Earth’s “core” is another scam, laying ground for unlimited extortion of public funds for “research”, just like “space”, “Moon”, “Sun”, “Solar system”, etc.

So far, there is zero evidence for the existence of the “core”. Even its concept is still a fantasy. A theory, at best, if you will. It’s just another mental pulp trying to “explain” basic physical phenomena.

For comparison:

The alleged radius of the alleged “globe” Earth is about 6,378 km (3,963 mi).

The deepest borehole - an actual drilling from the surface into the depth of the ground - completed so far is Kola Superdeep Borehole SG-3. It reached 12,262 metres (7.619 mi) in 1989.

In other words, we have drilled 12.3 km / 6,378 km = 0.00193 of the alleged radius - 0.19%. About 1/500 of the alleged radius of the Earth.

The drilling of these 12.3 km took 19 years - can you imagine?

Why has the drilling stopped? Officially, due to lack of funding. Really? Exactly the same reason why we will not go to the Moon “again” - no money. Looks repetitive. Where major scientific ventures are under way, they reach a certain stage and stop for good. Is it because after some years of scamming the public won’t fall for it any more? The internet changed everything, and detecting and disclosing deceit is now extremely easy, especially in the natural sciences, where facts are based on facts.

Back to the drilling. We have reached 0.19% of the Earth’s alleged radius - in a single spot, with extremely low-quality samples, completely unverifiable. Coming up with a theory of a “core” somewhere deep there, 500 times deeper, is a great courage (or a quest for more funding).

Consequently, all theories related to the “core” are of the same value as global warming, dwindling of oil reserves, extreme effectiveness of solar or wind energy, and so on.

But... you can take it seriously. We have always needed myths to escape our daily reality. The so called scientists are all too happy to provide us with such myths. As someone once said about a huge 4-letter agency: “60 years of space research: taking us on a journey to nowhere”. All paid from your taxes. We could be billionaires (if not for these wasted taxes), but apparently we prefer to be poor and believe in myths.

There are two types of global warming...man made which is fake and natural which is real. Humanity is much better off with a little warming than a little cooling. We have had warmer periods quite survivable, but I wouldn't want to live during an ice age.
