RE: A quadrillion tons of diamond
All this would do is destroy diamond prices. They would become useful only for abrasives and bearings.
The diamond in Momma's ring would be worth about the same as rock salt.... :'(
you say that like it's a bad thing.
note: synthetic diamonds anyone?
Artificially grown Diamonds are actually harder than diamonds, so the Mho scale is suffering. They are calling them a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10. They will use them to polish mined diamonds.
:Dthat could come in PRETTY handy.
bearing's come to mind.
Imagine what can be done when the diamond growing technology is mature
Pretty good right now, BUT, if they grew it in Orbit, the crystal lattice would be perfect, and harder I bet. Too many fun things to discuss, LOL!
But I LOVE gemstones! Got most any here already. But no grown Diamonds.
:(I suspect that the potential of micro-gravity manufacturing will be interesting.
Yes, it will be a whole new world! I expect they will make Buckey Balls (Nano carbon spheres) of carbon lattice for the prefect lubricant. The sky is the limit, with only a small pun intended. :)
I'm VERY interested in what can be done with Graphene.
forex...imagine a graphene matrix...with tiny airtight voids through out..full of nothing.
a vacumn.
a lighter than air material that's stronger than steel.
next best thing to anti gravity?
It would be impressive, but I will take the anti gravity! THAT is a toy I do NOT have, so obviously, I Need one, LOL!
:)
