wow, far out. Er, in. You can shoehorn just about every myth, conspiracy, and legend into this one. I love the idea of an "inner ocean with no horizon". Nuts.

This explains EVERYTHING!
I'M COMING JESUS!

HELL!

Heh didn't even think of that! That miniature sun would sure make things warm in there. Hellish warm?

See, I always end up buying into this kind of stuff. I mean, I'm willing to believe that at one time, there were deep mantle caverns and such and they all got squashed with the pressure and size change of the Earth, but this... I dunno.

I mean, it's really easy for any semi-intelligent person to laugh off, but at the same time... wasn't it just a few hundred years ago that the world's greatest minds were insistent on the fact that the Earth was flat?

I say: let us look for our 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea style world. But my advice? If there's a hole leading to the dutch-oven style innards of this planet... you might want to look for a hole not covered in ice.

Well this really explains why mole people keep popping up all over my yard. I suppose Morlocks are next. Or maybe CRAB PEOPLE, CRAABB PEOPLE!

There Are plenty of available satellite images of the north pole. Here is one of my favorites:

Oh, and about that 'shadow zone'.. the common explanation is refraction do to earth's solid and liquid core layers... but hey, maybe it's the crab people?

No, check your history books again. Even if you ignore all of the non-occidental thinkers who came before, Eratosthenes calculated the Earth's circumference pretty accurately back around 250 BC. Even back then, he only had an error of about 1,000 to 5,000 miles from the actual circumference, depending on who you ask.

And even if you had been right, the issue here isn't ignorance or a lack of evidence - which was how early civilizations came to believe in a flat Earth - it's the complete dismissal of the abundance of solid evidence to the contrary.

Adding video to channels (Comedy) - requested by rembar.

This guy has some crazy leaps of logic there.

The crust is moving over a liquid mantel--> "inner sun"

Who the hell has these theories.

I don't understand how a ball of glowing metal would be suspended in the middle of the earth if the gravity is centered within the crust. Wouldn't the slightest wobble tip it plummeting towards one of the interior walls? It's not like regular orbit, with satellites constantly falling and missing the earth; inside there'd be no way for it to miss.

Well said, Rembar. The whole thing is obviously a cheap trick to steal money from bored rich people: "What? They only need two million dollars and I could also go to live in this beautiful, magic land at the center of the Earth where I'd be as light as a cloud!"

quite a quasi-decent scam..

Yeah, this is clearly a scam, I'm calling *lies

OK, this belongs in lies- i say we kick it out of science and put it in lies instead.

How the heck did this end up in science to begin with!?

Why doesnt he just start digging?

lol @ 'travel' assignment

This is so incredible.
