(meteorobs) hollow earth theory anyone?

[Charles O'Dale]

We can put this under the quack quack science file.

The article about craters "proving" the hollow earth:

http://www.hollowearththeory.com/articles/impactCraters.asp

..... is an excellent example of doing pseudoscience and avoiding all that 
hard mathematics.

The author of this pseudoscience "forgot" the energy formula of impacts:

e = 1/2 mv^2

... and what that would do to the target bedrock (IE: large scale melting - 
to a depth of >100 km at Sudbury).

BTW, the energy formula explains why most craters are round. The exceptions 
are when there is a very low angle of impact.
