Earth has 'matter in another dimension', scientists have been confused for 90 years
Matter exists in 4 states solid, liquid, gas and plasma can be a definition that needs rethinking. There is a substance that belongs to the state of suspension between solid and liquid that is making up the heart of the Earth.
According to Science Alert, since the 1930s, scientists have provided indirect evidence that the Earth's core is a solid sphere. Since then, the structure of solid inner core and liquid outer core has been widely accepted.
However, there are also seismic wave data showing that the inner core is very soft. This inconsistency may be due to the fact that the core of our planet is a substance that does not exist on the surface of the earth, which is neither solid nor liquid.
The Earth is composed of many layers, of which the innermost core can be an interesting "metamatter".
That's what research led by Dr. Yu He from the Chinese Academy of Sciences suggests. This work confirms that the Earth's core is a form of superionic "supermatter", a state in which scientists previously existed in water and ice on other planets.
But the supermatter in the Earth's core is completely different, it's made of an alloy of iron with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, monstrously existing in a state of suspension between solid and liquid. That's why seismic data - the main thing scientists rely on to study the world's deep interior - sometimes reflect a solid inner core, other times show it must be fluid like or liquid. soft plastic.
Dr. He and his colleagues used computer simulations to reconstruct how seismic waves travel through the core, thereby determining what the strange seismic waves we've seen actually go through.
The study, just published in Nature, claims that while iron atoms are "solid" in the lattice structure, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules will diffuse through the medium, creating something like a flexible, liquid. This also explains the fact that some surveys show that the inner core of the Earth does not appear to be a uniform mass.
