Hi guys. I have a question regarding part of an idea put forward by a certain Belgian grapefruit. According to him, all volcanos on earth erupt at the same time during a pole reversal that happens every 11,500 years. Before I go any further, I'd like to state that I'm well aware this man is wrong and has been shown to be wrong on many points by a lot of others here, but I feel like there are people still very concerned by his claims, so just trying to add another reason he's wrong. My question is this: the liquid core of the earth, as far as I'm aware, was created due to the energy of impacts on earth over millions of years. This molten core is what makes our planet volcanically active. Now, if indeed all volcanos on earth erupted at the same time every 11,500 years, and had been doing so for billions of years, would there even be a molten liquid core left? Wouldn't this planet be covered in dormant volcanos like mars? Wouldn't the loss of all that heat make this planet uninhabitable? Again, this is simply a question, if someone who knows better than I do could tell me if I'm making an accurate assumption here, I'd really appreciate it.
