Diamonds in the Rough.
After finishing a job in which 1.7 kg of pages have to ensure a pass, it is normal to want to be a landing to go on safari, discover a desert island, or just take a while to play. Lately almost no time at all, but I got a bit to write here, as usual. I missed and less to write and express themselves freely, free from restrictions and censors. But nothing lasts forever, you better use the time and spread some knowledge to the delight of everyone to try to read these lines. The above statement "nothing lasts forever" is something that has always intrigued me. That would mean that everything we know will end someday (Deluxe Salvame included). It is not at all a tragedy, not demoralizing, well, depending how you look. I always thought it was a perfect excuse to try to be a better person and take little time left to me. Surely you will have skipped some smartass on duty (I was the first) that will read the title of the post and think "Ha, diamonds are forever." No, diamonds are not forever and not as glamorous as many believe, we know a little better to see what we can tell.
Who needs diamonds having coffee.
Everyone knows the word Diamond as it is associated. A stone carved, transparent, worth a bundle and often carry women who meet in your life or old ladies type Duchess of Alba. Therein lies the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing that something is. Thank goodness you're here to help.
A diamond is nothing more than a form of carbon Altrópico. That sounds pretty complicated, but nothing further. Form Altrópico is, put it simply, is the ability of certain elements form various chemical structures. For example, our beloved oxygen is able to be in the form of molecular oxygen (O2) or ozone (O3). It is one or the other depends on their chemical structure. Diamonds is the same. Depends on how the carbon atoms together, you get a diamond or not. The funny thing is when you realize that a diamond, whatever, is nothing more than carbon, and there are a lot of carbon. Probably close to you has a bit of carbon in pencil.
The pencil leads (and the holders, who have more charisma) are graphite, which is nothing more than another form of carbon Altrópico. You could say that mine is a diamond in your pen frustrated was half that.
One of the most important characteristics of the diamond is its hardness. This hardness is given by the structure it has. The atmospheric carbon are closely linked to each diamond giving it exceptional hardness (10 on Mohs scale). That's why it requires a lot of industrial diamonds for cutting. Can you imagine a carving knife with a diamond blade?. The hardness of diamonds Carian greatly depending on where they are removed. There is a region in Australia, particularly in New South Wales, where we get the famous diamonds Can-or-Faire (can not be done on them.) These diamonds are so hard, that their size is so complicated that simply use them to cut other diamonds. This hardness is because these diamonds are formed in a single stage, favoring the absence of phase changes (crack formation) accounting weaknesses.
him out of there to see if you can.
And how diamonds originate? Easy, beneath our feet, about 150-200 km deep in the Earth's hand. One of the most amazing things of the world around us is the amount of events that occur simultaneously. Right now there are diamonds formed while your heart pumps blood to your brain to be able to understand that you are reading. So almost to infinity. But back into the bowels of the earth, it is clear that there pressure conditions and temperature has nothing to do with the ones we have here on the surface. Hence the pressure a little high and the temperature is above taitantos thousand degrees. There, the carbon, owing to the pressure, temperature and all the time, is taking shape diamond Altrópico. After a few million years, come to the surface covered by rock occasional volcanic eruption.
basic diagram to understand the planet.
But this is not the only way to produce diamonds. There elsewhere more special, in which after a few seconds you meet the ideal conditions of temperature and pressure to form diamonds. These places are nothing more than the meteorite impact craters. Due to the incredible force of impact, or nanodiamentes are microscopic diamonds. Teoríacamente
is also possible that the core of white dwarfs (a type of star) is a diamond. This would equate to a diamond of a few thousand miles diámentro.
Finally, we, the human genius we have created artificial diamonds. Iluiones not ye. They are not as big or as nice as the natives. Also, almost all artifialmente created diamonds intended for industrial use. This is due to several reasons. The first is that most synthetic diamonds are yellow and not very aesthetic. But the truth is that less than 1% of natural diamonds are like we totally transparent. The remaining impurities brown, red, yellow, etc. The second is that there is so much demand for machinery that needs diamonds to work that there is no other. From tile cutters, to knives, sandpaper through diamond dust. You can also create an artificial nanodiamonds for therapeutic use. Is currently working on a cure for cancer using nanodiamonds. These nanodiamonds would be able to admistrar the drugs cancer in the malignant cells directly. Here you can read something about .
That class was my uncle.
never forget that human beings often do stupid things, is inherent in their nature. And you can see this by simply sitting down to watch as there are people who carry earrings boasts many thousands of euros, or a necklace of many hundred thousands. But can overcome that level of stupidity? The answer is yes. How is it done? With your dead. Sorry if it sounded a bit strong, but it is so. There is a company in Switzerland (based in Spain) that is dedicated to make diamonds from the dead. As basically we are water and carbon, once we die and burn, the ashes that remain are practically carbon. So they take what's left of your beloved family, they put it in a press magic to make diamonds and WHAM!, Is your father or your grandmother in a ring or something, and you can go luciéndolo wherever they go. Moreover, each diamond is unique, because depending on the boron and nitrogen impurities from the ashes, the diamond will be of a different color. Here is the link to prove that you can not lie and stalk troncharos as I read the educated who are saying that they take the dead and I'll put on my finger. And these are just some of the curiosities of diamonds. There are many more, but that I leave to you to be surprised with everything that can be learned with a little curiosity. You could find some blood diamonds for example, and surprise you a bit more about the world around us.
