Question about Diamond Creation feats

2,653

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?
 
I think diamonds are technically not created from coal at all, as coal is actually not pure carbon.
That aside, no idea. Some sites say that meteor impacts can form diamonds, so it probably is possible to do it fast. In fact, I'm not even sure how fast it would be in an ideal controlled environment. Some sides say that the time it takes is very uncertain.
