Looks like that plasma dropped from that heavy line to the surface in around 15 minutes. Kinda looks like 2 earth diameters, ~25k kilometers? x4 = 100,000 km/hr
I don't quite get what plasma is. It wasn't yet a state of matter when I was in school. We only had solid, liquid and gas. And now there's like five? Weird.
You’ve been lied to. All matter is just particles in space, interacting with each other through different forces. Temperature (energy), pressure, volume, and other environmental factors affect which forces are strongest… and the dominance of different forces makes different phases.
Some phases make the classical states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Other phases have more exotic properties, which can be useful, like liquid crystals.
We usually have to keep plasma in small contained chambers here on earth. We never get to see it behave freely like this. So cool... er... the opposite of cool.
of course maybe it's not actually a "piece of plasma" falling, more like conditions between that point and that point warmed/cooled to the point that gas that was already there turned to plasma or vice versa or something like that, I'm not a physicist
It's a bit strange that things scaled up still behaves like on Earth. It doesn't look that big, this could be also some vapour under microscope and yet, dozen of earths.
My fav explanation of F vs C is that F is how you feel. 100°F is so hot, It's like, "damn its so hot, it has got to be like 100 hots." The surface of the sun has to be at least 100 hots.
The Core is mainly just moderate/earthly sci-fi. I don't remember it having any horror. There were deaths but none of them were heart-wrenching (Aaron Eckhart can't fake cry to save his life lol)

Faster than purple rain.
Probably more painful to some than chocolate rain.

Very, very rough estimate from the clock and the Earth size reference: 80 000 km/h, 50 000 mph.

Pretty much same ballpark estimate.

Yup, I'm happy if it's within the order of magnitude. :)

Plasma is a state of matter where the electrons have enough energy to get unbound from the atomic nuclei. Plasma is ionized gas.

Some people are in a state of depression. In that state, it doesn't matter.

Earth to scale is interesting. If the earth is 1 inch in diameter, the sun is 12 feet in diameter.

One of my absolute favorite films. I’d say it’s peak Cillian Murphy except he’s been peaking for like 20 years now.

At no point did anyone in that entire movie say "It's daylight savings time." and it haunts me to this day.

Is this from Sunshine?
amildpsychosis
Yes! Loved that movie
WhiteRhino723
Sunshine and The Core are pretty much sister movies to me. Sunshine had a bit more of a horror twist though. Still, both equally good.
imaginaryPeppers
Is The Core without horror? I love scifi but I don't wish it to be complete nightmarefuel lol
WhiteRhino723
The Core is mainly just moderate/earthly sci-fi. I don't remember it having any horror. There were deaths but none of them were heart-wrenching (Aaron Eckhart can't fake cry to save his life lol)
