Anonymous Coward User ID: 849651 United States 07/09/2010 07:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Holy shit,how would you even stop it ? Quoting: Douglass FirYou don't stop it, it disintegrates into mere atoms, and some of the atoms merge and form heavier elements (heavier than carbon) which also releases an incredible amount of energy and subatomic particles which zing off at great speed. That's the point, to fire stuff into other stuff so powerfully that the atoms themselves fuse. Of course it's a lot more complicated than that but that's the short version. I would imagine that the diamond is being used because it has the property of making nice, hard edges and you will eventually get a more or less atom-on-atom collision. I really have no idea and will have to learn more to say for sure. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1030427 Ireland 07/09/2010 08:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now that's just plain cool. I heard once that diamonds are actually one of the most abundant resources on the planet, the price/supply is artificially manipulated. Quoting: AdamTWe can actually make them ourselves for a very low cost. The diamond market is totally manipulated. Debeers et al have a lot to answer for. |
