I think the Earth's core might be a small black hole or Neutron Star.

If the earth is 3-5 Billion years old, possibly older, Its conceivable that the large gravitational field of a old neutron star would attract alot of comets, meteors and other masses through time. It may be the reason we have oceans and an atmosphere compared to no other planets that we have found so far. I know the earths mass itself is enough to give it the gravity that it needs, But the neutron star would also account for some of the weird readings we have had from Antarctica - the random neutrinos and other gammy rays, etc.

If it is a neutron star that is that old, It could conceivably collapse into a black hole. If thats not what is already in the middle of the earth.

Or it could just be a normal planet, Not sure what other implications or doom would result if either of the above postulations are true, but one thing is absolutely for certain here:

The earth is NOT flat. Lol.
