What it means
The interior is so dense that a photon travels only a tiny distance before being absorbed and re-emitted in a random direction. The result is a drunken stagger rather than a journey, and it takes an enormous number of steps to cover the distance from core to surface. Once free of the surface, the same energy crosses the gap to Earth in eight minutes.
The claim comes from NASA.
