pgrmdave Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 I thought a white dwarf was composed of mainly iron, while a diamond was carbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infamous Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I thought a white dwarf was composed of mainly iron, while a diamond was carbon. Yes pgrmdave; I was wondering the same thing, sounds a little fantastic to me. If we understand the evolution of stars the carbon would have transmutated long before the white dwarf could have formed. Maybe our information is incorrect about this process?
