1. Nuclear Planet Ted Raymer and Matt Kinney

2. The Theory J. Marvin Herndon proposed the theory The Earths core is supposedly made up of uranium and is a giant nuclear reactor It would be huge news Nuclear Fission is a natural process Instead of a metal core powering earths magnetic field, the uranium core does

3. The Details Herndon used software that tracks fuel uses Planetary-scale geo-reactor active for 4.5 billion years Reactor could vary in intensity Could account for magnetic field increasing, decreasing and reversing Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune also have reactor cores Could help us better understand the universe if proven true

4. Supporting Evidence According to the dominant core theory, the magnetic field is caused by iron and nickel, not by a natural nuclear reactor Herndon has pushed his theory for eleven years Mostly ignored by established scientists, not even debated There are other more plausible ways to explain what internal reactor supposedly causes
