Hollow Earth Theory Information

the Hollow Earth hypothesis proposes that the planet Earth either is entirely Hollow or otherwise contains a substantial interior space the scientific community has dismissed the notion since at least the late 18th century the concept of a Hollow Earth recurs many times in folklore and as the premise for subterranean fiction a sub-genre of adventure fiction it is also featured in some present a pseudo scientific and conspiracy theories hypothesis ancient history in ancient times the concept of a subterranean land inside the earth appeared in mythology folklore and legends the idea of subterranean realms seemed arguable and became intertwined with the concept of places of origin or afterlife such as the Greek underworld the Nordic spot over hime the Christian hell and the Jewish she all the idea of a subterranean realm is also mentioned in the Tibetan Buddhism belief according to one story there is an ancient city called Shambhala which is located inside the earth according to the ancient Greeks there were caverns under the surface which were entrances leading to the underworld some of which were the caverns of Dana Ron and Laconia at Trojan and Argolis at f.viia enthis prosze at heraclea and pontiff's and an airman Oni in Thracians conditions legend has said that there are underground chambers occupied by an ancient god called zalmoxis in Mesopotamian religion there is a story of a man who after travelling through the darkness of a tunnel in the mountain of ma shoe entered a subterranean Garden in Celtic mythology there is a legend of a cave called Cotchin also known as Ireland's gate to hell a legendary in ancient cave from which according to legend strange creatures would emerge in ancient times and be seen on the surface of the earth there are also stories of medieval knights and saints who went on pilgrimages to a cave located in Station Island County dong dong in Ireland where they made journeys inside the earth into a place of purgatory there is an Irish myth which says tunnels and County down northern ireland lead to the land of the subterranean - offered a donna a group of people who are believed to have introduced Druidism to ireland and then went back underground ancient legend of the ungawa naga tribes of india claim their ancestors emerged in ancient times from a subterranean land inside the earth there are legends from the Taino people that their ancestors emerged in ancient times from two caves in a mountain underground it is the belief of the natives of the Mennella now skis Trobriand islands that their ancestors had come from a subterranean land through a cavern hole called a Bakula there's an ancient legend held in Mexican folklore that a cave in a mountain five miles south of Ojinaga Mexico is possessed by devilish creatures who came from inside the earth there was an ancient myth held in the Middle Ages that some mountains located between eisenach and Gotha and in Germany hold a portal to the Inner Earth there is an old Russian legend that says the Soviets an ancient Siberian tribe traveled to an underground cavern city to live inside the earth in Native American mythology it is said that the ancestors of the Mandan people in ancient times emerged from a subterranean land through a cave at the north side of the Missouri River there is also a tale about a tunnel in the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona near Cedar Creek which is said to lead inside the earth to a land inhabited by a mysterious tribe it is also the belief of the tribes of the Iroquois that their ancient ancestors emerged from a subterranean world inside the earth the elders of the Hopi people believe that a Sipapu entrance and the Grand Canyon exists which leads to the underworld according to South American mythology the belief of the Brazilian Indians who live alongside the perimeter in Brazil claimed that their forefathers emerged in ancient times from an underground land and that many of their ancestors still remained inside the earth there are also legends that say the ancestors of the Inca Empire came from underground caves which are located east of Cusco Peru 17th and 18th centuries Edmund Halley in 1692 put forth the idea of Earth consisting of a hollow shell about 800 kilometers or 500 miles thick to inner concentric shells and an innermost core about the diameters of the planets Venus Mars and Mercury atmospheres separate these shells and each show has its own magnetic poles the spheres rotate at different speeds Halley proposed the scheme in order to explain anomalous compass readings he envisioned the atmosphere inside as luminous and possibly inhabited and speculated that escaping gas caused the aurora borealis de Kaap and ley have claimed in their lands beyond that Leonard Euler also proposed a Hollow Earth idea getting rid of multiple shells and postulating an interior Sun 1000 kilometers or 620 miles across to provide light to advanced Inner Earth civilization but they provide no references indeed Euler did not propose a Hollow Earth but there is a slightly related thought experiment the comp inlay also claimed that Sir John Leslie expanded on Euler's idea suggesting two central sons named Pluto and