I'm not the one that expected basalt..... they did based upon their interpretations of the seismic data. You haven't been paying attention....Was it? Why would you expect basalt? Wasn't this land based? Land based crust tends to have a granitic base, not a basaltic one. You need to support this claim with a valid link.

"One of the most surprising findings was the absence of the transition from granite to basalt, which scientists had long expected to exist between three and six kilometers below the surface. Known to geologists as the “Conrad discontinuity,” this transition in rock type was reasoned to exist due to the results of seismic-reflection surveys."
Any more misunderstanding for not paying attention we need to get out of the way?
Said interpretation of that data already shown to be wrong.....Yes, because we can directly observe the velocity of waves traveling through the Earth. I think we are not only following you, we have left you behind.
I supported it long ago in my first post on this subject. You just didn't pay attention then. Cognitive dissonance blinded you to anything you didn't want to see....But you have not supported your first claim at all. What makes you think that they had seismic data that they based their conclusions on? Like I said, we have left you behind.

No, what leads to errors is believing the seismic data pointed to a denser basalt rock, finding out you were wrong, then thinking the same interpretation means denser material deeper.....Nope, that is no logic. That is creationist all or nothing thinking. It almost always leads to errors.
Once again they were shown to be wrong.But once again, they were not shown to be wrong yet. This appears to be your misinterpretation of an article only.

"Also unexpected was a decrease in rock density after the first 14,800 feet. Beyond this point the rock had greater porosity and permeability"
As I said, will continue to ignore the experimental data to hang on to falsified theory....
No, the increased density of the core is based upon more than just that. Of course the seismic data strongly supports the concept. So does basic physics. Items under greater pressure will tend to be denser. Even 'incompressible objects' tend to get denser under pressure. Water for example is about 5% denser at the bottom of the Marianas trench than at the top:

Perhaps you should start by supporting your claim with the claim of basaltic material.
It's based on exactly the seismic data.... and nothing else.... Try learning the basic before arguing a subject you don't understand....
Earth’s Interior | Earth Science
"To learn about Earth’s interior, scientists use energy, recorded by seismographs, to “see” the different layers of the Earth, just like doctors can use an MRI, CT scan, or x-ray to see inside our bodies."
I’m just glad doctors don’t misinterpret MRI, CT scans, or x-rays so miserably wrong.....
Seismographs who's interpretation has already been shown to be wrong by direct experimental data.
If all you are going to do is keep ignoring the empirical data and making false claims then our discussion is at an end....
