> The total gravitational energy released during Pluto’s accretion is larger than the amount required to heat it up to 250 K (Table 1 above). Radioactive decay releases more than twice as much total energy, but the rate of heat release is much slower. Because differentiation requires melting, all that theory can tell us is that differentiation of Pluto is plausible but not assured. [The Pluto System After New Horizons UAP 2021]
