Is Jupiter Dissolving Its Rocky Core?
sciencehabit writes "Jupiter is the victim of its own success. Sophisticated new calculations indicate that our solar system's largest planet, which weighs more than twice as much as all of the others put together, has destroyed part of its central core. The culprit is the very hydrogen and helium that made Jupiter a gas giant, when the core's gravity attracted these elements as the planet formed. The finding suggests that the most massive extrasolar planets have no cores at all."
get at least a quad core... time for an upgrade haha :)
Never antropomorphize computers, they do not like that
Just need to toss in several hundred thousand black monoliths, and we'll have a new star in the firmament.

Next thing you'll tell me is that a pound of feathers weighs as much of a pound of bricks!
This is not the funny you're looking for.
Clearly DeBeers needs to hire you to lead their next ad campaign, "Diamonds are quite long-lasting relative to other materials, though they will eventually decay".

Pick two.
There is alot of pressure at the core of Jupiter.
That's nothing compared to being the core of Saturn. You scrub and scrub and scrub and nothing gets rid of those rings, and then Neptune comes home and wants his dinner and doesn't understand that you've been working hard all day. 'Get me a beer!' he hollers as he plops his ass down into the big comfy chair and starts watching Wheel of Fortune.
I tell 'ya, being the core of a planet ain't all wine and roses, I tell 'ya.
Jupiter is no longer hard core.
We'll send special ships to the center of the earth with large hydrogen bombs that will restart the rotation of the core itself.
This is all documented here:

You were mistaken. Which is odd, since memory shouldn't be a problem for you

The pound sand doesn't appear to have an entrance.

Never has an apostrophe made me so sad.
NASA does basic science?
Your bar is set...ridiculously high.
Democrats or Republicans. They are both taking us to the same place and they are not afraid of us anymore.
