Robin Ince takes us on a tour of a world beneath the earth's crust, exploring the history of Hollow Earth theory through literature, legend and scientific theory. Virtually every ancient culture, and most religions worldwide, have shared a belief in some sort of mysterious subterranean world, often inhabited by strange and powerful creatures. To the Greeks and Romans it was Hades. To many early Christians, Hell was conceived as a fiery pit deep in the centre of the earth, a scene most The Hollow Earth depicted by Dante in his Inferno. Hollow earth narratives have also inspired many great fantasy and science fiction writers including Jules Verne, Edgar Allan Poe and Tarzan creator, Edgar Rice Burroughs. Robin Ince's tour The Hollow Earth this world within a world, starts with the obvious question of how to get into it. With the help of his "tour guides", including the graphic novelist Alan Moore, Robin gets advice on where to descend and what he might see once he gets down there. Is this a Dystopia full of desperate souls, or the Utopia imagined by someone like the messianic 19th century physician Cyrus Teed, who established a hollow earth cult in Florida The Hollow Earth whose ideas later went on briefly to inspire the Nazis. On his subterranean journey, Robin also meets a classicist, a biblical scholar, and a literary critic. Together they explore the physical aspects of this world and consider who he The Hollow Earth bump into. Will it be the three-headed dog Cerberus, or the plesiosaurs and dinosaurs of Jules Verne? Or is this voyage into the interior, actually just a journey into the depths of our own minds? This episode is related to The Hollow Earth geography.

Americans have a long history of confusing inscrutability with genius. The less you say, the conventional wisdom goes, the smarter people will think you are. Alan Greenspan, the The Hollow Earth powerful Fed chairman in history, built his storied career on this simple, if shaky, premise. His memoir, The Age of Turbulencewill be published this month, and it will be interesting to see how he stretches The Hollow Earth rhetorical formula across pages. In Greenspanish, two and two may equal four. But it may also equal two discrete sets of two that shall never become four. And that assumes we all agree on how four should be defined. Critics, of which there are fewer, complain that he failed to put two and two together, get the requisite four, and warn the American The Hollow Earth that the dotcom implosion was just on the horizon. Meanwhile, both parties assume The Hollow Earth Greenspan made the decisions he did because he The Hollow Earth knew what was going to happen.

