What if the Earth was Hollow?

If I was to jump in the air, I would reach outer space... if I was still alive that is due to the fact that the air around the planet would have left.

not to worry, because if we live long enough, we would have to live underwater anyway.

If the water didn't boil off from the suns rays

If the moon was made out of cheese, WOULD YOU EAT IT?

If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound? Sound is defined as when a vibration enters the ear? hmmmm

Does anyone care?

Silly, how can the Earth be hollow. Everyone knows the Earth is flat...

Not if it is one of them french smelly ones... the mean green type...

I would've said sound is defined as the vibration of air particles. If vibrating air particles hit a microphone which then records them, and are later replayed through a speaker that recreates the vibrations... what do you hear?

Sound is the vibration of air particles, not necessarily the action of those vibrations entering our ear... so it's there whether it enters our ear or not. (I guess??)

Sound: a)vibrations in air, water, etc. that act on the nerves of the inner ear and produce the sensation of hearing
b)the sensation that these vibrations stimulate in the ear.

Then it becomes sound.

The single phenomenon found inside the infamous black hole in outerspace? Sound waves.


Ah! The universal language.

Uh...ok...I thought it was hollow!

On another note...if you see a girl walking down the beach in one of them seashell bathing suits and you hold her up to your ear....you can hear her scream! And if that doesn't vibrate paticles in your ear nothing will!

@ Webgizmos

I thought the earth was hollow, too. Well, not hollow, but liquid (molten Rock) which pans out to "not solid" and space to flow. But I am no geographer.

Makes sense to me SD...but I'm no geographer either.

...I think I should have said geologist, not geographer.

to the original comment, the earth could never be hollow due to gravity. The center of the earth is said to be formed from a great compression of particles, moreover when particles are compressed their energies are in essence combined due to molecular weights and solubility coefficients of the various particles. Therefore you have molecular particles with varying degrees of solubility coefficients combining, and when particles combine in huge masses there is an influx of energy needed, therefore the reaction is termed endothermic. It is taking in heat (which is energy) of the universe, therefore creating the known force called gravity. Now one would think that the gravity of each of our planets would be so great that the universe would soon collapse on itself, however the universe is expanding. This is due to anti-matter and dark energy, and the dark energy is said to be the exothermic half of the reactions that happens within the planets, our earth. Because for every endothermic reaction there is one exothermic, every up there is a down, every proton an electron, every up-quark a down-quark...therefore for the force gravity which pulls us towards the earth, there is a force that will also push termed dark matter, which again is caused by the earth's solidity.

So... you are saying that ... earth is a donut?

Citizen afbigtease may the force be with us. I don't drink water, you know why? Fish have family relations in it!!