Proserpine this was unrelated to the dwarf planet Pluto which was discovered and named sometime later Leslie did propose a hollow earth in his 1829 elements of natural philosophy but does not mention interior Suns Leclerc mill for in 1781 led a journey with hundreds of creeks Indian Indians to a series of caverns near the Red River above the junction of the Mississippi River according to mill for the original Creek Indian ancestors are believed to have emerged to the surface of the earth in ancient times from the caverns mill for also claimed the caverns they saw could easily contain 15,000 to 20,000 families 19th century in 1818 John Cleves Symmes Jr suggested the earth consisted of a hollow shell about 13 kilometers or 810 miles thick with openings about 2,300 kilometers or 1,400 miles across at both poles with four inner shells each open at the poles Simons became the most famous of the early Hollow Earth proponents he proposed making an expedition to the North Pole hole thanks to efforts of one of his followers James McBride the United States President John Quincy Adams indicated he would approve of this but he left office before this could occur the new President of the United States and rejection halted the attempt jeremiah reynolds also delivered lectures on the Hollow Earth and argued for an expedition Reynolds went on an expedition to Antarctica himself but missed joining the great US exploring expedition of 1838 to 1842 even though that venture was a result of his agitation those Symes himself never wrote a book about his ideas several authors published work discussing his ideas mcbride wrote Symes the theory of concentric spheres in 1826 it appears that Reynolds has an article that appeared as a separate booklet in 1827 remarks of Sciences theory which appeared in the American quarterly review in 1868 a professor WF Lyons published the Hollow globe which put forth a Symes like Hollow Earth hypotheses but failed to mention science himself SAMHSA's son Americus then published the sciences theory of concentric spheres in 1878 to set the record straight joining a century an early 20th century proponents of Hollow Earth William Reid wrote phantom of the poles in 1906 he supported the idea of the Hollow Earth but without interior shells or inner Sun the spiritualist writer Walburga lady Padgett in her book colloquies with an unseen friend 1907 was an early writer to mention the Hollow Earth theory she claimed that cities exist beneath the desert which is where the people of Atlantis move she said an entrance to the subterranean kingdom will be discovered in the 21st century William Fairfield warned in his book paradise found the cradle of the human race at the North Pole presented his belief that humanity originated on a continent in the Arctic called hyperborea this influenced some early Hollow Earth theorists according to Marshall Gardner both the Eskimo and Mongolian peoples had come from the interior of the earth by an entrance at the North Pole Marshall Gardner wrote a journey to the Earth's interior in 1913 and published an expanded edition in 1920 he placed an interior son in the earth and built a working model of the Hollow Earth which patented US patent one-million 96,000 102 gartner made no mention of read but did criticize science for his ideas about the same time Vladimir a brute chef wrote a novel plutonium in which the Hollow Earth possessed an inner Sun and was inhabited by prehistoric species the interior was connected with the surface by an opening in the arctic explorer Ferdinand o Sandusky wrote a book in 1922 titled beasts men and gods o Sandusky said he was told about a subterranean kingdom that exists inside the earth it was known to Buddhists as a hearty Gorge pop Shipley and his anything-can-happen 1940 claim the discovery in the caucasus mountains of a cavern containing human skeletons with heads as big as bushel baskets and an ancient tunnel leading to the center of the earth one man entered the tunnel and never returned novelist Lobsang rampa in his book the cave of the Ancients said an underground chamber system exists between the Himalayas of Tibet filled with ancient machinery records and treasure Michael grumbly a cryptozoologist has linked Bigfoot and other hominid cryptids to ancient tunnel systems underground according to the ancient astronaut writer Peter Colosimo a robot was seen entering a subterranean tunnel below a monastery in Mongolia Colosimo also claimed a light was seen from underground in Azerbaijan Colosimo and other ancient astronaut writers such as robert Touro linked these activities to ufos a book allegedly by dr. raymond bernard which appeared in 1964 the Hollow Earth exemplifies the idea of UFOs coming from inside the earth the book rehashes read and gardener's ideas and ignore science Bernard also adds his own ideas the ring nebula proves the existence of Hollow worlds as well as speculation on the fate of Atlantis and the origin of flying saucers after the u.s. bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Bernard claimed the Atlanteans became concerned that the radioactive air might flow into the world's interior and so some emerged in their flying saucers in an act of self-defense an