It always fascinates me the inner core of our planet, after all it is from what we know a swilling mass of hot melting metal and other elements. Which is ever so slowly cooling at a size and scale we find hard to imagine.

Are their events that bring about rapid cooling, or are there mechanisms that maintain or induce the heating, scale of planet and subsequent pressure, or perhaps even cosmic rays impact it are thoughts, but the deeper we look, the more questions we find and still a case of solve less answers than questions and yet to reach that point in which we fully understand it.

Perhaps and very probably, Mars was a thriving ecosystem whilst the earth was still a molten blob of rock. Just the scale of time in the universe well outpaces biological life when talking billions of years.
