I'm not even that, and I started this thread.

Now now children, no circlejerking over how intelligent you think you are here. We base worth on how many bloodbaths, megaprojects and broken world gens we generate. Or the nobel prize for !!SCIENCE!!. DS, Sphalerite, Girlinhat..Aussie. We will let you know when we accept you as part of our all knowing overlords. ALL HAIL THE !!SCIENTISTS!!
The nobel prize stays in sweden. The McUrist is awarded for ultimate dwarfdom.

I rather investigate something intresting.
I may actually do some more medical science, like specialsurprise. (and hope that toady wont lock it)

I wonder how adamantine would react in atomic collision; theoretically, we will be able to create colliders with the upcoming minecarts.

I think Specialsurprise was locked because of a holocaust joke, not the ‼SCIENCE‼.

I hope the minecarts can dip through a liquid and come out carrying it. So you could use a steel minecart to carry magma up instead of a tedious pump stack.

A magma train like would be quite a potent weapon.

Down to the magma, up the ramp, and out over the invaders!

After reading 26 pages of this thread, I'm honestly shocked at the complete miss of this:

Nanotubes

I'm not well versed in the physics of these things and have little more than a cursory knowledge. I know that they're strong enough AND light enough to support a proposed space elevator (as suggested previously in this thread for adamantine). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotubes (Specifically the Carbon or Inorganic varieties)

In general, I find the assumption that adamantine being an elemental substance laughable. More likely I figure it to be a naturally occurring alloy or mineral with a default crystalline structure. While metallic elements have varying densities (over state, temp), I'm not aware of one that has this wide of a swing. (If I'm misunderstanding the values in the raws, please point out the math. I'm not new here, but I've only recently started digging into the numbers of DF.)

Nanotubes is no explanation. Study of old damascus steel blades has shown that the original art of forging them created nanotubes in the steel.

Nanotubes are nice, but they are not the be all end all. Adamantine would *still* be nigh impossible for the laws of physics to comprehend.

Doesn't exhibit adamantine's properties.

Adamantine has an atomic mass of 26, based on the molar weight. (Iron)

Carbon has an atomic mass of approximately 12.

Adamantine has a volume/mass ratio far exceeding any known configuration of carbon, including nanotubes.

Adamantine has a tensile strength greater than nanotubes.

Adamantine doesn't conduct heat well. (Nanotubes do, as do diamonds. There is a reason diamons are called 'ice', and it doesn't refer to the appearance.)

adamantine can be hammered. Nanotubes? Not so much. They lose their special properties when the tubewalls get crushed.

Adamantine is magma safe. Carbon nanotubes will burn nicely.

.....

Ergo, adamantine is not CNT.
