The general idea is that when a planet is forming; as it gains an axis and starts spinning the contents of the core would tend to move outward rather than stay solid. Sure there's a molten core, but not all molten. When something fluid spins, does it stay solid? Of course there's no way of really knowing, but there are stories.
One, Hitler an avid occultist, sent an aircraft carrier with 5,000 troops to the south pole to explore 'the southern hole' in the earth. "Supposedly" it retreated on account of heavy casualties and damage. (?)
Another is that a WW2 pilot "ended up" flying straight through the earth via the south and through the north without realizing it, only by his compass.
Anyone for an expedition?

Thanks all for your insightful opnions and answers.

1. gravity is not as strong as you may expect. Every time you pick up a book from a table you overcome the gravity of an entire planet
2. our planet is 43km 'wider' measured around the equator than measured from pole to pole, so this is the result of 4.550 million years of rotation (assumed that the rotation didn't spin differently is some spectacular way sometime, nobody can tell)
3. maybe Hitler's troops died because of cold and radiation, at the poles there is no shelter from the Sun's dangerous particles (because the magnetism of the Earth)
4. if you fly over the North Pole your compass will of course flip from north to south in almost no-time. wasn't that the mystery you are talking about
5. oh yeah, of course, in the centre of the Earth there is no gravity as the mass of the planet is everywhere around it
6. good idea: you should be a science fiction writer lol

That would create tremendous pressure on the sides of the crust and outwardly as well. If there is no superdense material in the center to create a force of gravity, what would keep the crust-mantle layer from turning into something more like 52 card pickup all over the solar system?

If their were a void space in the center the Earth's gravity to cause it to compress until there wasn't. The core is still a molten liquid as if it solidified we'd loose our magnetic field and our atmosphere would bleed-off into space. It is believed this is what changed Mar's climate several billion years ago.

If the earth was hollow and had a tunnel runnin through it it would have shown up in seismological studies.

The weight of all that magma ,crust and water would just collapse all over your hollow!

Dig a hole through a planet and it will blow up.

You should become a science fiction writer!

Because gravity is heavy.