Hollow Earth theories posit that The Hollow Earth planet Earth has a hollow interior and, possibly, a habitable inner surface. At one time, adventure literature made this idea popular, and it was a feature of many fantasy and science fiction works as well as some conspiracy theories. People have never drilled into the Earth deeper than 15 miles, and thus direct knowledge of the Earth's structure extends only that far. However, the hypothesis of a Hollow Earth has long been contradicted by The Hollow Earth evidence as well as by modern understanding of planet formation, and the scientific community now dismisses the notion as pseudoscience. In ancient times, the idea of subterranean realms seemed arguable, and became intertwined with the concept of "places" such as the Greek Hades, the Nordic svartalfheim, the Jewish Sheol, and the Christian Hell. Also Plato is considered as the first theorist about hollow earth. Edmund Halley in The Hollow Earth put forth the idea of Earth consisting of a hollow shell about miles The Hollow Earth thick, two inner concentric shells and an innermost core, about the diameters of the planets Venus, Mars, and Mercury. Atmospheres separate these shells, and each shell has its own magnetic poles. The spheres rotate at different speeds. Halley proposed this scheme in order to explain anomalous compass readings. He envisaged the atmosphere inside as luminous and possibly inhabited and speculated that escaping gas caused the Aurora Borealis. De Camp and Ley have claimed in their Lands Beyond that Leonhard The Hollow Earth also proposed a hollow-Earth idea, getting rid of multiple shells and postulating an interior sun miles km across to provide light to advanced inner-Earth civilization but they provide no references. However in his Letters to a German princess [3] Euler describes a thought experiment involving a patently solid Earth. De Camp and Ley also claim that Sir John Leslie expanded on Euler's idea, suggesting The Hollow Earth central suns named Pluto and The Hollow Earth this was unrelated to the dwarf planet Pluto, which was discovered and named some time later. Leslie did propose a hollow Earth in his Elements of Natural Philosophy pp. InJohn Cleves Symmes, Jr. Symmes became the most famous of the early Hollow Earth proponents. He actually proposed making an expedition to the North Pole hole, thanks to efforts of one of his followers, James McBride, but the new President of the United States, Andrew Jackson in office -halted the attempt. Symmes died in However, another follower, Jeremiah Reynolds, also delivered lectures on the "Hollow Earth" The Hollow Earth also argued for The Hollow Earth expedition. Eventually he would drop talk about a hollow Earth after the death of Symmes. Reynolds went on an expedition to Antarctica himself but missed joining the Great U. Exploring Expedition of -The Hollow Earth though that venture was a result of his agitation. He did not participate because he had offended too many in his call for such a trip. Symmes himself never wrote a book of his ideas but others did. Ina professor W. An early twentieth-century proponent of a hollow Earth, William Reed, wrote Phantom of the Poles in He propounded the idea of a hollow Earth, but without interior shells or inner suns. He placed an interior sun in the hollow Earth. He even built a working model of the hollow Earth and patented it Gardner made no mention of Reed, but did take Symmes to task The Hollow Earth his ideas. In the same time Vladimir Obruchev wrote a fiction novel Plutoniawhere the hollow Earth's interior possessed one inner central sun and inhabited by prehistoric species. The interior was connected with the surface by a hole in the Arctic. Other writers have proposed that "ascended masters" of esoteric wisdom inhabit subterranean caverns or a hollow Earth. Antarctica, the North Pole, Tibet, Peru, and Mount Shasta in California, USA, have all had their advocates as the locations of entrances to a subterranean realm referred to as Agarttha, with some even advancing the theory that UFOs have their homeland in these places. The book rehashes Reed and Gardner's ideas and ignores Symmes. Bernard also adds his own ideas: UFOs come from the interior, the Ring Nebula proves the existence of hollow worlds, etc. The pages of the science fiction pulp magazine Amazing Stories promoted one such idea from to as "the Shaver Mystery". The magazine's editor, Ray Palmer, The Hollow Earth a series of stories by Richard Sharpe Shaver supposedly claimed as factual, though The Hollow Earth in the context of fiction. Shaver claimed that a superior pre-historic race had built a honeycomb of caves in the Earth, and that their degenerate descendants, known as "Dero", live there still, using the fantastic machines abandoned by the ancient races to torment those of us living on the surface.

  • Edmond Halley's Extravagant Hypothesis
    “We have Adventured to Make the Earth Hollow”: Edmond Halley’s Extravagant Hypothesis Peter W. Sinnema University of Alberta This essay revisits Edmond Halley’s schema of a multi-sphered, hollow earth, presented to the Royal Society in 1691 as a hypothetical resolution to the problem of magnetic variation. I open my investigation with a reading of Michael Dahl’s ªnal portrait of the great astronomer (1736), which enig- matically reproduced a diagram of the hollow earth that Halley had ap- pended to his original “Account [. .] of the Internal Parts of the Earth” in the Philosophical Transactions. My essay has the goal of enhancing our ap- preciation not only of Halley’s aptitudes as a theorist of the earth sciences, but as the dexterous practitioner of a language felicitously attuned to the early development of that ªeld. I provide a comprehensive exposition of Halley’s self-styled “Extravagant” hypothesis and argue that his attachment to it was sustained by his adherence to the tenet of a divinely ordained, natural economy. I also position Halley’s “Account” as the originary moment of a lit- erary sub-genre—the hollow earth fantasy or romance—that ºourished in England and America in his wake. Today, Dahl’s painting gestures simul- taneously to Halley’s conception of a habitable inner earth and to a literary tradition that embraced that idea as its central imaginary novelty. 1. Halley’s Enigmatic Legacy Portrait In 1736, an 80-year-old Edmond Halley, digniªed by the academic robes of his alma mater, Queens College Oxford, sat down at the brush of trans- planted Swedish artist Michael Dahl for his ªnal ofªcial portrait.1 (Fig.