article by Martin Gardner revealed that dr. Walter Sig Meister used the pseudonym Bernard but not until the publishing of Walter kaftan winkles subterranean world's 100 thousand years of dragons dwarves the dead lost races and UFOs from inside the earth in 1989 did the full story of Bernard sig Meister become well-known the pages of the scientific pulp fiction magazine amazing stories promoted one such idea from 1945 to 1949 as the shaver mystery the magazine's editor Ray Palmer ran a series of stories by Richard sharp shaver supposedly claimed as factual though presented in the context of fiction shaver claimed a superior prehistoric race had built a honeycomb of caves in the earth and there are degenerate descendants known as Darrow live there still using the fantastic machines and Bandhan by the ancient races to torment those of us living on the surface as one characteristic of this torment shaver described voices that purportedly came from no explainable source thousands of readers wrote to affirm that they too had heard the fiendish voices from inside the earth the writers David Hatcher Childress authored lost continents and the Hollow Earth 1998 which he reprinted the stories of Palmer and defended Hollow Earth idea based on alleged tunnel systems beneath South America and Central Asia Hollow Earth theorists have claimed a number of different locations for the entrances which lead inside the earth other than the North and South Poles entrances in locations which have been cited include Paris and France Staffordshire in England Montreal in Canada hang chow in China in the Amazon rainforest fantastic stories supposedly believed as factual within fringe circles have also circulated that Adolf Hitler and some of his followers escaped a hollow lands within the earth after World War Two via and entrance and Antarctica some writers have proposed building mega structures that have some similarities to a Hollow Earth concave hollow Earth's instead of saying that humans live on the outside surface of a hollow planet sometimes called a convex Hollow Earth hypothesis some have claimed that humans live on the inside surface of a hollow spherical world so that our universe itself lies on the world's interior that has been called the concave hollow earth hypothesis Sarah steed a doctor from upstate New York proposed such a concave hollow earth in 1869 calling his scheme cellular cosmogony deed founded a group called the Koresh in unity based on this notion which he called Koresh anity the main colony survives as a preserved Florida State Historic Site at Estero Florida but all of teets followers have now died deeds followers claim to have experimentally verified the concavity of the Earth's curvature through surveys of the Floridian coastline making use of rick delineator equipment several 20th century German writers including Peter bender Johannes Lange Carl Newport and Fritz Braun published works advocating the Hollow hypothesis poor ol vitala it has even been recorded although apparently without historical documentation that Adolf Hitler was influenced by concave hollow earth ideas and sent an expedition in an unsuccessful attempt to spy on the British fleet by pointing infrared cameras up at the sky the Egyptian mathematician Mustafa abu del Kadare wrote several scholarly papers working out a detailed mapping of the concave earth model in one chapter of his book on the wild side' 1992 Martin Gardner discusses the Hollow Earth model articulated by Apple del Kadare according to Gartner this hypothesis posits that light rays travel in circular paths and slow as they approach the center of the spherical star filled cavern no energy can reach the center of the cavern which corresponds to no point a finite distance away from Earth in the widely accepted scientific cosmology a drill Gardner says would lengthen as it travels away from the cavern and eventually passes through the point at infinity corresponding to the center of the earth in the widely accepted scientific cosmology supposedly no experiments can distinguish between the two cosmologies Gardener notes that most mathematicians believe an inside-out universe with probably adjusted physical laws is empirically irrefutable gardener rejects the concave hollow earth hypothesis on the basis of Occam's razor purportedly verifiable hypotheses of a concave hollow earth need to be distinguished from a thought experiment which Divine's a coordinate transformation such the interior of the earth becomes exterior and the exterior becomes interior the transformation entails corresponding changes to the forms of physical laws this is not a hypothesis but an illustration of the fact that any description of the physical world can be equivalently expressed in more than one way contrary evidence seismic the picture of the structure of the earth that has been arrived at through the study of seismic waves is quite different from the Hollow Earth theory the time it takes seismic waves to travel through around the Earth directly contradicts a hollow sphere the evidence indicates that the earth is filled with solid rock mantle and crust liquid nickel iron alloy outer core and solid nickel iron inner core gravity another set of