Hollow Earth

[mithrad]

i'm a huge believer of the hollow earth theory.

The British astronomer Edmund Halley, of comet fame, proposed that the earth might consist of several concentric spheres placed inside one another in the manner of a Chinese box puzzle. The two inner shells had diameters comparable to Mars and Venus, while the solid inner core was as big as the planet Mercury. More startling was Halley's proposal that each of these inner spheres might support life. They were supposed to be bathed in perpetual light created by a luminous atmosphere. When there was an unusually bright display of aurora borealis, Halley postulated that it might have been caused by glowing gas escaping from the earth' s interior into our atmosphere.

it's MY PERSONAL blog so sorry if someone finds it naughty..just focus on this specific topic

umm, if it were true then seismology as we know it would be completely wrong. not to mention several branches of physics on wave propogation through solids.

Well what we know about what causes the Auroras completely contradicts this. We know that the auroras are caused by charged particles (form the sun), being channelled by earth's magnetic field, and slamming into the atmosphere.

 

This is backed up by the fact that we can track these charged particles when they are near the Earth and when these increase the Aurora increase too. Experiments have also been able to repeat this situation (in minature) and reproduce the results seen.

 

Theory, observation and experiment all agree that the Aurora is created by charged particles from the sun hitting the Earth's atmosphere.

 

The British astronomer Edmund Halley, of comet fame, proposed that the earth might consist of several concentric spheres placed inside one another in the manner of a Chinese box puzzle. The two inner shells had diameters comparable to Mars and Venus, while the solid inner core was as big as the planet Mercury.

Although Halley might have been a good astronomer, he was no geologist. Observations and theory (experiments are hard to do mind you) disprove Halley's claims.

 

More startling was Halley's proposal that each of these inner spheres might support life.

On what data did he base these claims on? If we, today could not show this, then how, using the technology of Halley's time could he have proven this (and where has all the data gone?). If there was any proof of this, there would be data available.

 

Also if the earth was hollow there would not be enough mass to account for the gravity we experience. I did read your Blog, but if there was a massive object in the earth, this would effect the gravity inside and pull all matter towards it. You would not be able to stand on the inside surface and would fall in towards the Massive Object, and therefore could not be an explanation.

 

Also the tensile strength of all the rock in the outer layer (the crust) would not be good enough to withstand such massive object and the crust would fall in. this would then eliminate any "hollow" in the Earth, which thereby also contradicts the claims.
