Ping!................
It’s the terror of knowing what this world’s all about.
Here we go
There can be a lot of pressure, in, well, you know where…
Would have been cheaper to just buy from the dollar menu at taco bell if you wanted to experience pressure in uranus,,,
I guess the real trick is whether they can synthesize some novel materials that will actually be stable when returned to normal temperatures and pressures.
Natural Diamonds are created under high temperatures and pressures and remain stable at normal room temps.................
Yes, but those aren’t exactly novel materials with new properties to exploit.
True, but at least it points the way to things that can be tried. Carbon and silicon and other elements that cannot combine under normal circumstances.
I once read that the earths center probably has more metal in a molten state than all the entire surface mining has removed in history....................
They could have just asked Mayor Pete.........................
“Like at the Center of Planet Uranus: How Materials Behave Under Extreme Pressure”
At least the writer knew enough to include the word “Planet” in the headline.
😜👍🤦♂️................................
There is no high pressure at the center of Uranus or any planet. Materials at the center are surrounded by an essentially uniform mass field.

This illustrates why we should send men to explore the center of Uranus.
I believe a certain Cabinet member will be the first to volunteer.
You are mistaken. Your symmetry argument could validly demonstrate that the local gravitational acceleration ( weight of a given mass ) decreases to zero at the center of a planet. However the pressure increases to the center of the planet.
Speaking loosely, the pressure on the volume element is independent of its own weight but rather caused by the weight (mutual attraction forces) of all the materials around it which are transmitted across it.
Citation please!
I don’t know what the pressure in Uranus is like, and I don’t want to know. However when the pressure in my anus becomes dangerously high, I just let it rip. At my age that can be quite risky and embarrassing especially when you lose the ability to differentiate between gas pressure and solid mass.
Actually, if I remember correctly, they are not stable at normal temp and pressure thermodynamically, but chemical kinetics says it will take a very, very long time for those carbon-carbon bonds to break.
