At the very teeny tiny itty bitty center there may be a MINIATURE black hole however.

Oh, have faith. Some of us are capable of having intelligent discussion.

BTW.....that last white spot is called Earth. De rest of it be Erf.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Erf, folks report a gentle warming sensation on the soles of their feet and a strange translucence that makes it seem one can see their foot bones right through their shoes.

Darn, I thought a white spot was a restaurant.

temperatures and pressures so extreme

I maintain that the pressure at the center of the earth is zero. Matter there is subject to a uniform force field generated by the uniform distribution of matter around it. When I've discussed this with geology professors on my occasional college visits, they have either been speechless or asked if I would be interested in writing a paper. (I'm not, and my credentials are minimal. I am a non-academic with math degrees.)

A report on a Mitt Romney fundraiser?

The temperature at the centre of the Earth, however, is unknown, but it is thought to be roughly as hot as the surface of the sun.

This doesn't make any sense to me. I'm not a geologist, but if it were that hot, then wouldn't it show that the earth would NOT burn up if it touched the surface of the sun? If it is already enduring such temps, then the sun shouldn't pose a big problem.

This may sound like a dumb question to any geophysicists out there, but if the temperature at the center of the Earth is so darned hot, why isn’t it the same for Mars - or the moon?

I mean, is the heat being produced by gravitational compression, or is there something else at work here?

The pressure at the centre can be calculated accurately from the propagation of Earthquake waves, and it is about three and a half million times atmospheric pressure.

Net gravity is near zero at the center, and low for most of the core. The pressure must be all heat generated.

It has already been documented.
