What's inside the Earth?
Is it full of hard candies? Is it hollow with Atlantis at the core? Is there a liquid iron/ nickel outer core acting like a mechanical magnetic dynamo as it rotates around a solid nickel/ iron core? Is it made from liquid metallic hydrogen? Where do all the electrons come from? What generates the Earth's geomagnetic fields? Are there heavy elements down there, or light elements? Why didn't the Soviets find basalt under the bedrock? Why were there so many fossils down there?
That's a start. Here's an article about the Kola Super Deep Bore Hole.

The Most Boring Story Ever Told
By Alan Bellows • 20 June 2006
Beginning in 1962, the drilling effort was led by the USSR’s Interdepartmental Scientific Council for the Study of the Earth’s Interior and Superdeep Drilling, which spent years preparing for the historic project. It was started in parallel to the Space Race, a period of intense competition between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. The survey to find a suitable drill site was completed in 1965 when project leaders decided to drill on the Kola Peninsula in the north-west portion of the Soviet Union. After five more years of construction and preparations, the drill began to nudge its way into the ground in 1970.
Inside the project’s 200-foot-tall enclosure resides a unique drilling apparatus. Most deep-drilling rigs use a rotating shaft to bore through the ground— using a series of extensions which are incrementally added as the hole grows deeper— but such a method was unworkable with a hole as deep as Kola was planned to be. To overcome this, the Russian researchers devised a solution where only the drill bit at the end of the shaft was rotated. They accomplished this by forcing the pressurized “drilling mud”— the lubricant pumped down the drill shaft— through the specially-designed drill bit to cause it to spin.
Today, the deepest hole ever created by humankind lies beneath the tower enclosing Kola’s drill. A number of boreholes split from the central branch, but the deepest is designated “SG-3,” a hole about nine inches wide which snakes over 12.262 kilometers (7.5 miles) into the Earth’s crust. The drill spent twenty-four years chewing its way to that depth, until its progress was finally halted in 1994, about 2.7 kilometers (1.7 miles) short of its 15,000-meter goal.
The Soviet’s drilling rig was designed such that core samples would be provided along the entire length of the drill shaft, providing researchers on the surface with an intimate look at the composition of the Earth as the drill ventured further downward. Before the superdeep borehole project was undertaken, practitioners of Geology had reached a number of conclusions regarding the Earth’s deep crust based on observations and seismic data. But as is often the case when humans venture into the unknown, Kola illustrated that certainty from a distance is no certainty at all, and a few scientific theories were left in ruin. One scientist was heard to comment, “Every time we drill a hole we find the unexpected. That’s exciting, but disturbing.”
To the surprise of the researchers, they did not find the expected transition from granite to basalt at 3-6 kilometers beneath the surface. Data had long shown that seismic waves travel significantly faster below that depth, and geologists had believed that this was due to a “basement” of basalt. Instead, the difference was discovered to be a change in the rock brought on by intense heat and pressure, or metamorphic rock. Even more surprisingly, this deep rock was found to be saturated in water which filled the cracks. Because free water should not be found at those depths, scientists theorize that the water is comprised of hydrogen and oxygen atoms which were squeezed out of the surrounding rocks due to the incredible pressure. The water was then prevented from rising to the surface because of the layer of impermeable rocks above it.
Another unexpected find was a menagerie of microscopic fossils as deep as 6.7 kilometers below the surface. Twenty-four distinct species of plankton microfossils were found, and they were discovered to have carbon and nitrogen coverings rather than the typical limestone or silica. Despite the harsh environment of heat and pressure, the microscopic remains were remarkably intact.
The Russian researchers were also surprised at how quickly the temperatures rose as the borehole deepened, which is the factor that ultimately halted the project’s progress. Despite the scientists’ efforts to combat the heat by refrigerating the drilling mud before pumping it down, at twelve kilometers the drill began to approach its maximum heat tolerance. At that depth researchers had estimated that they would encounter rocks at 100°C (212°F), but the actual temperature was about 180°C (356°F)— much higher than anticipated. At that level of heat and pressure, the rocks began to act more like a plastic than a solid, and the hole had a tendency to flow closed whenever the drill bit was pulled out for replacement. Forward progress became impossible without some technological breakthroughs and major renovations of the equipment on hand, so drilling stopped on the SG-3 branch. If the hole had reached the initial goal of 15,000 meters, temperatures would have reached a projected 300°C (572°F).
When drilling stopped in 1994, the hole was over seven miles deep (12,262 meters), making it by far the deepest hole ever drilled by humankind. The last of the cores to be plucked from from the borehole were dated to be about 2.7 billion years old, or roughly 21 million times older than Coca Cola. But even at that depth, the Kola project only penetrated into a fraction of the Earth’s continental crust, which ranges from twenty to eighty kilometers thick.
Kola was not the first nor the last attempt at drilling a superdeep borehole, but it has been the most successful so far. In 1957 the United States embarked on a similar project dubbed Project Mohole, but that attempt to drill through the ocean floor was cancelled due to lack of funding. Today, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program seeks to penetrate the much thinner crust of the ocean floor to probe the Earth’s lower crust.
The huge repository of core samples are housed at Zapolyarniy, about 10 kilometers south of the borehole. The Kola Superdeep Borehole was a scientifically useful site until 2008, when the site was abandoned. In Soviet Russia, drill bores you.
Yo SmAsho,
Been thinking about the inside the earth thing.
Let me take a long shot.. A verrrry long shot 😂😂
Is it possible the inner core of the earth could be Plasma? Electrons are shed in the reaction process of the gases in the plasma leaving +ions and could the plasma core be recharged "as such" by cosmic rays???
The molten iron that may surround the plasma core is not magnetically alligned in a liquid state so does not have a magnetic field, maybe this occurs futher from the core where magnetically aligned iron may be cool enough to create a magnetic field.
This is a theory more plausible than the iron /nickel core. Rolf Witzche agrees with you.
I think there's plasma down there on the surface of the condensed matter beneath the 'mantle'. It's a plausible source for Earth's electron belts, as well as the generation of the geomagnetic fields. Remember, seeing plasma in a spherical shape doesn't necessarily mean the sphere is entirely composed of plasma. Magnetic fields are an explanation of why that plasma is there and condensed matter is necessary for said stable magnetic fields.
So the magnetic field could be controlling the shape of the plasma? A ball of plasma ? Or could the plasma be found in random areas below the mantle just like oil and gas deposits above.
I think the shape is influenced by various factors.

