Do they? Maybe I'm blind on that eye.
And Carbon isn't the most stable form of matter at all. It might fuse to heavier elements up to iron. But don't ask for timescale.
Interesting fact, that the most stable grid for carbon is far from being the hardest. Btw can it be proved, that graphite is really the most stable grid for carbon? You have to solve a minimal problem on a multidimensional configuration space. It is usualy hard if not impossible to prove that a local energy minimum found is also the global one.

I just wonder when would I know if I'm still in the garage or already on the highway.
