Hollow Earth Theory

[Kazimiera]

Well' that's an obvious hoax (since hell don't exist)

Of course it's a hoax, but a lot of people didn't think so.

If I recall correctly the sounds are from the movie Blood Baron made in the 70's.

It is physically impossible for the Earth to be hoillow. The crust of the Earth is not strong enough to resist the gravitational forces which would tend to implode it.

More important, there is geophysical evidence that the major part of the earth's interior is solid and that what is not solid is liquid. All of the Earth's interior transmits elastic vibrations, seismic waves. Down to about 5000 km, it transmits transverse vibrations which can be transmitted ONLY by solids.

The core does not transmit transverse vibrations or S-waves. When an earthquake sets up both longitudinal vibrations or P-waves, and S-waves, the core casts an S-wave "shadow" on the opposite side of the Earth. The only resonable explanation for this is that the mantle (~100-~5000 km down) is solid , transmitting both P-waves and S-waves, and the core , ~5005-~6300
km. down, is liquid.

Under the ambient pressures in the core and mantle, no voids are possible. If there were any, they would cast seismic wave shadows which have never been observed.
