What would happen if the Earth's core was highly damaged?

Is this why you want the nuclear bomb? So you can send it down on a mole machine to the centre of the earth?

How do you damage a molten core?

 

I'm afraid you would still need a lot of energy, nothing really critical to pinpoint and shatter.

 

You may have to look elsewhere in your Noble Quest to free the World of all pain

I said, bombing it.

 

So if there's a lot of energy, will it explode?

Maybe nuking it.

I would try this for you, but I don't think I have a big enough microwave.

Could drain the heat off. Shielding would drop and beautiful auroras would result.
