(meteorobs) hollow earth theory anyone?

[Eric Bynum]

Dear meteorobs.org subscribers:
       All right, be nice.    First of all, does "hollow" necessarily imply 
that the entire interior volume of Earth is "void" as far as the original 
proposal was concerned?  Of course not; however, I can say that geologists' 
knowledge of our planet's interior is limited.   The core is certainly 
ferromagnetic, or none of us would be here in the first place (due to the 
protection provided by the Van Allen Belts).    Maybe the ancient scientists 
were speculating that some of the Earth's "innards" were/are not in a liquid 
or solid phase.   I don't think we are looking into inner space when we see 
"sky" objects whose position appears to remain constant (barring the effect 
of precession of the equinoxes).     The initial purpose of this thread 
being generated is that some of us know when to lighten up.
