Side note: I just punched myself in the neck for complaining about Facebook.

The Center of the Earth Is as Hot as the Sun

Crushed by the weight of the thousands of kilometers of liquid iron and sulfur, superheated metal and minerals and cool crustal rock above, the Earth’s core is under immense pressure. Heated from within by friction and by the decay of radioactive material and still shedding heat from the initial formation of the planet 4.5 billion years ago, the planet’s core is blisteringly hot. In new research, scientists studying what the conditions at the core should be like found that the center of the Earth is way hotter than we thought—around 1,800 degrees hotter, putting the temperature at a staggering 10,800 degrees Fahrenheit.

This superheated core, says the BBC, is about as hot as the surface of the Sun.

Scientists know the Earth’s core, a multi-layered structure with a solid iron core spinning in a sea of liquid iron and sulfur, is hot. But, cut off from direct study by all the stuff in between the core and the surface, getting an accurate idea of the core’s properties is a daunting feat.

Led by Simone Anzellini, the French research team did their best bet to reproduce the core’s properties in the lab: they took a bunch of iron and crushed it between two pieces of diamond. Then they shot it with a laser. The apparatus produces massive pressures and superheated temperatures. This let them study how the iron behaved under such intense conditions and gave them a window into the conditions found at the planet’s center.

Knowing how hot the Earth’s core is can add to our understanding all sorts of wonders, from the existence of the planetary magnetic field, to the propagation of seismic waves after an earthquake, to the birth of the Earth itself.

How Bad Is The Flooding In Chicago? The Streets Are Eating Cars [UPDATE]

There are sinkholes on the South side, geysers erupting from storm drains on the North and northwest sides, and water shutting down expressways. We’ve put together a handful of photos gathered via social media of what commuters and homeowners are dealing with this morning.

Continue to ignore our failing infrastructure though, politicians. it’s cool. we’ll just feed poor people to the sink holes in hopes of appeasing them.

woman on the news this morning was like “this should NOT HAPPEN in this neighborhood” over and over again and i knew exactly what she meant

the water mains that area date back to 1915 because nobody has wanted to invest money in black communities in chicago for ALMOST A HUNDRED YEARS

fuck that, fuck this
