I was reading this article, which seems to suggest that the deepest any man made object can travel into Jupiter is about 430 miles, or about 1% of the distance to it’s center, before it is crushed. Is there a theoretical limit to how far any solid structure in the universe could travel before it is vaporized or liquified?
according to your article tungsten melts at 6100f and has the highest melting point of any element. they say this happens at 2500 miles down.
Fwiw the pressure at the center of jupiter is 650 million psi. that’s about 47 million times more than earth’s surface.
Keeping in mind that we have only been about 12 km deep into earth (Kola Superdeep Borehole). Earth has a radius of 6400 km, so we have been about 0.2% to the center of earth!!!

Whether diamond or not, Juno probe measurements cast a little doubt on whether Jupiter has a consolidated (solid)
