Meteorite diamonds, which could be 58% harder than ordinary diamonds, have finally been made in the lab. Scientists have created the first sizable meteorite diamond — also known as lonsdaleite or hexagonal diamond — a material predicted to be even harder than the diamonds normally found on Earth.

If Earth is a superorganism that intelligently regulates the conditions for life, humans could be part of its master plan.
