But isn't there a question begging to be asked. Since when is the Earth's core made of sodium?
Anyway most of the papers that said you could have used this metal to physically model the Earth's core have been withdrawn.
And if you use any iron alloy they lose all magnetic properties when heated to a few hundred degrees C.
No one has ever gone beyond this.
Oh,I know there are great computer simulations out there, but having done some myself I know that the more complex they become the more they resemble warcraft.
