I'm currently writing a paper about the exploration of a planet, whose
design is of course left entirely up to me. I would like to know if it's
possible for a planet to have a large ocean comprised of liquid mercury,
and what special materials the core of the planet might need to be made of
in order to create the necessary gravity/conditions for this scenario to
occur.
