hypothesizing. Professor Paul Kreuger, speaking about the mass of Jupiters diamond core, says, This is ten billion times that of Mount Zeus. Most of this diamond core was probably destroyed in the detonation of Jupiter and the formation of Lucifer, a miniature sun. The undestroyed pieces were shot into orbit, or in the case of Mount Zeus, shot into a surrounding satellite. If these diamonds were to be collected there would be a global, or even universal effect. Diamond prices would collapse completely due to a huge over-supply. Not only would many diamond-selling businesses go bankrupt, but there would also be an endless array of political and economic ramifications. Although this is a great risk, the rewards may be even greater. Its availability in megaton quantities could totally transform many industries and create wholly new ones, Kreuger stated, referring to the Jovian diamonds. These diamonds could be the key to revolutionizing exploration.The diamond mountains now orbiting among the satellites of Jupiter may open up the entire Solar System; how trivial, by comparison, appear all the ancient uses of the quartic-crystallized form of carbon! The collection of the diamonds would hamper political and economic stability. However, it would also lead us to a greater knowledge of our surroundings. This leads me to a final question. What should a society value more: exploration and acquiring of knowledge or complete political and economic stability?...
