| Jun 14, 2023 at 2:08 | comment | added | uhoh | @DialFrost as long as you think you have something to add that may be related and/or interesting to either me or any other future reader, just go ahead and post it! :-) For challenging questions like this I usually don't accept an answer for a few weeks at least. | |
| Jun 14, 2023 at 2:06 | comment | added | DialFrost | @uhoh does Jon_Custer's post answer your question? If not, I can add on to it in another post if you would like to [ that is if I can find anything ;) ] | |

| Jun 12, 2023 at 1:26 | comment | added | uhoh | @JonCuster I see what you mean; 0.34 vs 0.74. If there's a significant oxygen/carbon ratio, then maybe the answer gets more interesting? | |
| Jun 12, 2023 at 1:15 | comment | added | Jon Custer | Diamond cubic is fairly unlikely since it is a relatively open crystal structure. Hexagonal or straight fcc are close packed crystals. Diamond is not. | |

| Jun 11, 2023 at 18:46 | comment | added | ProfRob | The density of white dwarf interiors is $>10^3$ times larger than you suggest. | |
