Watch them screw it up and split the world in half:p

Yeah, that might suck.

Interesting idea though, reminds me a bit of NASA's plans to use a drilling robot to penetrate into a prehistoric ice covered lake. Don't know if they ever carried it out though.

Erm, how exactly is this probe supposed to survive the heat and stupendous pressure?  I mean, think about what water does at depth.  Now imagine superheated molten rock.  A solid diamond globe wouldn't last long in that.

actually, that's where diamonds are created, mind you :p.
to answer to your question, tho, isn't the melted iron supposed to protect it?

The real question is, what kind of equipment can you fit inside, say, a softball that can pick up minor chemical and heat differences through several feet of molten iron?
Webpage. Yes.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Well, obviously. :rolleyes::) But when the probe gets below that depth?

I don't believe so.  The molten iron was there because it is a heavy element and would sink, rather than because it would offer any protection.  Being in a liquid state as such, molten iron would provide no resistance to the crushing pressure.
