10 billion trillion trillion-carat diamond

Hum,
i think i`ll just wait 5 billion years for our sun to turn into one...

BTW, the astronomers have named the star `Lucy`, er, as in  `lucy in the sky with diamonds` ,(or was that LSD?)








[some ppl haven't heard of the beatles - (not as famous as jesus) ]

Yea, when the kimberly diamond fields were found (1888?) the De-Beers basically had to restrict the supply, otherwise the diamonds would be too cheap to mine....

Hum, i seem to remember the blue colour  comes from cobalt impurities and since the outer electron shell is `empty` i believe that the `hope ` diamond would be able to conduct electrisity...

[Did Bloodline really say that jesus was more famous than the beatles?]



[cobalt = small cave troll]

Hum,
so i didn`t make it up... that`s good.

So now that that`s confirmed, i seem to recall that there was CPU chip designs that used Diamonds , because they could stand greater heat stresses (and heat transfer)...

No doubt when the current batch of pentium and athlon processors come up against that thermal barrier, we may actually see diamonds being used...








UPDATE:
Huh, found a link....
