Re: [allplanets-hollow] The zone of heat
?
Frode,
Are you acting "devil's
advocate" with your questions below? Seems so. But 1000 meters
seems too close to the surface. Sharp research analyst and
"reporter" DAVID PRATT (in his excellent online book
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/dp5/inner1.htm)
writes that current orthodox BELIEFS about heat (and pressure)
CONTINUING to increase going MANY miles (or kilometers) deep, have
been contradicted. Pratt ably points out that "scientists" really
have NO CERTAIN knowledge about what this earth, its crust or its
center, consists of deeper than a very few miles. They have agreed
upon ASSUMPTIONS with which they INTERPRET (or MISinterpret) the only
"evidence" they have, seismic wave phenomena.
But I agree with you,
Frode, about a ZONE OF HEAT if one goes deeper, from 50 miles down
and beyond. If there exists a global MOLTEN layer (whatever
its depth and thickness) below the crust, TEMPERATURES in a that
molten layer will be enormous.
Either that deep layer
of super-hot molten matter exists or it does not.
If it exists (as I
believe) just HOW could any tunnelers from caves in Kentucky , Tibet
or anywhere short of heat free polar openings, travel down THROUGH
that molten matter? Impossible, it seems.
IF that deep molten matter
exists, I must logically partly agree with Frode's "devil's
advocate" P.S. possibility about ETIDORHPA: "The
simplest explanation is of course that the whole story is made up."(I write "partly" because parts of the story may be valid,
while other parts "made up" from the author's imagination.)
As I am still only SLOWLY reading
on screen the entire Etidorpha text kindly provided by Dean, I cannot
assess OVERALL what I agree or disagree with. But from the small
(bust significant) amounts I have read so far, I find some
"scientific" claims a bit faulty. For all the Etidorhpa entity's
seeming wisdom, he seems scantily informed about the various rock
strata composing this earth's crust. Or rather, the AUTHOR, a then
famous CHEMIST, I think Pratt labeled him (not a geologist), is
scantily informed. If Mr. Cater, who presumably is aware of the
author's geological knowledge lacks, continues to value ETIDORHPA as
THE GREAT BOOK, I am surprised. Or has Cater criticized parts?
Etidorhpa MAY ultimately
prove to contain many basic truths about earth's geological
nature. Hope it does because so many of you, including Mr. Cater,
appear to consider it of primary importance in providing
"evidence" that a hollow earth exists.
Concluding... If a deep,
GLOBAL molten layer does NOT exist, ETIDORHPA may be generally
accurate... and some tunnelers may have been able to penetrate the
MANY miles of crust and did reach the HE in the past.
Anyone believe no such deep
MOLTEN area exists?

There seems to be something missing in
Etidorhpa. What about
the zone of heat? As one gets deeper into the crust of Earth it
should be getting hotter, and after some 1000 meters it should
be quite hot, actually unbearable hot. This zone of heat would
most likely be the greatest obstacle that one would encounter on
a journey like the one in Etidorhpa. So why did they not encounter
it?
Any ideas?

PS! The simplest explanation is of course that the whole story

made up. But let us forget that for a
while.
