      It’ll be like that scene in Andor where the empire are talking about mining the core of a planet.

      “extraction can make the planet unstable. There’s a risk the core could collapse”

        sounds like krypton, they mined it till the planet explode from being too unstable.

    Of all the marvelous implications of proof of origin of hotspot plumes, we have to resort to the dumbest greed inducing clickbait headline. What a sad time we live in

      Haha right? It’s literally a paper about core–mantle interaction and they go with “THERES GOLD IN THE CORE!” People really only care about geology when it’s about finding ore deposits or oil. Except kids, kids love geology because rocks are cool. Adults need to be more like kids when it comes to science.
