— A Case for the — Hollow Earth Theory n 25th November 1912, Marshall B. Gardner of Aurora, Kane County, Illinois, USA submitted his discovery application to the United States Patent Office. Eighteen months later, on 12th May 1914, this federal agency granted Mr flight discovery of Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903.

Gardner augmented his with studies of astronomy. The majority of this article will be testimony from the real experts, the people who were there—there at the huge telescopes and especially there in those vast and previously mys- terious polar regions. But first, this is the common-sense theory responsible for United States Patent 1096102. In the beginning, some four or five billion years ago when the Earth was still an enor- mously expanded ball of superhot whirling gas, it gradually began to contract as it cooled. e ° Sol id eVi dence The laws of physics require cooling gases to condense, and so the rapidly spinning sphere of tenuous gases began to concentrate as the heat loss continued. Self-centred gravitation- abounds to al attraction kept reducing the diameter of the whirling ball of cooling material—but only ° to a certain extent. This is the big logical distinction between the old inadequate theory of planetary formation and Gardner's discovery. The old notion would have us believe that support this be the gravitational contraction continued unabated until the Earth had become molten hot th under a fierce gravitational pressure. While such a scenario undoubtedly does routinely eor y- occur in the celestial evolution of particularly immense bodies, as is the case with all stars, it is definitely not the final development of typical planets. The crucial second factor to lay on stress is centrifugal force. Remember that while gravity is attempting to draw all of the material toward the centre, there is an opposing force also at work—centrifugal force. Just as a figure-skater spins much more rapidly when she brings her outstretched arms tightly in against her body, so too did the ever-con- by Mark Harp | tracting proto-planet begin rotating ever more rapidly as its size decreased. Like the ‘glued’ water in a bucket that refuses to spill if one swings the bucket in a fast circle, so too was this same law of motion—centrifugal force—attempting to hurl all of the material 107 North Holmes outward from the forming planct's axis of rotation. So finally, in this silent titanic strug- Memphis, TN 38111, USA gle between two natural forces, a balance was struck. When the swiftly whirling sphere - had drawn itself down to an approximately 8,000-mile diameter, the compromise between gravitational and centrifugal force was reached. But there is more. A 1914 US patent contends that planet Earth is a hollow sphere with polar openings and its own central sun. Solid evidence abounds to support this theory.
