- emecks, on 01/06/2009, -3/+69Good to know that our planet is multi-cored, I'm sure Intel will claim responsibility ;)
- td34, on 01/07/2009, -0/+43I'm willing to bet that 2/3 of the comments will be about processors, so I'll try and save you guys some time by predicting comments.
"Dual Core. Do more."
"I wonder if we can overclock our planet?"
"My computer has 4 cores!"
"Intel Inside LOLOLOLO"
"Intel's biggest ad campaign yet." - shaka999, on 01/06/2009, -0/+41Interesting article but there appears to be no proof of the twin cores and other scientists are skeptical. Pretty much sounds like Sci Fi right now.
- Rapsting, on 01/07/2009, -3/+43Psh, big deal, my computer has FOUR CORES. Take that, Earth.
- ditka354, on 01/07/2009, -1/+27It makes Earth's crust like a giant scrotum.
- sockpuppets, on 01/07/2009, -4/+24Can it run crysis?
- IUAndar, on 01/07/2009, -0/+12And there it is.
- AmyVernon, on 01/06/2009, -0/+12That's part of what makes it sound so cool, though. :-)
- sockpuppets, on 01/07/2009, -2/+13Install CS4 on it, if it runs faster then it's dual core.
- sockpuppets, on 01/07/2009, -0/+11I barely remember the day before yesterday.
- Pruvmerong, on 01/07/2009, -0/+10It's a bit depressing that we know so little about our own planet.
- bakajojo, on 01/07/2009, -0/+10But can your cores move tectonic plates?
- vashth3stampede, on 01/07/2009, -2/+11these comments suck
"my computer has x cores!"
"intel teeheheheee!" (on that note, what about AMD?)
STFU
bury me, but these comments, including mine, are some of the worst that i've read on digg today - saxmaster, on 01/07/2009, -0/+9It's exciting that we're learning so much about our own planet.
- 350Zed, on 01/07/2009, -0/+9"The Core 2: They Fixed the Wrong Core in the First ***** Movie"
Coming to a theater near you in Fall 2009 - ButterBuddha, on 01/07/2009, -3/+10Lamest Comments Ever
- J3EBS, on 01/07/2009, -0/+7And circle gets the square.
- benitojuarez, on 01/07/2009, -1/+7Its filled with chewy nougat
- thechilipepper0, on 01/07/2009, -1/+6Intel® Earth™2 duo
I like the ring of it - jawagas, on 01/07/2009, -1/+6Did you not see Day After Tomorrow good sir?
- saxmaster, on 01/07/2009, -0/+5Please, no!
- brianpeiris, on 01/07/2009, -0/+5I dugg you both up. I'm ambivalent about our own planet.
- kyzel, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4It's a bit depressing to think of ourselves as nothing more than Mother Earth's crabs from her sexy encounter with Thea
- mattyvan, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4the flying spaghetti monster must be responsable
- MeatyVitamin, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4Well executed.
- sockpuppets, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4You and your cores are made of earth. Take that, Rapsting.
- dafragsta, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5So... Atlas had elephantitis?
- Hermmunster, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5There's no proof of it. It is pure conjecture. They've offered zero evidence that this is the case.
- oblique63, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5so does that mean that global warming is kinda like Jock Itch?
- awfulshot, on 01/07/2009, -5/+9In the movie "The Core" what one did they go to?
- inactive, on 01/07/2009, -4/+8Did I hear: "I am jealous and I like to troll on popular diggers because I have no friends and it's the Web so I can hide behind my screen?"
Seriously, if they are your friends, they are more likely to check your submits because a: They added you as a friend because they liked what they saw b: They are your friends and friends help each other out!
Not rocket science, more like social networking 101 ;) - yujie, on 01/07/2009, -2/+5I blame the Mole People for the tectonic activities
- Br3ach, on 01/07/2009, -0/+3Title: Did Earth's Twin Cores Spark Plate Tectonics?
Article: "I seriously doubt that inner core dynamics could play a significant role in moving the tectonic plates."
... - BossKey, on 01/07/2009, -0/+3Whoa...Douglas Adams was right, the Earth really is a big computer...
- inactive, on 01/07/2009, -0/+3What a piece of crap. Can't even run Pong.
- garryw, on 01/07/2009, -0/+3"The ancient collision is a widely accepted phenomenon. But most scientists believe the incredible pressure at the center of the planet would've long since pushed the two cores into each other."
Put a double scoop ice cream in a pressure cooker and come back in 4 billion years. It's the only way to know for sure. - ddawggin, on 01/07/2009, -1/+4This is only a problem if they're from the same phoenix.
- jawagas, on 01/07/2009, -0/+3DuPont and Amazon.com announce funding and technology for liquid cooling to be install by 2012
- davidzilla, on 01/07/2009, -1/+4As a geologist this sounds pretty silly.
I haven't seen any geophysical data to support a "twin core" hypothesis. What we know about the Earth's interior is not as "mysterious" as this article makes it out to be. Believe what you like but take it with a huge grain of salt.
You like this? How about a hollow Earth! See: http://www.hollowplanets.com/journal/Seismic01.asp - saxmaster, on 01/07/2009, -0/+3I think it's important not to lose sight of the sense of wonder that makes science worthwhile. Just the very possibility is enough to spark imagination, and I think it takes a little imagination to enjoy science. As a layman, I like to leave the hard science up to the scientists and just enjoy the interesting and elegant theories they keep coming up with.
- SisyphusFragmnt, on 01/07/2009, -0/+3There are people who seriously think that much material is coming in from outer space?
- scb0825, on 01/07/2009, -0/+3So... what would that make us humans?
- jflaker, on 01/07/2009, -0/+3About 7.83Hz
Earth's resonant frequency. - Rally603, on 01/07/2009, -0/+3Okay, I wasn't expecting that one.
- longbow486, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2If you are going to quote Homer do it right,
Homer: "Oh my God, a triple chambered peanut!!! Marge, Marge come quick! Look what I've done!" - inactive, on 01/07/2009, -1/+3Plate tectonics alone uses too much energy. I find it strange they dismiss the growing Earth theory over Tectonics. The Earth grew, we know that but some how Plate tectonics replaced the growing Earth as if it stopped growing. Why would it do that? It should continue to grow until there is nothing coming in anymore and only stuff going out. If the Earth is growing then Plate tectonics works but not to the extent they would have you believe.
Its easy to prove it is growing, the Atlantic ridge is dead accurate in terms of Carbon date age. The Ridge itslef is only 1 year or so old. The Continental shelves on both sides are the same age. in between is decreasing ages, so its expanding and spreading and, same to with all ocean ridges including the Southern Ocean all the way around. The pacific is the oldest. If this is true then it explains why some parts of land had oceans and now do not. The basins opened up as the planet grew and there is where the water went. If you want to know where all the extra water came from, look up!
I would like to know more about the core theory though, might spend some time reading on it over the next 3 weeks. - jjheath, on 01/08/2009, -0/+2wow. ftw
- joe8pack, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2I think the expanding earth theory is more believable then this crap. Plate tectonics is a great theory, but the whole flat earth thing seemed like a good idea at the time as well. Look at some of the youtube videos neal adam has done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH_5SFHXSzo
Its amazing to see IO change using his modeling techniques. - inactive, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2This just in: "Post-Kardashev Type 3 civilization purposely engineers a life-sustaining world over the process of billions of years, utilizes mass drivers on a planetary scale to magnetize core."
Just kidding, but can you imagine? - stix213, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2You are standing on it. It is part of earth and the moon - all melted together.
