can you post a link to that info? it sort of dorks with how i understand elementary phisics, its been a while, but i thought i was paying attention.
that might be the case if all the carbon on jupiter wandered to the center, but even so i kinda thought things turned to liquid (mose dense state of matter) as it was compressed. man, i hate it when they release Version 2.0 of the universe just because sales on the first edition were dropping off, and all your knowledge goes out of date.
