But how would we feel if this miracle of nature could be copied, atom by atom, in a laboratory in just a few hours? Could any man make diamond, no matter how faithful, ever compare with a natural stone?
Diamonds have always invited fakery, which was often easy to spot. And while the techniques for producing look-a-likes have improved, these diamond simulants are still no closer to being diamonds than a piece of glass. Real man made diamonds are much more difficult to make and nearly impossible to break. Their chemical composition was only discovered in the late 1700s, after pioneering chemist Antoine Lavoisier found a way to burn one. In this lab a real diamond is being heated to over 1500 degrees centigrade. After being dropped into liquid oxygen, the diamond burns completely. All that is left is carbon dioxide gas thus proving that diamonds are nothing but pure carbon. The only pure carbon substance known in Lavoisier's time was graphite, the soft, black material in pencil lead.
Come up with a clever design for a carbon collector / accumulator on top of every home and business in the country.:1orglaugh
When the filter / vacuum thing-o-majigger has become full with capacity, simply remove and replace collection bag. Do Not Discard !
Bring said collection bags to recycling facility - 20 cents per 5lb bag !! :nanner:
