Are diamonds really forever?

Are diamonds really forever?
Can you melt these bad boys?
Liquid diamond, and mold it to new shape, or hell naw?
How are they really form?
Some come from meteorites too..or I think when it hits the earth something happens, and diamonds just poop out, like here..have some.

Heat one then drop it into liquid oxygen and it will dissolve.

Its just Carbon same as you, given eough time and pressure you get a diamond

More likely expode, unless this is fact in which case I bow to knowlage

science class saw a vid of one being burned

Freaking over priced carbon if u ask me.
Lol.

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows:
Pocket-protected scientists built a wall made of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond travelling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall made of metal into 400 miles an hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles an hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused over 10000 wayward planes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with over 10000 buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall travelling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

Correct. They do not melt they burn. Similar to coal they are simply carbon atoms in crystalline form.

Crystalline molecular structure for the pedants out there.

Diamonds are an artificially inflated (in price) luxury item that people are conned into buying and people have no fucking idea that they are not rare or special

Its not the hardest metal anymore, they've found one and made another thats harder

D:

Whaaaat?!.jpeg

I would say its because the time involved in forming and the subsequent blood involved but now they can make them in a lab and nobody really cares about misery when shiny, vapid and love are involved

No, none of this happened. This is retarded. If you build a diamond car and smashed it into a wall, the car would shatter. Diamonds are very hard, b ut very fragile.

Haha. Agreed.

Oops.
Damn phone was acting retarded.

There is a difference between fragile and brittle.
You twat.

>are very hard but very fragile.
Now that's what she said, Sup Forumsro.

Tfw graphene

BUMP

What can crush it up into pieces, and grind it out into power?
Possible, or just nope?

No dude like the supply is actually kept low on purpose. They aren't rare nor super valuable. Maybe giant ones are but the ones you put on the wife's finger ain't REALLY worth shit
