Posted: Sun May 28, 2006 1:28 pm Post subject: Hollow Earth Theory? |
|
|
Does anyone else believe that it can be anything OTHER then the Hollow Earth Theory?
I have searched, and couldnt see any other threads immediatly taking this theory on board, so perhaps will give it a shot myself. Being a newb here, I will just post my theory first, then u can inform me if someone else has posted the same theory, which I am sure MUST have been done at some stage.
Hollow Earth Theory for those who are not familiar with it:
"A "hollow Earth" theory posits that the planet Earth has a hollow interior and probably a habitable inner surface. Although at one time adventure literature made this idea popular, the notion now receives little support; substantial geodetic evidence has long controverted it and the scientific community dismisses it as pseudoscience."
Hollow Earth basically would account for most of whats happening on the Island, but not all.
They say that the entrances to the "Inner Earth" are at both poles, and few other locations, such as nepal, peru and a couple of other remote access points... Where was the station based at the end of season 2? The Arctic.
Thing which lend a helping hand to inner earth theory are:
- Precise co-ordinates from Not-Henry to get out of the Island (indicates an entrance to Hollow Earth.
- Polar Bear - not too far from its habitat if the entrance is indeed at one of the poles.
- The comic book had a big city like world sticking out from the north pole, which could potentially be hinting that there is civilisation at the poles that we dont know about yet.
- Rosseaus team, where on a scientific voyage werent they? possibly an Arctic expedition to learn more about the pole.
take a look at the hollow earth pages on wikipedia, goes into great detail about advanced races, and civilisations etc etc.
Obviously just a guess, but I really am starting to believe the hollow earth point of view
Probably more a case of WANTING to believe though to be honest. |

Dude... I thought you meant the awesome British band!!
In all seriousness, I like this theory. Particularly the idea that "Henry" gave such exact co-ordinates because it was the only way out of the "inner earth". |

Nice theory and i have thought about it, but there is one big problem that I automatically see: How could the plane have crashed there? If they are going from Sydney to LA, how did they end up at a pole? It didn't look cold at all outside of the glass and no one has ever said anything about it being cold around the crash. _________________

Actually the plane was out of it's course, and was drag to the island by electromagnetism, and as this guy stated there are another few entrances around the world, so maybe the plane was passing an entrace to the center of the world and in that exact moment the electromagnetism drag it inside.I think it's a good explanation.
I really like this theory man. we should, like search for flaws, and try to explain them, to make it better.
What do you think? _________________ SUO TEMPORE |

I also had the exact same theory.... i did not see your post here
http://www.4815162342.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=284948#284948
including my post in this thread aswell:
There is a pretty out there theory (not lost related) about the earth being hollow. Check out http://www.unmuseum.org/hollow.htm or search "hollow earth" in google for lots of info.
Me and my freind had joked about lost being part of the hollow earth theory before but after watching the finnale it does not seem so ludicrous anymore.
We have enough evidence now to say they are very possibly at the north pole (the plane flying past glaciers at the end aswell as the polar bear from season1)
Now hollow earth theory basically states that at the north pole there is a sinkhole that you can literall sail/fly directly around and because of the forces of gravity and centrifugal force once you have gone around the lip you would then be right way up on the inside of the earths crust.
Before you say that this theory is totaly crazy the other interesting link is the fact that they told michael he would find recue by following a bearing of 325degrees. Now thats 35 degrees off dead north. taking into account the difference between magnetic north and true north and the islands electromagnetism possibly effecting the compass I would say that they are heading north. North would mean a perpendiceilar exit to the proposed hole.... allowing escape..... any other bearing such as the one desmond took (west?) would mean you would just spiral around and end up where you started.
Of course there are some holes (pun intended) in this theory.
Why does day and night still seem to occur as per normal ? If they are in the earth the sun would not be seen?
I perhaps think some kind of snow globe effect (as desmond mentioned) could be the answer. The electromagnetism creates a fake atmosphere? Also interesting to note that the comic book from season 1 had an island with a snow globe type structure on it. So perhaps once inside this north pole sink hole the earth is not totally hollow as in traditional hollw earth theory.... but perhaps it is encased in a bubble.... either a man made bubble or one imposed by the electromagnetic force on the island. A strong enough electromagnetic force can bend space/time around it creating the illusion of a true horizon when infact there is nothing but water around them except for the hole.
anyone think im on to something?
______________________________________
but i guess my theory looks like this
A round earth with a sink hole in the top (posibly covered by a dome...ala desmonds snow globe comment and the comic book) the x is the island... it is nearer to the center of the earth meaning allthough it is accessed vis the north pole its lower altitude means it would be warmer allowing for a more temperate climate.

Interesting... the eleectromagnetic pull could have hurled the plane WAY off course...HOWEVER, there'd probably be more planes that would have been attracted to that exact same spot, and the island is not covered in ice, so I can't se this theory being totally accurate.
As for hollow earth, I think it'd be an awesome thing for the writers to explore, but they really haven't been leaning in that direction have they? I mean, look at the show so far, and I don't think you'll see any reasons for there to be a hollow earth/ Jules Verne exploration, no?
Neat theory though. If the writers want to go somewhere WAY off course and throw us all off, then that'd be the place to go.

Thanks for the replys guys, glad you havent all laughed it off, its something which I honestly think is the front runner for the "main plot" surrounding the actual Island.

