That's rediculous.

If you have carbon with high temperature and pressure.... guess what you
get
here on earth?

One gets lots of things, diamond being one of the most rare.

That's because it is rare to have HIGH temperature and pressure here on
earth. Sun's temperature cool down from like million degree and one of
first things solidifies is diamond.


Sure it might not be in one piece, but can easily be millions of earth
sized
ones.

I'm not doubting that. I took issue with the ridiculous illustration,
which makes it look like the core is one huge diamond.

Picture look like cut diamond inside, but nature might be much prettier
(like crystals/quarts in earth). And other thing is, to me diamond is
nothing more than slightly shinier glass. You can say it is harder and can
withstand higher temperature, but then I am more interested in computer chip
from silicon.
