Despite overwhelmingly contradictory evidence I still happen to run into people with the belief that the earth is hollow. (Much more so recently, due to the hollywood movie.) Can anyone here unfalsify this hypothesis?
I would think one way of getting evidence against that would be to find the mass of the earth and then calculate from there due to estimations as to the composition of it.

Ok, I am sorry. You lost me.
Find the composition of Earth?
Should I apply the conservation of mass theory to the rest of the universe and deduct what is missing to find the complete composition of Earth?
Originally posted by nihilismorWell for one thing, if the earth were hollow, there would be no magnetic field around the earth, because it is in fact the exact center of the earth that is a liquid metallic iron swirling around which generates the field, without which we would be cooked by the sun, no shield against hard radiation from solar storms. Another thing, seismic sensors delve deep into the earth and would easily detect a hollowness but in fact, the analysis shows a liquid metal core.

The moon landings were faked in a studio at the centre of the earth. FACT!
Actually I always thought the center of the earth was solid with liquid around it and then solid again on top (crust). The magnetic field would be due to the hot liquid (metal) rising and then cooling and sinking causing a donut type motion that keeps repeating itself.
I could be wrong on this though.
