The price of diamonds just took a precipitous drop.

A diamond is a piece of crap stone in the first place. It’s uniqueness is that it comes from 1 area of the planet and is controlled by one family. “Contrived scarcity”

liquid hydrogen, which can only exist under tremendous pressuresNot so.

Of course this is all theory...
To: Red Badger
The pressure would force diamond to be many times denser than those on earth, and once exposed to normal pressures would probably explode. So not only forever beyond our reach, but completely useless. Nice to imagine, though.
To: 17th Miss Regt
Liquid metallic hydrogen is probably what the article meant. We still can't produce the pressure necessary to duplicate it on Earth.

That’s going to need quite a large setting.

I think Isaac Asimov speculated a diamond core in a book of his from either the late 50s or 1960s.

So where does all this carbon come from?
Why would it all meet at Jupiter's center?

Indeed.. that’s a LOT of carbon.
Like, an unimaginable number. And for that carbon to be in one form ? Highly unlikely.

I’ve read that Saturn’s moon Titan has more oil and gas thousands of times more than all of the reserves on Earth combined.

Excess US emissions, silly.