scientific arguments against a Hollow Earth or any hollow planet comes from gravity massive objects tend to clump together gravitationally creating non hollow spherical objects such as stars and planets the solid sphere is the best way in which to minimize the gravitational potential energy of a physical object having hollowness is unfavorable in the energetic sense in addition ordinary matter is not strong enough to support a hollow shape of planetary size against the force of gravity a planet-sized hollow shell with the known observed thickness of the Earth's crust would not be able to achieve hydrostatic equilibrium with its own mass and would collapse someone on the inside of a Hollow Earth would not experience a significant outward Pole and could not easily stand on the inner surface rather the theory of gravity implies that a person on the inside would be nearly weightless that was first shown by Newton whose shell theorem mathematically predicts a gravitational force from the shell of zero everywhere inside a spherically symmetric hollow shell of matter regardless of the shells thickness a tiny gravitational force would arise from the fact that the earth does not have a perfectly symmetrical spherical shape as well as forces from other bodies such as the moon the centrifugal force from the Earth's rotation would pull a person on the inner surface outwards if the person was traveling at the same velocity as the Earth's interior and was in contact with the ground on the interior but even the maximum centrifugal force as the Equator is only 1/3 hundredths of ordinary earth gravity density based upon the size of the earth and the force of gravity on its surface the average density of the planet Earth is five point five one five grams per centimeter cubed yet typical densities of surface rocks are only half that about 2.75 grams per centimeter cubed if any significant portion of the earth was Hollow the average density would be much lower than that of surface rocks the only way for earth to have the force of gravity that it does is for much more dense material to make up a large part of the interior nickel-iron alloy under the conditions expected in a non Hollow Earth would have densities ranging from about 10 to 13 grams per centimeter cubed which brings the average density of earth to its observed value direct observation the deepest hole drilled to date is the Z 44 chavo oil well which is twelve thousand three hundred and seventy six meters or four thousand six hundred and four feet deep part of Exxon Neff agasa Colin one project thus visual knowledge of the Earth's structure extends that far in fiction the idea of a Hollow Earth is a common element of fiction appearing as early as Ludvig Halle Berg's 1741 novel Nikola Clemmy inter subterranean in which Nikolaj Killam falls through a cave while spelunking and spends several years living on a smaller globe both within an inside of the outer shell other notable pre-twentieth century examples include Giacomo Casanova 1788 a cosa mare on a five volume 1800 page story of a brother and sister who fallen to the earth and discover the subterranean utopia of the mega mierqis a race of multicolored hermaphroditic dwarves samms onea a voyage of discovery by a captain Adam C born in 1820 which reflected the ideas of John Cleves Symes jr. at Kerr Allen Poe's 1838 novel the narrative of Arthur Gordon PIME of Nantucket Jules Verne's 1864 novel a Journey to the Center of the Earth which describes a prehistoric subterranean world and George sands 1884 novel laura voyage Don is Chris Tom where unseen and giant crystals could be found in the interior of the earth in wh Hudson's 1887 romance a crystal age the protagonist falls down a hill into a utopian asexual pastoral paradise since he falls into this world it is sometimes classified as a Hollow Earth story although the hero himself thinks he may have traveled forward in time by a millennia the idea was used by Edgar Rice Burroughs the creator of Tarzan and the Seven novel pellucid our series beginning at the Earth's core in 1914 using a mechanical drill his heroes discover a prehistoric world called blue acid our 500 miles below the surface that is lit by an interior Sun the 1915 novel Plutonia by vladimir approacheth uses the concept of the Hollow Earth to take the reader through various geological epochs in more recent decades the ideas have become a staple of the science fiction and adventure genres appearing in print and film on television and comics in role-playing games such as the hollow world campaign set for Dungeons and Dragons and in many animated works in the science fiction series sanctuary Hollow Earth formed the core of the story arcs of the third and fourth seasons in the series Hollow Earth is the habitat for the original abnormals the cryptid creatures featured in the series ruled from the city of praxis this interpretation of Hollow Earth depicts a series of caves deep within the Earth's crust and that had been sealed off during a war between the Sumerians and the vampires in the video game Gears of War humans live on an earth-like planet with a mostly hollow interior the inside is filled with homicidal monsters bent on conquering the surface
