In the words of ThunderSt:
1st, this isn't realism toy. This is ment to be fun, not to be realist. For realism go play a sandbox called 'real life'
I don't think he told a lie so much, he was just either misinformed or misunderstood what was being said to him.
your post proves that you little about astronomy and reading all the posts.
at the center of neptune and other gas plants, pressures are high enough to compress elements into liquids and solids... thats why the center of earth is solid iron even though tempatures are of the surface of the sun... intense pressure. (thats also why when you create a lot of pressure in TPT, gas compresses to oil and water vapor compresses into water)
This was stated by someone else eariler.
However, that doesn't mean the said thing being compressed at the center of neptune (or any planet in the solar system) is diamond. its not diamond at all.
You need extreme heat and pressure to create diamond. Although you have the pressure, neptune lacks the heat. There is scientific debate as to if Neptune has a radioactive core, which if true could indeed produce diamond as well as many other elements.
The center of the earth is predicted to actually be hotter than the surface of the sun, super heating or super cooling requires a hell of a lot less energy than fusion.
As to reading all the posts, I read a couple of pages but was not going to read all 5 to simply write that.
Yeah true, I got annoyed at another thread about make tpt more realistic now! Looking back I could of said that differantly

Thats kinda what I just said :P

ok, Thats resonable
Sorry misread your comment, I thought it was all aimed at me...I overlooked the empty line :P. So yeah I just kinda reiterated what you just said.
Oh, so you quoted my phrase here, It had been quoted 3 times then.
Let this die, it has nothing to offer.
one more thing
it was kinda aimed at you, what I basicly said was that pressure can turn things into liquids regardless of heat
