Something I don't think anyone has touched on in this thread yet is that the heating and cooling of objects in space doesn't work the same way we, as highly modified fish living on the floor of an ocean of air, take for granted. Heat is transferred in three ways-- conduction, convection, and radia

Hi Elton and All, I've read about the very slow cooling rate of the molten iron in various books but I don't understand why this is so. Why would it take millions of years for just a few drops of degrees? It's hard for me to envision this even accounting for bombardments and radioactive decay
