Vaporware and circular reasoning combine to release brain farts as “science.”

The heat of the Earth’s core has to be the result of friction. There isn’t a nuclear reactor buried down there.

There isn’t a nuclear reactor buried down there.

There is U-238, U-235 and Thorium.

There isn’t a nuclear reactor buried down there.

There are, however - I presume - massive quantities of radioactive isotopes of long half-life. Heavy elements, molten and blended together, the heaviest of them predominating 4000 miles down.

No doubt assumptions could be made that would allow the development of a model of conditions there . . .