This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

Goerler Abstract One of the major news stories of 1996 was the discovery and analysis of Richard Byrd's diary and notebook for his North Pole flight of 1926. Byrd's claim to be die first to fly to the North Pole was challenged by his contemporaries and by later historians. The diary provided new evidence, and the news of its existence and meaning fueled stories that reached every part of the globe. Interest in Byrd also inspired producers of three documentaries. The archivist who dealt widi reporters and producers discusses die media coverage, the challenges of working with reporters and producers of documentaries, and the impact of the publicity on an archival program. n May 9,1996, the seventieth anniversary of Richard Byrd's flight to the North Pole, Ohio State University ("OSU") announced the discovery Oof a diary of the flight. The story about Byrd's diary appeared in news- papers and on television and radio across the United States and Europe, and as far away as Australia. At die end of 1996 columnist George Will ranked the story as one of the year's biggest, especially because of an interpretation of the diary that cast doubt upon Byrd's accomplishment.1 Producers also followed the Byrd story and used archival materials for three separate television documentaries. Rarely have archivists experienced such controversy over an event covered by the media.2 The publicity and the dramatic productions that followed the 1 George F.

Through a constant showcasing of both scientific and historical embellishments, Pynchon builds his argument against the surveying of right lines upon the Earth. These lines, he believes, serve only to separate a people and allow a government to have greater control over its divided citizens. 2 Table of Contents Abstract............................................................................................................................................................................................. 2 Table of Contents ........................................................................................................................................................................... 3 Table of Figures .............................................................................................................................................................................. 5 1 Introduction ..........................................................................................................................................................................

  • Antarctica in Science Fiction How About
    Antarctica in Science Fiction How about revisiting some of the most important early novels about Antarctica? Poe and Coleridge turned the White Continent into a gothic locale, with their dark romantic novels. The region had set in train the ghastly experiences of Coleridge’s “Ancient Mariner”, produced the culminating horrors of Poe’s “Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym” and spawned the hideous amorphous aliens of H.P. Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness”. Surprisingly, the first novel ever published about Antarctica, “Symzonia”, was written before the continent was actually discovered, in the year 1820. The author was a firm believer in the ‘Hollow- Earth-Theory’ and this first book belongs hence to the proto-Science-Fiction line of Antarctic literary production. John Cleves Symmes, proposed in 1820 an idea about the inside of our terrestrial globe, which includes concentric spheres and a hollow interior, which allows people to live on the inside. The inner world, illuminated by a different sun, could be accessed via both poles. His idea would inspire a long line of Science-Fiction authors dealing with Antarctica, such as Edgar Allan Poe, “Manuscript found in a bottle” (1833) and “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym” (1838), Jules Verne, who would finish the story which Poe had left inconclusive in 1897, under the title “The sphinx of the ice fields”. In 1931 H.P. Lovecraft would revive the gloomy ideas presented in both books in his novel “At the mountains of madness”. Antarctica was still being described as a fantastical place with a challenging mythological geography. In her studies Elizabeth Leane (2012) identified the main ideas, which would turn into a leitmotiv in literature for almost two hundred years.

    The Inner Earth & Realm of Aghartha http://www.thenewearth.org/InnerEarth.html The Inner Earth & Realm of Aghartha Aghartha In The Hollow Earth! By Dr Joshua David Stone The biggest cover-up of all time is the fact that there is a civilization of people living in the center of Earth, whose civilization's name is known as "Aghartha". This may be hard for some of you to believe. I know it was for me at first, however, I now have an absolute knowingness of the truth of this. To begin with, the Buddhists, in their theology fervently believe in its existence. They believe it 1 of 47 6/29/2008 10:39 PM The Inner Earth & Realm of Aghartha http://www.thenewearth.org/InnerEarth.html to be a race of super men and women who occasionally come to the surface to oversee the development of the human race. They also believe that this subterranean world has millions of inhabitants and many cities, and their capital is Shamballa. The Master of this world was believed to have given orders to the Dalai Lama of Tibet, who was his terrestrial representative. His messages were being transmitted through certain secret tunnels connecting this inner world with Tibet. The famous Russian channel, Nicholas Roerich, who was a channel for the Ascended Master, El Morya, claimed that Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, was connected by a tunnel with the inner earth, Shamballa. The entrance of this tunnel was guarded by lamas who were sworn to secrecy. A similar tunnel was believed to connect the secret chambers at the base of the great pyramid at Giza, and Agartha.
