Yes, I know. I attempted to search for it, but couldn't find it. SOmeone posted in it today though, and I put the thread into my favorites for future use.

So did I. Then I moved into this house.
This is where we find out that you've been dead for years and cant possibly have posted all this time....
I can see the teen-movie adaptation allready: Fabrus will be played by Hayden Christensen, Charles will be portrayed by Daniel Craig, Shia LeBouf will play young Mars....all of which will, naturally suffer grisly deaths as the paper-thin plot unfolds over 90 minutes.

Oh christ, don't get me started on The Core. As a geologist, that movie really makes me cringe.

I remember some crap scene where they were walking on a slab of rock in the earth's core...and not melting.
If I'm not mistaken, the Earth's interior is made up of molten plastic-like lava, and isn't the center either solid rock, more lava, or pure energy? The ship looked weird too. Like a giant caterpillar if I recall.

Earth's core is theorized to be a Ni-Fe alloy of some sort. And yes its solid. Then you have the outer core, which is fluid rock, then the mantle. All these media are separated by velocity changes in seismic waves traveling through.

I thought the outer core was fluid metal?
Also, they were standing in a geode. A ginormous (wow, that's a real word now? Firefox thinks so) geode several miles in diameter. They were still in the mantle at the time. Which, I would think, would preclude a frakkin' geode forming. They're hollowed out by water, aren't they?
