Pressure at the center of the Earth?

Please note, the radius of the Earth varies because it is NOT perfect circle. Therefore, the pressure will vary, as there will be a bigger radius at the equator. Using the radius of the earth as 6,356 km the radius thus is 6.356 x 10^6m. Pressure can be determined by the equation P=F/A...

Deconstructing naturalism... is naturalism perfectly coherent?

Your comment is a "first-cause" argument for the existence of an oustide "cause" for the universe. I think philosophers would call it some form of the cosmological and maybe if you stretch it the teleological argument. Here is my current view: THERE ARE NO SENSICAL OR RATIONAL ARGUMENTS FOR...

Sure. Left to our own ends, man would pretty much kill everything and everyone in our immediate surroundings. We use up all the our resources and fight with each other and don't have any idea what we're doing. But that's just in our nature. Humans are kind like a weed in the garden that needs so...

Is matter completely observable?

Nope, just ask Heisenburg. As to the idea of some form of energy which is not directly observable. That's not a terribly exotic concept. There are aspects of quantum and astrophysics which are not directly observed but are measured through their effects on other aspects of a system. e.g. A...
