#aro culture is#aro#aromantic#actually aro#actually aromantic#ask#mod axel#aro song rec#aro music rec#... does anyone wanna know a fun science fact about diamonds?#cause i got one#carbon *does not want to be a diamond*#carbon wants to be graphite#graphite is the lowest energy formation of carbon#diamonds require a *lot* of heat and pressure to form because carbon really does not want to be in that state#if any of y'all require learning in math about local minimums versus global minimums#diamonds are a local minimum energy state#while graphite is the global minimum energy state#materials scientists call those the semi-stable and stable forms respectively#if diamond gets enough energy to transform to graphite#it really really wants to do that#so.... because everything is trying to be at the lowest possible energy state#in the lifespan of the universe: diamonds will do everything they can to become graphite#generally speaking if something requires high energy (via temp + pressure typically) to be created#it probably really doesn't want to be that
