Planet PSR J1719- 14386 is a planet completely made of diamond. I've wondered what the estimated worth of the planet's material, perhaps you guys know?

Welcome to the forums. IMO one shouldn't ask a technical question if one doesn't want a technical answer. We can't estimate the price of getting there and bringing it back because we don't have the technology to get there and bring diamond and so cannot estimate the cost of its R&D and deployment. Even if you waved all that away and proposed we had some cheap method of bringing chunks of that planet to Earth you're now entering the realm of economic speculation (what is the value of diamond when it is ubiquitous) and the answer is likely to be worthless.CodyParks said:I think he was asking how much it's worth not considering how we will get there and such. You guys are thinking way too much in depth...

I disagree. It doesn't really matter how we get there, how we can sell it, who we will sell it to, etc. He's asking a simple question that is about how much that costs, if you can't figure it out then just say so. He didn't ask a technical question. If he asked how we can get there, then these would be perfect answers.
But I do know what you are saying, Ryan. But I think it just doesn't apply with the question he has.
He asked how much it was worth. Without taking into account all the factors you aren't going to get a decent answer. Simplistically the worth of something is dependent on how desirable it is and how difficult it is to obtain. Without taking into account how to get a planet of diamond and without taking into account the effect of demand such market flooding would have you're not going to get a good answer.CodyParks said:Thank you for the welcoming.

No, this is the wrong answer. It's as flawed as saying "if a spacecraft can accelerate to 0.5C in 1 year then in 20 years it will be traveling at 10x the speed of light". It's the type of answer that ignores a great deal of reality and thus isn't an answer.CodyParks said:That is an answer worth posting.

The estimated worth of a planet made entirely of diamond would depend on several factors such as its size, composition, and accessibility. However, based on current market value, it could be worth trillions or even quadrillions of dollars.
The worth of a diamond planet is determined by its size and quality. The larger and more flawless the diamonds are, the higher the value of the planet. Additionally, factors like market demand and availability can also impact the worth of the planet.
Yes, a diamond planet can be mined for its resources. However, the process would be incredibly challenging and expensive due to the planet's extreme conditions and the value of the diamonds themselves. It would require advanced technology and methods to extract and transport the diamonds from the planet.
While diamonds are relatively common in the universe, a planet made entirely of diamond is considered extremely rare. This is due to the specific conditions required for the formation of a diamond planet, such as immense pressure and high temperatures.
Yes, it is theoretically possible for a planet to be made entirely of diamond. However, it is highly unlikely to occur naturally. Most diamond planets in our universe are thought to be the result of a rare phenomenon where a white dwarf star consumes a nearby diamond-rich planet.
