Will it be found that there are Nuclear Reactors at Earth's core/mantle by the suspend date, 16 May?

This is a way cool informative question! I remember speculation about this when I was in school. If someone can prove it I'll bet they get a Nobel prize. True "Global Warming".

plug goes where? ;)

Hey Mork, cool question.

The link you provided: http://tinyurl.com/6mtbjh is a link back to this question

Sorry here's the link...

Great Question! Thanks for the link....I'm in, and I'm reading...

thanks for the link, mork!

without the link, i almost wondered aloud "WTF?", but this is another one of those informative questions, regardless of outcome, that i wish we had more of.... and that i wish i could provide more of....KUDOS to skipper... i'll buy the first round!

oops...."Kudos to Mork...i'll buy the first round!" (sorry, mork, looked at bets...new format has me all screwy)

tocm -

New format messed me up, too. Almost made the same mistake.

:(
/me wants Kudos!

I have been alerted that this question should be clarified.

It seems the title of the article I used as a basis of this question (http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080515/full/news.2008.822.html?s=news_rss) is not accurately referring to the true question at hand.

The article refers to the mantle as being a possible source of nuclear activity. As the creator of this question I should have included the mantle as a possible source leading to an outcome of 'yes' in order to accurately pose the question I meant to ask.

Thanks Rogerkni for recognizing this and rightfully flagging this question.

I am going to add the word 'mantle' to the question now.

If anybody's wager was made in error because of this confusion, please let us know.

Apologies,

The question title has now been amended from the Earth's core to the Earth's mantle.

If you feel that this has significantly changed your prediction, feel free to send me an email by flagging this question.

Hi: I'm posting this here rather than clicking "flag for review" because it has become inactive (unclickable)--this is a possible system bug that should be fixed. I've noticed it elsewhere, after I made use of the feature by clicking it. My suggestion was that the words "or mantle" be appended to the question. IOW, both core and mantle should count. (Maybe "far underground" would do instead.) Any sort of concentrated mass or masses of uranium deep beneath our feet would be a major discovery, and we shouldn't split hairs about how deep it or they are located.

@ rogerkni -- unfortunately, a flag can currently only be used once.
After that, you can add a comment here, or by using the "Contact Us" link (located at the bottom of every page), and ask that your message be forwarded to the appropriate category editor.

(I have flagged this question for you, so there ought to be a response shortly.)

Ok thansk rogerkni, I can see that this was the intention of your original flag. Question has been edited to 'core or mantle'
