Trust Me I'm A Doctor: Series 5
Michael Mosley and his team of doctors return to tackle more questions about our health, offering uncomplicated, trustworthy advice on important medical issues.

Welcome to BBC Earth Science! Here we answer all your curious questions about science in the world around you. If there’s a question you have that we haven’t yet answered let us know in the comments on any of our videos and it could be answered by one of our Earth Science experts.

He shut off the camera - ran home, made some more crystals and was off to make himself a millionaire! 😂

I'm not the smartest person on the earth but I think there should have been more to this film.

Dr stone making us actually go out of our way to watch the process

You can in fact grow diamonds in a lab. And if did it properly. The cost of doing so is not as expensive as what you would sell them for

[HamHamPangPang]

Legend says that the diamond is still growing.

[Wrackey]

so ... where do I go If I want to see the whole thing ?

It's one of those videos you find yourself watching at 3am after surfing YouTube for hours already

An American scientist has already synthesised diamonds in his laboratory and has managed to debunk the 'cut, karat and clarity' arguments of some of the diamond barons such as De Beers a long time ago. There used to exist a full sized documentary too on that subject and this scientist right here on YouTube but it has been erased now. No surprises there about who must have made that happen.

In my 45yrs of living on this big rock flying through space. I don't understand why a diamond cost as much as it does. There are so many diamonds in Africa that they will only allow so many to hit the market. That way the price stays high as possible.
Now gold I can understand 100% why it is expensive as it is. People have pretty much found all of the easy gold to be found. Now they are having to dig such big caters in the ground just to find and extract gold dust.
Let me ask you a question. You are on the big island of Hawaii and you have no money and you need to feed your family and get home. Would you amd your wife sell those precious wedding rings and whatever else you have? For me thats easy. Rings are just rings and my wife and kids are more important than some metal and crystals. Take care and peace out

If only Alchemist had oxy acetylene torches back in the day. They would probably make gold out of thin air. Oh wait... wrong law of equivalent exchange.

[FrumpybutSuperSmart]

Super cool stuff, but it feels like this was only half of a video.

[gaminggamer]

Alright time to make a real life diamond sword

[shadowmacxrempage]

Came here after reading dr stone manga 182

What is the gas mixture? I'm not a chemist but would the diamond growth accelerate if you add slightly more CO2 gas to the mixture? Or would that decrease the temp?

[ChocoLater]

That's like asking if natural fresh water and water created in the lab from oxygen and hydrogen are the same. Of course, they are the same. Diamond formed underground or in the lab has the same chemical structure to it just like water obtained one way or another. The only question is which method is cheaper thus supply and demand comes into play that affects the final price.

Spoiler:





DR stone will teach you how to make a diamond (not really teaching but it will give you chart on what u need and such)

[EqualsThreeable]

Ugh guys, the end of the video is gone, so is the beginning now that I think about it.

[MyselfVlogsPaul]

the fact he’s not wearing safety goggles 🤦‍♂️

[montelthomas]

How much does it cost to build a diamond lab and what equipment will be need to build this specific lab ?

[SadCuh]

If you left in running for a couple months how big would it be
