I already asked this on Questions and Answers but I decided to post it here again because I'm pretty sure you guys are the science wizes around here.
I think this applies to all diamond creation feats, but I was specifically looking at Nomi no Sukune's feat and I realized something, yes, we do know the pressure at which carbon turns to diamonds (at least in Baki), but we completely ignore the fact that diamonds take 1 to 3 billion years to form under such conditions, so I started wondering, is there a relation between the time it takes and pressure? As in, if I were to increase pressure, would the process be faster? And what's the proportion? Could we say that if I double the pressure, the time required is halved? Can anyone give me an answer with (at least some) scientific backing, be it an experiment, a paper or just good ol' logic?
