#5 I don't think the science is currently anywhere near capable of handling this. But basic research always yields useful knowledge, whether in the end its directly applicable to the original question or not. I say spend some grant money, and see what can be learned about planetary core dynamics... just do the experiments elsewhere than Earth. That way we avoid not only the unxpected complications and the legal fallout, but don't accidently end all life as well.

#6 Quick answer is NO! The only manipulation to nature I have ever heard of, is from Jesus Christ see(Mark 4:39) or the LORD himself, see(Ex 19:18; Ps 68:8)!
