How do we know the gas planets dont have a solid core?

Wouldn’t these giant planets have a solid core. Gravity should pull in all kinds of matter right? Or do they have a solid core and if so wouldnt it be possible for life to erupt there?

Most do have a solid core.

As for life I don’t think anyone knows for sure if it’s impossible for life to arise there but most people would speculate that due to the extreme pressure, temperature, winds, and radiation it would be impossible. However, both life and the universe are constantly surprising us with what they are capable of so I can’t personally rule out life on gas giants completely.
