though.

[Rayder]

Well... gems aren't sparkly, they just shine when under light.

That would be awsome to somehow get it here, mostly becsaue dimond has the highest tensile strenght of basicaly anyhting and we could do a ton of realy awsome used to be impossible things, like building towers all the way up to space stations with elevatoers and stuff.

And If you had diamond heatsikns in yout computer, it would run very cool.

The reason the dimonds for is becaus the white dwarf is running out of fuel and making heavier and heavier atoms all the time, it basicaly ends of carbon for some reason, and the heavy gravity and heat fore the heavier carbon atoms to the center whare they crystalize to to the high heat and pressure.

It the same thing that makes some scientists predict that there is a massive diamond in teh center of jupiter.

My head just nearly exploded when I tried to invision a diamond society - with diamond towers, diamond fire hydrants, diamond toilets.... I love it.

On the more serious note, Rbstr has a good point - if we did manage to get that diamond into Earth safely, there is so much that we could improve by replacing standard materials with diamonds. Let's someone get on this, mama needs a 1.5 carat piece of loooove.