Don't get hung up on plasma. If you had a chunk of metallic hydrogen in your hand, it would violently react with all the elements around it. Plasma would form on its surface as it gives electrons freely to whatever wants them. This would also cause the lattice structure of the LMH (liquid metallic hydrogen) to break apart, and release elemental hydrogen when there are too few electrons to support the lattice structure. The plasma would align to the fields (LMH is likely to behave like a super conducting magnet) on the surface, but the LMH underneath is NOT PLASMA. This is a distinction that most cosmologists, including electric universe ones, seem confused by.
When we look at a star, we see a sphere of plasma. That's not proof that 99% of the matter in the universe is plasma. Condensed matter is required for stable magnetic fields. said fields can heat up, and move plasma around. the plasma is not magic, not a magnet, but does pull/ bridge and react with electron streams. Seeing all that plasma on the surface of the stars is only limited insight into their internal structure. The fact is, plasma does not and can not explain the huge magnetic fields associated with stars and galaxies (and planets). The plasma aligns to the fields, it doesn't BECOME the fields. Condensed matter is required for not only the fields but the stellar spectra, faculae, limb brightening, dark sunspots, transverse waves on the chromosphere, and countless other solar features. Electron availability inside the Earth would create an internal molecular factory, and explain deep earth water aquifers, and all those light elements in deep bore holes.
Hopefully that helps and doesn't further muddy the waters.

Ok.. processing that.
I hereby award you 3500 evil genius points for that explanation.😎👌
Ok. I suggest then, the core of the earth is infact a micro sun around 1000-1200 miles in diameter.
Would this explain geo thermal heating increasing with depth, electron emissions, a generated magnetosphere in toroidal form flowing to and from our poles , Similar to the coronal holes we see at the sun's poles. This micro-sun core may react in turn with various emissions from our local yellow dwarf. If I'm stoopid....Please say so.... but this is a super interesting subject and I'm brainstorming (with a limited brain lol).
Will we ever know... those textbooks cutaway diagrams when I was a kid could be total rubbish.
The cogs in my head are turning so fast smAsho...... smoke is infact coming out my ears.
Great question. The internal heat could indeed be generated this way, and a miniature 'Sun' inside the Earth would also explain countless other observations like neutrinos and cosmic rays coming out from Antarctica, Earth's geomagnetism, the electrons in the Van Allen belts, the induction of current by solar wind protons, and more.
One thing I want you to understand is the toroid fields everybody has a raging boner over. I believe all the violent behavior in the universe is associated with POLOIDAL fields and that toroid fields are the leftover matter raining back down via weak forces like gravity. Yes, planets orbit inside toroidal fields. Galactic jets which are capable of firing protons at least tens of millions (likely billions) of light years are running the show. See m87's for a great example. Those jets are likely ~90% protons (hydrogen nuclei), 7% alpha particles (helium nuclei), 2% electrons, and the rest - anything on the periodic chart. Protons get chased by electrons, and these poloidal fields can and DO exchange matter at the Intergalactic scale. The Sun has poloidal jets, SGR A* has them, Earth has them, and in some ways YOU have them.
Don't worry about evil. I've picked a side long ago. My ethics are legit, Bud.
We hope this helps you.
