Why can’t diamonds break car windows as easily as ceramic shards?
In: Physics
It would, assuming it was as large, as heavy, and as generally pointy as a say, a big chunk of a ceramic casing from the outside of a broken spark plug, which is where I assume your question came from. There’s nothing particularly special about ceramic other than weight, hardness, and pointyness.
But shockingly, few people use large hunks of diamond in order to break into cars to steal people’s junk.
