Anything that mimics gravity is an analogy to how I think gravity works.So what?
Without gravity below the sheet the experiment doesn't show anything.
So you honestly believe the core is slowly producing heat through radioactive decay and then slowly releasing it through the crust.Yes.
Wouldn't that make the core and the whole Earth radioactive?
Also if the heat is conducting or radiating then shouldn't it be shooting out of the holes that we dig down deep in the surface?
If you dig deep enough, that's exactly what happens. The excess heat is one of the limiting factors to how deep we can drill with current technology.
This sets up a thermal gradient- the surface is cool, but it gets hotter as you go down.I believe some of the most powerful refrigeration systems in the world provide the air conditioning for gold mines.
obviously faster then its conducting to the surface,
Would you say the heat in the core is backed up? or bottled up by the blanket?
It isn't backed up.

Frankly if all that heat is radiation the earth should explode like a bomb.
the heat is perfectly distributed through the earth.
I'm still yet to find anyone who has an arguement to the question 'name something that doesn't have temperature. It is the single quality that everything that exists has.
the heat is perfectly distributed through the earth.Do you have a citation for that?
Lets just say for the most part it is evenly distributed in the different layers of earth. What is your answer to my question?
So the heavier elements fall through the earth? at what rate?

It is the single quality that everything that exists has.Good Point!I was trying to Imagine a Single Atom drifting in the deep void of Space.What ' Temp ' would it have...Any Thoughts?
Temperature is a bulk property of systems of particles. A single atom doesn't have a temperature.
The core of a nuclei is probably hot from density pressure.
