Hi Everyone,

 

I read that C60 or buckminsterfullerene is the hardest substance known to man. I'de like to ask the following-

 

Is this accurate?

 

Could there be something else discovered or invented that would be harder?

 

I’m sorry for my layman language and thank you for your help with this.
