the center of the Earth is aglow

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Apparently the center of the Earth is a super-dense ball of solid iron at six thousand degrees. If memory serves, that's about the same temperature as the surface of the Sun. Does that mean that there's a great deal of light being emited by the solid iron core into the surrounding iron molton .. hmm, what to do you call the sleeve of the core of a planet .. anyway, I guess it must be pretty bright?

rand()m quote

You have to choose between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the Government. And, with due respect for these gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the Capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.

—George Bernard Shaw
