Now all we need is the Sun made of Lava...

>> No.1753538

of course what it really means is that if we ever obtain the means to reach one of these things diamonds will lose all economic value. We'd have access to well over a thousand times more diamond than the Earth's mass.

Nuke, break off part of surface, collect. We'd need some seriously powerful explosions for any part of the diamond to reach escape velocity but it's doable in theory.

If we assume the technology to reach it, we can assume the technology to blow it up. That's always been how mankind rolls.

I didn't know that dead stars had carbon interiors. Is this common?
