Question - What is the strongest material in the world?
-------------------------------------------------------------
The answer depends a bit upon what you mean be "strongest". In the
usual sense of the term "strongest" is taken to mean "hardest", in
which case, diamond is the strongest of natural occurring materials.

Hi Anne,

The word "Strongest" needs qualifying. If what you mean is
strongest in compression, then even ordinary concrete is high
on the list.
