If the earth is hollow can it be scientifically proven?

Question

or is this beyond the ability of the scientific community to find out? Would a lesser challenge be more palateable?

Answer 1

a hollow earth would be obvious in seismic surveys - both the way seismic waves propagate, and the way the entire planet vibrates.

it would be very difficult for a hollow earth to have a magnetic field.

Answer 2

It has been proven to be NOT hollow long ago, James. Science is perfectly capable of determining whether the Earth is hollow or not, and has determined that it is NOT.  Why can you not accept that? I don't know why you obsess on this topic so. Give it up and join the real world, already. The Earth is also NOT flat, and much older than 10,000 years.

Answer 3

of course it COULD be proven.

Answer 4

Firstly, the earth has a spinning ball of iron at its core. This is how our magnetic field is produced.

Secondly, if the earth was hollow, it would have a much smaller gravitational effect, not to mention it would have collapsed in on itself billions of years ago when it was still forming. It's physically impossible to have a hollow planet.

Answer 5

As on the standard hollow Earth scenario:

It is scientifically contradictable. As all evidence pro it is based on a projection from the flat space, all effects which require a more complex geometry would require to be explainable by the hollow Earth space. Which is mathematically often impossible, as not all geometries allow being projected like that. Take for example the observations linked to general relativity - special relativity might barely work in a hollow earth world, but general relativity, with it's minkovski space, is no longer working.

Of course, if you replaced learning math after high school with arrogance, this hollow Earth scenario is cool to play "smarter than you"

And of course, it fails always on the KISS principle.

On a hollow Earth like hollow below us: Any seismic wave would prove you wrong, as a hollow region filled with any kind of gas would have far lower speeds of sound.

Answer 6

It has already been proven that the Earth is not hollow.  Seismic waves, produced by earthquakes, propogate to differen't parts of the Earth much too quickly to be just passing around the surface of a hollow Earth, and much too quickly to be passing through the air of a hollow Earth.  And if the interior of a hollow Earth were a vacuum, the waves would not pass through it at all.

Answer 7

yes it could be proven

just by studying electric and gravitational fields of earth mathematically from different points.
