Let me paint a picture for you: it’s two in the morning, you’re coming back from a long night at the library, and you walk into your kitchen.
Studying Earth’s core presents a unique challenge for scientists. Obviously, sending a field team to the core is out of the question, so there’s no hope of getting samples and much of the time, it can be hard to observe changes from the surface, especially given that the crust makes up a mere one percent of the total volume of Earth.
If you’re walking around Hoboken this Valentine’s Day, it’s likely you’ll run into a pigeon blocking the sidewalk.
