Earth’s Core

[BluudyManikin777]

How much energy does it take to split it?

Just the Earth's Core?

 

[BluudyManikin777]

Just the Earth's Core?

Yes

 

[Dragonite007]

Well, depend how big is the split in the core, the core has 3550 km, How is the feat?

 

[It_is_i_wyatt]

yeah needs more elaboration

 

[BluudyManikin777]

What if it’s just a statement? What would be the minimum amount of energy necessary to perform it

Just found out splitting Earth requires a little over baseline Planet level amounts of power, and the Earth’s Core’s mass is 32.5% of the Earth’s mass, so splitting just the core would be Small Planet level right?

Probably yes

If you meant splitting it cleanly in half. That would depend on the width of the area of the split.

With things the size of Earth? Nah, you'd need GPE.

Correction: Small Planet level

Fair enough

Yes ik, I said Small Planet level lol. But I mean just the core, not the entire planet

I was talking about this part TBF:

[BluudyManikin777]

Oh

Anyways, since the core is 32.5% of Earth’s mass, would splitting the core require 32.5% percent of the energy needed to split Earth?

Assuming they're moving at the same speed, yes.

But the issue is that you can't split the core in half in the same way you can split a mountain or the planet in half. You can destroy material to its left and right, but unless it effects the mantel you wouldn't move anything.

So is it still 32.5% of the needed energy to split Earth?

Yes, but, my second sentence was to explain how that really doesn't work. You can't push just the core. If the core is split then it's just the energy needed to destroy the area between the two sides.

 

[BluudyManikin777]

Oh alright, thank you!

 

[KLOL506]

Yes, but, my second sentence was to explain how that really doesn't work. You can't push just the core. If the core is split then it's just the energy needed to destroy the area between the two sides.

Would that even work? The inner core is only solid because of that excess pressure. Taking it out would just cause the remainig material to fill that void and form another inner core.

 

[Qawsedf234]

Would that even work?

Not permanently, sinc elite you said they'd just smash together again.
