It's a moot exercise, anyway - A melting core would stop at the centre of the earth - it was only gravity directing it downwards, and once it's at the centre of the earth, there's no direction for it to go.

Blimey! And I though I'd done a serious scientific exercise. I shall have to get my piece of string out again and double-check my antipodes.
