Why doesn't the Earth's core melt the entire planet?

The temperature of our planet's core is comparable to the surface temperature of the Sun, about 6,000°C.

It is only 3,000 kilometers away, but this heat does not reach us. One reason is the layer of solid rocky mantle, which surrounds the core and is an excellent thermal insulator.
But the main reason is the difference between heat and temperature. Simply put, heat is energy. And temperature is the density of that energy, that is, the amount of energy that is put into an object of a certain size.

1/ .@rexsantus wrote a great piece today in .@VICENews about why the most important strikes of time are illegal.

In my recent book #TEMP, I wrote about what #labor can learn from @Uber: power is more important than law.

news.vice.com/en_us/article/…?
2/ #Uber, when it started, was clearly illegal and its expansion smashed through all the regulations. Just like organized labor did in the 1930s. The industrial unions of the 1930s illegal seized property in a #sitdown strike in #Flint.

3/ When the #UAW shut down that one factory—with only a few hundred workers—all of #GM stopped. Production collapsed from 50,000 cars a month to nearly zero. All of its suppliers stopped as well. The largest corporation in America was brought to its knees.
