What if science teachers, from elementary school onwards, allocate three minutes in each lesson for an important and funny scientific news? The traditional educator will pluck his hair in anger and call for perseverance. However, the news equals many lessons that have an impact on the soul and a change in mentality.
Certainly, modern educational sciences have gone beyond the rigid curriculum, which teachers must adhere to in form and content. We leave this topic to the experts of educational curricula, to suffice with the opinion of the honorable reader on this wonderful news in its inspiration, wonderful in its excitement, provocative and stimulating in sharpening the will and fueling ambition. Through the dreams of alchemy, whose owners have been trying over the centuries to turn petty metals, such as lead, into gold. Contemporaries among them discovered that it is not impossible, but the gold that they will obtain is achieved at a cost hundreds of times higher than the yellow metal available in the market. Alchemy, then, is a harsh hotbed.
Physicists and chemists at the Australian National University, and at the German Research Center in Dresden-Rosendorf, are neither dreaming nor delusional, for a strange idea or scientific flirtation flashed in their minds, which is to turn plastic mineral water bottles into the rarest metal, diamond, And stronger than it. Hey, don’t be in a rush to pile up empty bottles. In consideration of safety, there are conditions that must be created before hoarding diamonds from plastic bottles. The first thing, a temperature of six thousand degrees Celsius, means the equivalent of the surface of our sun. The experiment was to bombard a tiny sheet of plastic with a laser to raise its temperature to that stellar level. The other thing is the pressure of that material at that temperature, equivalent to millions of times the atmospheric pressure, for a period not exceeding a few billionths of a second.
Thus, “quite simply”, our mineral water bottles, plastic, become nano-diamonds. Each diamond is in the “nano” size, i.e. one billionth of a metre. The housewife, who preserves the household wealth, should prepare appropriate boxes for these nanodiamonds. Before we forget the important note: Madam, this is not the job of eyeglasses, as these are things that the eyes do not perceive, and in the words of the ancients: “They are not sold in the market, nor are there on the road.”
Necessary: The astronomical finding: Simulations of temperatures and pressures in Neptune and Uranus suggested the conversion of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in plastic into diamond. Hurry up before stocks run out.
