Why is China not supportive in making India a permanent member in the UN security council?

  The question is very interesting why China does not support India's inclusion in the UN Security Council or try to include India. There are many reasons behind this. In the region where China and India are located, their borders also meet with each other. Apparently both are super powers. But China is many times bigger power than India. It cannot be compared. Today, China is considered a key country in the world, which has made its mark in every field of life. Although India tries to go ahead in many respects, it does not have the same power as China. China is Pakistan's best friend. If India becomes a member of the UN Security Council, it can start dictating the world in many ways, besides becoming an alarm bell for Pakistan and China. It has happened many times in the past that India has made a mess on the borders of China and Pakistan, which has led to war many times. China never wants an unreliable country to become a member of the Security Council and become a new trou...

What is the history of artificial diamonds?

  The history of synthetic diamonds, also known as lab-grown or lab-created diamonds, dates back to the early 20th century. The first successful synthesis of diamonds in a laboratory setting was achieved by James Ballantyne Hannay, a Scottish chemist, in 1880. However, Hannay's diamonds were tiny and of little practical use. The real breakthrough came much later, during the 20th century, with the development of high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) and later chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques. These techniques allowed scientists to create larger and more economically viable synthetic diamonds. The HPHT method involves replicating the conditions under which natural diamonds are formed deep within the Earth. High pressure (about 725,000 pounds per square inch) and high temperature (about 2,200 degrees Celsius) are applied to carbon source materials, typically graphite, to convert them into diamond crystals. General Electric (GE) was one of the pioneers in developing this met...
