Anonymous: The wall is only as strong as what is supporting it. It would get knocked over, depending on how fast the car is going. Also, carbon is not a metal.
LR: Prettymuch the same thing happens as in most wrecks... damage is done based on factors such as speed, force, mass, etc. Essentially I'm agreeing with 6340.

Anonymous: Carbon comes in three forms: amorphous, graphite, and diamond.
GforceCornell: iirc, If both masses have the same intregrity and are made from the same material they would simply meet at a point and stop. They would not bounce off. But in your case, the car has a point and the wall is flat and judging by the speed lines (and the fact that your moving soo fast your tires are smoking) your probably over 200+ miles and acclerating, your going through the wall

wupme: @GforceCornell Of course they would bounce of. Even diamonds actually bounce. There is no way all that energy would be transfered just into heat. And energy doesnt get lost. The same thing that applys to a rubber ball applys to steel balls and even diamonds. Just in different scales

Flarp: hard=brittle velocity and acceleration also enter into things a bit; or it could turn into Metacolypse. heh. Why is the metal is crystaline form? That would make it also more apt to to being brittle - read: shattering.

MrPerspective: I say none of the two break, so if wall is well built, car will bounce off. Anyway, with identical materials, a massive wall is tougher than a hollow car made of plates. Now, give us a hardest-metal Indiana Jones boulder, THEN we'll talk!

Anonymous: if the car was a solid diamond the wall would just fall, but it isn't and it depends on the speed. i think it would just be a crash.

RiddleMeThis: Diamond is a crystal not a metal. Having said that, it's structure depends upon the valency of the electro-chemical bonds within the structure and they, like everything, will break down depending upon the forces applied. A couple of remaining questions - speed of the car, mass of the car, mass of the wall, inertial friction of the wall. All of these are unanswered variables in deciding what will -

RiddleMeThis: - happen when the diamond car meets the diamond wall. One thing is certain, this is *not* a case of the *irresistable* force meeting the *immoveable* object. Diamond has a finite tensile strength just as all materials do. Pick your questions carefully. There are very clever people on C4C.
NSMAnonymous: @ RiddleMT, You are sort of right, but not entirely. Diamonds are basically coal, same coal as in for example grafite, they just have different atomic bindings.

NSMAnonymous: I didn't find the right word, I ment carbon insted of coal.

Anonymous: diamond is not a metal.carbon is not a metal. simplify the question:take two diamonds of same dimensions and weight and shoot them at each other. what happens? A: depending on their speed, they chip pieces off,break apart or into dust. diamond is hard with strong bonds but not indestructable!
