I always assumed that something as massive as Jupiter (despite its low density) would be heavy enough that its gravity would crush whatever is at its core into a solid. Is that not the case? Is it possible for some gas to be that heavily condensed and still be gaseous?
An interesting thought about at what temperature(s) matter, even under heavy pressure, becomes a molten superfluid (or something) rather than being compressed into a solid.
