Most of the people must be taking it as a very simple concept coz obviously the core of earth has a very high that measure approx. 5000-6000 °C. but logically, it’s not extremely high temperature that decides the state of iron (coz iron melts at 1535 ºC) but the high pressure that ranges from 330-360 GPa that renders it hard even in such a high temp. so the new finding really makes me think that how iron manages to remain liquid under such extreme conditions?
