But then how can I say “I love you” to my soulmate without the extra suffering and exploitation of human life the real ones provide?
Maybe the children who will lose their jobs in the mines can now just sell their blood for the rich to sprinkle on their diamonds.
Guys please remember even if they are indistinguishable from real diamonds you still have to pay 100X the price and buy the “real” diamond or they are gonna reject your proposal
Hot take: If a partner rejects you because you didn’t give them an expensive enough engagement gift, they’re not worth marrying.
If they truly love you, they wouldn’t care. If they had the slightest concern for your future together, they would prefer that money go into a savings account or the down payment for a house or literally anything more useful than a ring.
The goal here is to make diamonds for industrial purposes. Most diamonds are produced for tech nowadays.
Yeah, from the article:
The diamonds produced using this method are minuscule, hundreds of thousands of times smaller than those grown with the HPHT method. Hence, these diamonds are far too small for jewelry applications.
However, their use in technological applications, such as drilling or polishing, is a possibility. Due to the low pressure involved in the new method, it might be feasible to significantly scale up diamond synthesis.
However, i bet they are already thinking of getting bigger ones, and might succeed eventually.
likely yeah, but personally I couldn’t care less about jewellery :)
