How did they do that? The deepest well we ever drilled in the history of the world does not even gd deep enough to get 10% close to the center.

about 19 terawatts can be attributed to radioactivity.

Now the anti-nuke extremists will be forced to boycott the entire planet.

Hmmm.

Not such a bad idea, after all...

currents that churn liquid iron in the outer core, giving rise to Earth's magnetic field

That is only a surmise. Maybe a hypothesis. Not at all certain. Probably not at all close to reality.

Just think about all the platinoids in iron core. More than enough to pay off the national debt and go to sound species money.

So, miners actually help in cooling the Earth? Why are the environmentalists against miners and oil drilling? Aren't they supposed to be against global warming? ;)

I'd like to see the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory repeat this observation, if it can. There are systematic biases in the KamLAND design that aren't present in the SNO design, although I don't know to what extent they'd affect this particular measurement.

hasn't anyone read verne? everyone knows that in the middle of the earth there's a huge ocean and in the middle there's an island and that's where the dinosaurs still live.
in related news, the reason that atlantis sunk was because they were experimenting with drilling to the earth's core.

Fermilab director Robert R Wilson suggested something like this years ago. He suggested that we could use an artifical source of neutrinos to detect oil and coal deposits within the earth.

Although it might be cost-prohibitive, I wonder if we could also use this technique as a means of exploring the interiors of other planets and moons in the solar system.
