Diamonds in space

We think of diamonds as rare gems created in the bowels of the Earth by the compression of coal, so why are there so many diamonds in space?

Diamonds are often found on Earth in vertical shafts called Kimberlite pipes. These are named after the diamond-rich town of Kimberley, South Africa.

Diamonds and black holes

I noticed there was a similarity between these vertical shafts and the bipolar jets in black holes.

Black Holes produce jets at the speed of light

I thought to myself, if I am right and diamonds are created in these energetic jets by the Black Hole Principle then there should be diamonds all over space.

It’s raining diamonds!

Well, sure enough, it rains diamonds on many different planets including Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune. As you may remember water and rain formation is linked to the Black Hole Principle.

There is even a white dwarf star which has a diamond core and there are micro diamonds coming out of stars.

Conclusion

Obviously we need to do some more work on this but it looks like diamonds are created by the Black Hole Principle and the intense pressures and energies in the jets.
