Chapter 14 -- Hollow Earth Geophysics
with an intensity represented by A'D'. This will be true of every other water particle in the
imprisoned body of water...
Since the resultant has been shown to be greater in all circumstances than gravity, certainly the
vast aggregations must also be greater than the aggregated gravity, and will be able to
overcome it under all circumstances...
The intensity of the centrifugal force will increase with the distance form the center of the earth,
while gravity will decrease; the resultant will also increase. Thus we find the most abundant
overflows at the tops of mountains or on high plateaus.
Green's physics isn't Newton's, as the former's centrifugal force is tangential, while the latter's is
radial. But even if we overlook the 90-degree turn, Green's resultant AD (or A'D' if we move to
the waterbody) is by inspection still not outward.
But back to our topic at hand, hollow globes.
Teed died before a German pilot Peter Bender came across Koreshen literature in a World War I
prisoner-of-war camp. After armistice, Bender discarded the religious aspects to form the hollow
earth doctrine, "Hohlweltlehre." Bender’s writings led to the interests of the German Naval
Research Institute for a method to locate enemy ships. A telescope pointed upward from Rügen
Island in the Baltic failed to detect His Majesty's Navy, however, and the Germans lost the next
war.
We will look a bit more at Teed's model in Chapter 26, Subterranean Water Bodies.
Like Symmes, William Reed (1830-1920) believed that sunlight shining
into the polar openings would be sufficient to illuminate the interior and
suggested that outer-crust folk colonize the inner earth. The reason the
North Pole had not been yet discovered, Reed explained as a point of
proof, is because it lies in the center of the opening.
From Reed's Phantom of the Poles (1906),
I am able to prove my theory that the earth is not only hollow, but suitable in its interior to
sustain human life with as little discomfort as on its exterior, and can be made accessible to
mankind with one-fourth the outlay of money, time and life that it costs to build the subway in
New York City.
Marshall B. Gardner (b. 1854), a maintenance man in a corset factory,
wrote A Journey to the Earth's Interior or Have the Poles Really Been
Discovered in 1913. The earth's crust is 800 miles thick and the interior
sun is 600 miles in diameter.
Here, indeed, we may expect to find a new world, a world the surface of
which is probably subdivided, like ours, into continents, oceans, seas,
lakes, and rivers.
Gardner cited the 1846 discovery of a woolly mammoth frozen in Siberia as evidence.
Subscribing to the single-sun theory, Gardner suggested that the mammoth had wandered
outside the hole at the North Pole and was frozen and carried to Siberia on an ice flow.
