No I don't believe in it but it makes for interesting reading.
A "Hollow Earth" theory posits that the planet Earth has a hollow interior and, possibly, a habitable inner surface. At one time, adventure literature made this idea popular, and it remains a popular feature of many fantasy and science fiction works as well as in some conspiracy theories. However, the hypothesis of a Hollow Earth has long been contradicted by overwhelming geodetic evidence as well as by the modern understanding of planet formation, and the scientific community now dismisses continued adherence to the notion as pseudoscience.

The construction of the earth is known, and is a follows: the inner core (the hottest part) is solid due to immense pressure; the outer core is liquid, both inner and outer core are nickle/iron; the mantel is mostly solid but is extremely hot and flows, this is the source of magma that comes from volcanoes; the crust is the outer part we live on and is also the thinnest, a bit like the skin on an apple.
As you can see there is no room for what you are suggesting, though there a caverns pot holes and caves. Some quite extensive, have a look in the record books, some go for miles.

I think this was a premise of the TV series called Stargate which was wildly successful as the longest running space series.
In this series , there is really a "hole" but not exactly a hole per se .Instead it is a "portal".
Watch it, if you havent done so yet.
As for the earth being hollow, and a secret earth underneath, that is a good plot for another TV show. Get to it and write it up. I'll watch it when it comes out. For now, copyright your idea.

At least you have the common sense to ask it in Mythology and Folklore and not embarrass yourself in one of the science rooms.
Absolutely no, its impossible, it could never have happened and before you look to explain Biblical floods and aliens you might like to find out if there is actually anything real requiring an explanation.
The simple answer why its impossible is gravity. If the earth was hollow it would collapse in on itself.
This was an old idea - late 19th century I think when they didnt really know any better. We dont have that excuse now.
If you want a sense of wonder try real science.
Besides if the flood came from there what pumped it out and stopped it from pouring back down the hole? Its a load of nonsense, sorry.

No.... well... i had never heard of it frankly... it seems funny that there is a secret earth inside the earth and UFOs come from there... i always thought that UFOs came from outer space not from inner space... well, cant say much as i dont believe in this. i think we know most of our own earth with all the satellites etc out there... but we still can not say... though in some cultures, people do believe that there is a world deep inside the earth... the description goes as - it is dark and hot... with fires burning every where.. the people living there are big, giant like (i dont know how they breath etc - as there is no proof of it yet). to tell you the truth, i always thought that it sounded like western definition of HELL and maybe thats where the hell is actually... and then i grew up to realize that there is no separate heaven or hell... its all in this very world where we live our heaven and hell lives.. all according to what kind of deeds we have done in our past lives...
btw, is this hollow earth connected to the bermuda triangle??? if that is the thing, then it might have some truth into it... who knows.. i m lost...

And in the secret earth inside, there's a hole near the north pole, with another smaller even more secret earth inside. And that's where George W came from.

Why might we instruct pupils incorrect suggestions? there's no danger the earth is flat the earth is virtually surely not hollow because of the fact they sent waves by way of the earth and that they reacted specially techniques telling them the earth likely has a molten center. we could inform young ones maximum appropriate, useful suggestions instead of in simple terms complicated them

Good grief, just when you believe that education is extinct, up pops an , " aliens at the North Pole" suggestion. "Middle Earth" is more plausible than Hollow Earth. The Noah story is laughable fiction, and science has evidence for the Earths core that cannot be denied.

Well the Earth is 8000 odd miles thick. Don't think we have ever gone over 20 miles down. Scientists say we can't go any further, but they may be in the pay of the supreme underworlders.

Absolutly not. That was an old German idea who believed there was a tresure hidden in there. Flying saucers take off from the Triangle of Bermuda and have nothing to do with it. Poor Noah has nothing to do with all that.
