The pressure at the center of the earth is just about zero. The geologists are smoking dope again.

I thought the pressure at the center of the earth is around a million times atmospheric. Are you confusing pressure with gravity?

I'm not confusing anything. Pressure is force (applied over some area). Where do you think the force comes from, PV=nrT?
