#2 This is (was, long ago) my academic field, and I am going to have to go read more deeply to understand it. First impressions: 1) never discount anything Lord Kelvin said. 2) gorb would be right... 3) It's probably not 'all' top-down cooling, though bottom-up heating is likely not 'all' right either - never seemed like enough fissionable elements there for radioactive heating, and gravitational sorting would seem to be getting old (though I haven't reviewed the models.)
