Diamonds might not be as rare as we think, especially on Jupiter! The immense pressure and heat within Jupiter are theorized to create a vast ocean of liquid metallic hydrogen. Under these extreme conditions, the free-floating carbon atoms could crystallize into a giant, slushy diamond core.

Q: While directly observing a diamond core on Jupiter is currently impossible, could future advancements in technology allow us to tap into this potential resource treasure trove? Would this change the value and perception of diamonds?
