Re: Diamondspace, or "dang, I'm good..."

I could be wrong, but wasn't it hypothesized quite a long time ago that
the center of the large gaseous planets (Saturn, Jupiter, and so on)
are huge diamonds?  If I remember correctly, the theory states that the
heavier gasses (such as carbon) would be pulled to the planets core
where the immense pressure would cause them to form diamonds of
unimaginable size.  Well, not really unimaginable, but about the size
of our planet.
