Summary
Scientists suggest that Earth's core may have a "buttery" center, indicating a brand-new state of matter. This theory arises from observations of two giant "spots" under Africa and the Pacific, which have puzzled geologists for decades and may explain the conditions that allow life to exist on Earth.
