That is a good idea. You are welcome to venture into this idea further. I am getting ready to go to work right now. I have found a few theories but all are just that, theories.
This was a interesting read...
gravityfound.org...
Why is the temperature hotter the farther down you go in the earth? Is it because of the gravitational pressure? Kind of. The Earth is hot for several reasons. Primarily, it is because of the energy left over from its formation, as all that gravitational potential energy was converted to kinetic and converted to heat (i.e., giant rocks crashing into one another). There is also leftover heat from friction as the Earth's heavier elements sink to the core and lighter elements rise. Plus, as you say, the pressure heating everything up as it compresses. None of these are a continual sources of heat, though, and in fact the Earth is gradually cooling off as it radiates infrared out into space. This is the main reason it's hotter the farther down you go. The outside cools first, and insulates the parts farther down.

So what age is your boy ? If I may ask? I find this very interesting and think the boys age is significant. For a better idea of what you have going on there.

Thanks for the info.
I guess what Im wondering is if the Sun has ways that can effect the temperature of the Earths core. If there are some sort of particles or waves that can change the way our core behaves.
I know Ive heard about particles that have the ability to go right through the Earth, humans, ect...and I wonder if something 'changes' on the Sun...if the particles it sends to us may be changed, and then changing the reaction of our core.
Something like that.
Well Id say your son has a very interesting theory,.

Thank you for sharing!
My son is one of those that has trouble in the normal school system. The diagnosis...was ADD. He has trouble focusing on one thing unless he is extremely interested in one thing....like a video game (no one can beat him at any of them and he can usually win any game in a day).
Instead of using medication...there is a school academy here in my town that is set up for kids that have trouble staying on one task. He excels there with grades but fails in the normal school system. Its like he has to learn things a certain way or something or he just cant stay focused enough. But give him a math problem or something to figure out and he does wonders. Go figure. Ive always wondered why he had so much trouble focusing...but at some things...his understanding is great. The teachers would get upset for his normal grades were always bad but when they did SAT and exams....he would do above average on all subjects.

No there isnt anything from the sun to warm the core. However the moon does help some with gravity helps keep those fluids moving. This is one theory as to why the earth hasnt gone dormant like mars. However getting hotter ill say there is nothing in our current understanding that would make the core heat up. And even if the core where getting hotter means the earths crust would get thinner making strong earthquakes less likely. Earthquakes are when 2 plates press together until one gives in. A thinner crust means less force builds up.

Finally someone spoke the truth, they taking away the oil luberication out of the system, every thing has a reason
I've heard this mentioned before, does anyone have any proof that the earth's oil actually "lubricates" tectonic plates the way we use it to lube mechanisms? Never read anything legitimate about it

Thank you for your advice Drummerboy. We have been through alot of trial and errors. Diet has become a big part of it all. Reading labels carefully and trying to stay as much as possible with natural foods.
I have concluded after observing him struggle in the classroom setting for years now but watching him pass SAT and exams at above average...that its not so much an ability...but the atmosphere that is offered in the classroom. For him to sit still for 7-8 hours 5 days a week causes his mind to drift. The mind (his mind) cant sit still that long. He does not learn well in a lecture environment...but give him a book and he can figure it out. I think we are seeing more kids having the personality types that need exercise during the day or some sort of hands on activity besides sitting at a desk.
I think the label of ADD is a bit false...but we do need some way to 'notice' that we have a group of kids that dont 'work' well in the regular school setting'. He attends what is called 'score academy' and they strictly direct themselves to finding what kind of learning system works for each student and focus on that for each of them. He has only been there for 2 months now. He went from failing 2 classes in regular school to having a B in one of those classes to having a high C in the other. By the time school is done this year, Im seeing him have a A and B year, which will be a first ever for him....even though he has always been above average on yearly testing.
Its interesting...to see how we all learn in different ways.

P.S. Light beings have a ball of light where we humans think the "solar plexus" is, he could have communicated by your son, and that would look like there is a "beam" of light (in the colour of the being) shooting to his forehead, or he could have "energized" your sons well "ball" for lack of better word, and thats a different story completly...
YOUR SON IS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH; TAKE GOOD GOOD CARE OF YOUR SON, NEVER FORCE ANYTHING ON HIM, AND ALLWAYS GET HIM WELL INFORMED ABOUT A SUBJECT HE IS GOING TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT, SUCH AS RELIGION ETC ETC...
(light beings (not angels) are mentioned in EVERY religion by one name or another, even the bible)

It's quite obvious though earlier you had stated this kid had not seen the movie 2012 that indeed he is clearly referencing the movies fictional storyline, yet you choose to believe instead that your child is a gifted psychic who prophesies the end of the Earth while watching (gloom and doom) news broadcast of one the most tragic events in human history. So we can choose to believe your prepubescent offspring, or every Physicist around that all agree that our planetary core cools over millennia, not heats up.
It truly is telling, and pathetic, how quickly people are willing to believe anything that anyone without any qualifications on a subject whatsoever belches out, just so that they can "feel" and delude themselves that they "know" something and are more enlightened somehow than everyone else.
I'm sure more than half the posters in here believe the moon is made of cheese.edit on 20-3-2011 by Liberterius because: typo, very unlike of me.edit on 20-3-2011 by Liberterius because: (no reason given)

Your kid may or may not have seen the movie 2012, but I'm sure some of his friends have. Kids at that age are very impressionable, so if someone from school talked about the earth's core heating up, he may have decided that it sounds right and then voiced this opinion to you.
