Which is just as well, for when he came to, he realized he was the living incarnation of Jesus Christ. Not only that, he also decided that the Earth is actually an inverted sphere: We line the inside and look in on , not out to , the rest of the universe. So he started a cult called Koreshanity in Florida to convince the world of his geologic discovery.
And on a beach near their commune, for five months the Koreshanites deployed the rectilliniator, a device of their own creation, to scientifically measure that the Earth is in fact concave.
Naturally, it was a success. This is the strange tale of the hollow Earth, a theory that even Halley himself realized was a tad unbelievable. OK, well, off to an interesting start. But the idea of a hollow Earth was hardly a new one, Griffin notes. A German named Athansius Kircher, for instance, published Mundus Subterraneus in , in which he claimed the Earth contains a central fire kinda true, really and vast underground lakes and lava chambers. We can find a way for you to direct this.
And you find that happens again and again, with different franchises, and different horror intellectual properties. But overall I think horror is in a great place. Horror is far from dead.
I mean there are more voices, more diverse points of view coming into these stories, which is just making the buffet all the more delicious. And for me, this question was: What is at the heart of the universe? Is there a heart at the center of the universe? A lot of different writings and thoughts on it.
I just keep coming back to that question: What does it mean that the universe is both so painful and so beautiful? RSS iTunes Download.

Its mean radius is Were we to slide Venus inside of an entirely hollow Earth, it would fit with nearly miles to spare. Even accounting for a mile-thick outer crust, there'd be plenty of room for an atmosphere and a Venusian surface beneath.
The surface area of Venus is million square miles, or about 90 percent that of Earth. Even assuming a similar distribution of water and land, there would be space aplenty for the Titans to roam. Territory wouldn't be an issue underground, but pressure and temperature would. Standing at sea level, atmospheric pressure pushes down on you at This pressure is a direct result of the column of air above you.
Descending into the Earth means a taller column of air pressing down on the body and increased air pressure. For reference, the air pressure at the peak of Everest 29, feet above sea level is 4. The variance is large enough that the average climber requires supplemental oxygen to make the summit. Heading deep underground creates the opposite problem. With each inch we descend, the column of air pressing down on your body increases.
At just 1 mile below sea level, the air pressure increases to At 10 miles beneath the surface, the pressure would be nearly 20 times that of surface level. At miles beneath the surface, the depth of our fictional subterranean world, the pressure would be literally crushing. And that's not even taking temperature into account. The deepest hole in the world is the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia. Work on the hole continued intermittently from until Today, it's covered over with a metal cap bolted to the earth, but beneath that cap is a hole 9 inches in diameter and more than 12 kilometers deep.
