Hollow Earth
built 441 days ago
Hollow Earth is a fantastical world located in a spectacular galaxy of stars. The world was created communally in just one day using only food grown underground by catering students from Southwark College and London Underground staff. The star constellations were formed by star tasting profiles and drawings of memories and stories created from workshops with the artist Gayle Chong Kwan.

Most theories of the Hollow Earth claim that seventy percent of the surface of the Inner Earth is covered by land, with Ocean water making up only thirty percent of the area. If that be true than the likely hood of being spotted by any coastal inhabitants is extremely high. Speculation about the dinning habits of the Inner World inhabitants varies from benevolent to predatory ; so all contact will be kept at a minimum throughtout the entire expedition.
Hollow Earth enthusiasts continue to believe. Teed's Concave Earth theory, for example, was tested during World War II (1939–1945) by a Nazi scientist. He aimed a camera at a 45-degree angle into the sky from an island in the Baltic Sea, hoping to catch an image of a British fleet on the other side of the concave Earth. The experiment was unsuccessful.
The myths of a "Hollow Earth" were enough for the Thule people to go on to start a serious study of the phenomenon. Therefore there was at least one expedition to the Antarctic during World War Two.

Hollow_Earth.jpg (87689 bytes) One of the earliest "Hollow Earth" theories was proposed in 1692 by Edmund Halley. Edmund Halley was a brilliant English astronomer whose mathematical calculations pinpointed the return of the comet that bears his name. Halley was fascinated by the earth's magnetic field. He noticed the direction of the field varied slightly over time and the only way he could account for this was there existed not one, but several, magnetic fields. Halley came to believe that the Earth was hollow and within it was a second sphere with another field. In fact, to account for all the variations in the field, Halley finally proposed that the Earth was composed of some four spheres, each nestled inside another.

During the eighteenth century, Halley's Hollow Earth theory was adapted by two other famed mathematicians, Leonhard Euler (1707–1783), a Swiss, and John Leslie (1766– 1832), a Scotsman. Euler abandoned Halley's concentric spheres idea. He postulated that a glowing core some six hundred miles wide warmed and illuminated the inner earth, where an advanced population thrived. Leslie, on the other hand, believed there were two concentric spheres within the earth each with their own sun, which he named Pluto and Proserpine after the Greek god of the under-world and his mate.
