The correct answer is we don’t know. There are novel (to us, anyway) states of iron, for example, that exist at extreme temperatures and pressures that have led scientists to postulate on the possible existence of a crystalized iron core, within the already solid inner core.
But how liquid is the molten core? (I assume that’s where this poster was going)
