¡Hi, CFT!

Arthur C. Clarke in its "2061: Odissey Three" book, at Aknowledgements chapter, did mention of Marvin Ross (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) scientist arguing that sub-Jupiter-sized planets (but with extreme atmospheric conditions) may have diamond cores.

Ref.: Ross, Marvin; "The Ice Shield of Uranus and Neptune: ¿Diamonds in the Sky?," Nature, vol. 292, n. ° 5822, págs. 435-436, 30 de julio de 1981

And more at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/diamond/sky2.html

I've not read following article:

"Prospecting for Diamonds in the Outer Planets," by Warren E. Leary, The New York Times, 10/5/99.

but, ¿are article's authors speculating with direct exploit of such planets?

Sincerely,
Ángel

Astronomers expect our Sun will become a white dwarf when it dies 5 billion years from now. Some two billion years after that, the Sun's ember core will crystallise as well, leaving a giant diamond in the centre of the solar system.

How beautiful. What an end.

TMI participant Bruce Moen also maintains that our beloved home planet has a diamond core. He says he used it (along with other TMI participants of the exlporation program) as a "starting point" to "shoot up" to F27 or further dimensions.

Well, he maintains a lot of things. I don't know how to take in his many postulations. :shock: I leave it open. 8)

Mainstream scientists argue Earth's core is a nuclear fission reactor.
