There is a Diamond ExoPlanet and it’s worth is $26.9 Nonillion.
If we stacked all that money in $50 notes, this would be the outcome. The earth(on the left at the bottom) is used for size comparison.

Diamonds and Coal are both made from pure carbon. A diamond is nothing more than a chunk of coal that did well under pressure.

The legend goes something like this:
Gauss’s teacher wanted to occupy his students by making them add large sets of numbers and told everyone in class to find the sum of 1+2+3+ …. + 100.
And Gauss, who was a young child (age ~ 10) quickly found the sum by just pairing up numbers:
Using this ingenious method used by Gauss allows us to write a generic formula for the sum of first n positive integers as follows:
What if the déjà vu is just your mind accidentally (or purposely) connecting with you in another dimension. What if the all your dreams are actually happening or have happened in another dimension. The Heaven or The Hell could also be a completely different world or universe. Maybe the Geniuses of the past have already figured it out and may have faked death to enter another dimension, a place where their imagination can run wild and there are no restrictions by other humans. Maybe the multiverse has a portal or opening which may be located at a secure/isolated location, away from the rest of the world. If this is true, the time travel theory might be true as well. There might be endless number of universes were there are tiny difference, maybe in one’s attire or the time. Some universe may have already be destroyed by a change in a decision or the catastrophic meteorite might have been tilted a few degrees, hiting another planet. There might also be a universe where the big bang never occurred. The possibilities are endless.

Physicist Create a Fluid With Negative Mass
Physicists from Washington State university have created a liquid with negative mass meaning that when you push it, instead of accelerating in that direction, it accelerates backwards.
Matter can have a negative mass much the same way that particles can be negatively charged. Newton’s second law of motion (F=ma) tells us that mass will accelerate in the direction of the force so we can deduce that matter with a negative mass would do the opposite and accelerate against the force.
To create the conditions for negative mass, Peter Engels and his team started by cooling rubidium atoms to a Bose-Einstein condensate meaning they reached very near absolute 0. The researchers used lasers to trap the atoms in an area less than 100 microns across and allow high energy particles to escape cooling them further. Then to create negative mass, the physicists applied a second set of lasers to change the way atoms spin back and forth. They then removed the first set of lasers causing the rubidium to rush out and appear to hit some sort of invisible wall; behaving as if it had a negative mass.
What’s great about this is the control we have over the negative mass without any other complications. This gives us a new tool we can use to engineer experiments in astrophysics looking at neutron stars, black holes, dark energy and a lot more.
