"...a 30 meter BALL of melted iron is gonna weigh MUCH MORE."

Yes. Stevenson’s "modest proposal" is probably some kind of left/liberal satire. Iron at any weight would not even be a candidate for any kind of deep earth shot. A very hard rock would be better.

The most likely object to go to the center of the earth would be a very large meteor traveling toward it from way out in space at a very high rate of speed.

And we know what other kinds of effects that would be likely to have.
