A neutron star is the remnant of a star that was once several times more massive than the Sun. When their nuclear fuel is depleted, they explode as a supernova. The remaining dense core is slightly more massive than the Sun but has a diameter typically no more than 12 miles (20 kilometers).Marking this for support on my theory that the core of the Earth is a neutron star, which went supernova and collapsed to the size mentioned, attracting debris to it and forming the layers around the core up to the mantle and surface of the Earth. It is the 'engine' that generates the heat, keeping the magma hot, and generates the magnetic and electrical fields via interaction with solar energy passing past the Earth from the sun.

Do you think the same goes for the Jovian planets?

A neutron star has a magnetic field of billions of Gs.
One in the core of the earth would absorb the entire planet in short order.

Interesting idea, but a neutron star is more massive than the sun.

The earth is much too light to have a neutron star at its core. By definition neutron stars have the mass of stars, and surface gravities that go with that mass and radius. The earth doesn't have that sort of surface gravity, even given the much larger than a neutron star radius. Thus there is no neutron start at the earth's core. Rather a large ball of nickle-iron.
