If you're interested man read the book Hollow Planets: A feasibility study by Jan Lamprecht. It's insane just how little we are certain about in the field of seismology.

i like to imagine theres some fattie caverns down there somewhere in the crust. locust level shit.

I drew a shitty mspaint pic to show just how shallow our efforts into the earth have been. Earth is the big circle, that little magnified pixel is the Kola borehole.

It's pretty much impossible to drill lower than that. They had to stop there because the ground gets really fluid at that depth. It's like trying to dig a hole in water. We just don't have the tech to go lower.

Not to mention heat and pressure.

'shallow'

Ha, I see what you did there

Not shitty - just minimalist. It conveys the info with the fewest bits expended.

You don’t want to go there and upset The Vril.

Just standard science bullshit to say:

Usually scientists don't highlight how little they know about the subject they happen to be studying. Bad for grants. Instead they fill the basket with details that they CAN get at and accumulate, and that's the case here.

But there's another very serious strategy: make a model. Once you have a model and some data, you're off and running. A model of the earth might be as a great big iron magnet.

Once you have the model, you put all the actual readings and measurements into it. Surprisingly, they always seem to fit right the first time. Sometimes the facts don't fit. Then they either ignore them, or make a new model.

Wait are you suggesting that scientists can be biased and often have flawed methodolgies?

You're lucky this isn't a political issue or the "OMG you're anti science!!" people would be at your throat.

You ought to respect the authorities!

They were able to determine the mass of the earth without the aid of electricity, 200 years ago!

And they were even able to do it with a rudimentary experiment in a shed!

Show some respect!

we have models which we work with, giving us some ideas. But again these are models, much like tectonic plates, just theories.

do a search for Interview with Lacerta

lol

Its in pre-star mode a la Space Odessy series.

I think one of the defining features of a planet, as opposed to a star, is that planets aren't massive enough to reach thermonuclear fusion. The temperature you gave is the surface of the sun. The core is 27 million degrees. How would a covering like earth's crust withstand that kind of heat? I'm not exactly sure what your theory is and maybe neither are you, maybe you're just thinking and want to hear what others think, which is cool, it's fun to think about. Are you thinking along the lines of maybe the star is at a stage in its lifecycle where it's not so hot? Like a white dwarf? I'm not an astronomer but it's interesting to think about.

I heard on the radio today that there is more water in the mantle than on the surface of earrh.

IMO this is the grand conspiracy of all, we are looking for other life form anywhere in the universe but don’t even know what beneath our feet.

With all the Dumb scatter everywhere, or Fking deep cavern like Krubera cave or even old tunnel and passage like south america or the Giza plateau, They probably know something that would change the way we see our planet or plane whatever your beliefs are and keep us in the dark with theories like the molten core, tectonic plate etc.

Breakaway civilization from the old times or for a upcoming massive event ? We don’t know for sure but damn this is so interesting, even more high as fuck.

The problems with looking into the middle of the earth are technological, not political, in nature. The problems with exploring caves and underwater features are partly monetary, partly technological as well. Researchers in China recently found species of flowers they thought were extinct, that somehow survived in only some caves in really remote parts. Other researchers recently found a novel mineral encased in diamonds which were created under very specific circumstances. Shit, just last week we found the USS Lexington after 70 something years underwater off the coast of Australia. Kinda neat to think about all this stuff.

The ocean is a doorway within.

The waves are more than thin.

Life was here long before man

In time we will find the evidence.

LOOK beyond the fence. Step outside the yard. Life extends. Beyond the "stars". Keep hanging on To the dead. This book has been written.

How many people are the same?

How many people stay in the same place?

All these people. With all these leashes.

Are keeping our minds at bay.

There are some who consider the Earth to be a "black dwarf star" that is actually much older than the current Sun.

Yea similar to medical imaging, which could save your life by seeing what's going on in there.

So we have seen the inside. Just not with our eyes.

In extremely low resolution with low reliability.

I think it’s actually fairly well accepted by the scientific community that there is nuclear fission going on in the earth’s core. Kind of like you hypothesized; just not with fusion.

It seems pretty likely that the heaviest elements are in the core, and that would suggest fission occurring there.

We don't know the extent of life in our oceans let alone beneath that.

It's pretty much impossible to drill lower than that. They had to stop there because the ground gets really fluid at that depth. It's like trying to dig a hole in water. We just don't have the tech to go lower.

'shallow'

Ha, I see what you did there
