Mine uses fused quartz. It didn't break. GRAMMER!!! Misspelling "grammar" when hectoring others about syntax should be a ban.

I'm pretty sure the Brits still spell it Grammer, while most people in the US spell it Grammar.

I wonder if this laser/molten gold coolant is actually realistic or not... Q has confirmed that gold's spectral data is incomplete, and the lasers in CDE are solid-state rather than metal-vapour devices, so it most likely is unrealistic.

It's never been spelt "grammer": It's never INTENDED to have been spelt Grammer, but the Brits I know (including a few Scottsman), and many Americans still do it anyways, since they hate their own language. Apparently the reason it doesn't come as a flag for spell check is because, apparently Grammer is supposed to be a proper noun for a German family name.

Misspelling "grammar" when hectoring others about syntax should be a ban. I thought it was a humorous way to point it out, the joke working both as an emphasis on the exaggerated overreaction (in addition to the all caps, as if he was so angry he couldn't spell correctly, with uncontrollable facial twitches and a frothing mouth) and as self-depreciating humour to indicate that it is an exaggerated overreaction in the first place. About diamond, does it take into account its decomposition into graphite if temperature is too high compared to pressure? Also, would any of those lasers be impossible because of reaction between the chamber and its diamond wall?

you've got Xenon (noble gas) and Hydrogen^2, those are not particularly reactive. anyway its not like you have F2O2 (dioxygen diflouride or FOOF) or F3O (oxygen tri-flouride)

Is molten tin available, though? I don't use these materials, but as far as I've heard its data is much more complete than gold, yes.

First result for me is www.quora.com/Why-do-diamonds-turn-into-graphiteNotable quotes include "Diamonds are thermodynamically metastable on the surface of Earth, but because of low temperature, kinetics of phase transition is extremally slow." and "However, it is theoretically possible. [...] it will take either an extremely long time, OR high pressure and temperature. Maybe even laser." There is however a complete lack of data of behaviour at extreme temps as far as I can tell