There was a magnetic anomoly at the time the plane crashed, it could have pulled the plane in. OR as someone else has pointed out, it could have entered via one of the other access points said to be in place at different points of the earth.
Of course there are some holes (pun intended) in this theory.

There is a hollow earth theory by Leonhard Euler proposed an interior sun 600 miles across to provide light to advanced inner-Earth civilization.
Could this inner earth civilisation be represented by Dharma? they could be the inner earths link to the outer world. After all, Lost is set in modern times with modern techonology, and just from looking at their websites, there is some pretty far out projects listed, which may not necessarily be present in 2004. |

here are some quotes from unmuseum and wikipedia that potential link the happenngs in lost with hollow earth theory:
| Quote: | | The dense atmosphere in the center of the sphere prevented observers from looking up into the sky and seeing the other side of the world. |
this would explain the sky and sun... the dense gravity in the center warps the perception of space.
| Quote: | | After World War II there seems to be a continuing connection between hollow-earth stories and Nazi Germany. |
We know that the bearded other had a german pistol on one episode.
| Quote: | | Halley proposed this scheme in order to explain anomalous compass readings. He envisaged the atmosphere inside as luminous (and possibly inhabited) and speculated that escaping gas caused the Aurora Borealis. |
Anomolous compass readings..... the sky changing colour..... sound familiar?
| Quote: | | Symmes became the most famous of the early Hollow Earth proponents. He actually proposed making an expedition to the North Pole hole, thanks to efforts of one of his followers, James McBride, but the new President of the United States, Andrew Jackson (in office 1829 - 1837), halted the attempt. Symmes died in 1829. |
A bit of a stretch but a link to Jeronimo Jackson?.... Jeronimo is what you say when you are falling down.... and Jackson is trying to stop you??
| Quote: | | Other writers have proposed that "ascended masters" of esoteric wisdom inhabit subterranean caverns or a hollow Earth. |
There certainly seems to be knowledge of esoteric wisdom on the island.
| Quote: | | The pages of the science fiction pulp magazine Amazing Stories promoted one such idea from 1945 to 1949 as "the Shaver Mystery". The magazine's editor, Ray Palmer, ran a series of stories by Richard Sharpe Shaver supposedly claimed as factual, though presented in the context of fiction. Shaver claimed that a superior pre-historic race had built a honeycomb of caves in the Earth, and that their degenerate descendants, known as "Dero", live there still, using the fantastic machines abandoned by the ancient races to torment those of us living on the surface. As one characteristic of this torment, Shaver described "voices" that purportedly came from no explainable source. Thousands of readers wrote to affirm that they, too, had heard the fiendish voices from inside the Earth. |
Voices.... coming from unexplainable sources? whispers perhaps?
I know some of this links may be far fetched but I am just trying to add fuel to the hollow earth idea which I do believe is a very plausible theory. |

G'day all,
As punktual was saying, we have discussed this possibility before, although usually in jest. A couple of 'facts' about inner earth or hollow earth theory for you guys.
There was a question about seeing the sun. Inside the earth there is a sun, half light, half dark. This will give the illusion of our sun.
The nazis did indeed believe in the hollow earth theory, in fact they believed that we were in fact on the inside! Hitler sent an exhibition with big telescopes to spy on the other side of the world by pointing their telescopes into the sky, this of course failed.It is also believed by a small number of people that Hitler escaped underground with a large number of scientists and also some advisors.
I'm sure everyone saw the 4 toes on the statue? The yowie/bigfoot/sasquatch is widely believed to have 4 toes, and is believed to inhabit the inside. In the same way that both us and monkeys share 5 toes/fingers does the yowie and the 'people' inside the earth share 4. (I am only assuming this, will speak to a researcher regarding the four toes thing and post what I find)
Believers in the inner earth theory suggest that our sun is in fact killing us. It is believed that the inner sun is actually good for you, and that people living inside are healthier, live longer and grow larger that is possible out here.
I will also have to check for an entrance off the coast of Australia, I haven't heard of one but will find out.
There is most definatly something surrounding the island, because when the buttons were not pushed, the sky changed to purple. This purple clearly appears to be reflecting off of something. I'll post more when I am thinking more clearly. |

i didn't inclde the half-sun theory in my posts because personaly i think it sounds stupid..... we still need to obey the basic laws of physics here and a half-sun is too strange an anomoly to account for.
Some hollow earth theories however do state that we are currently on the inside of the earth and that the universe we see in the sky at night is infact all contained on the inside.... this is possible via the warping of space time by things with large mass (ie: a universe)
I like the bubble theory, and the violet light reflecting off the dome.
The dome theory works because there is allready a precedent in lost with the comic book island with the dome over it, aswell as desmonds snow globe remark. However the violet light could also be explained by the radiation from the electro magnet having a short wavelength which would lead to a violet colour.
lets try and disect this theory and see what works and what does not. |

You are right on w/this hollow earth theory.
I believe you have figured LOST Out.
Look at this!
http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/byrdgson.html
I will post it below too. Remember the bird who squaked "Hurly Bird" twice on the show!
Harley Byrd Interview
On the Art Bell Radio Show, October 19th, 1995
On this page you will find various postings to the Hollow Earth list about the interview with Harley Byrd by Art Bell on his radio show which was broadcast, Thursday evening, October 19th. Harley Byrd claims to be Admiral Byrd's grandson. I recall in a UFO magazine in California, seeing a listing for Harley Byrd and his interest in UFOs and the Hollow Earth. In any case, as you will read below, some of the people who commented were not sure that Harley Byrd is who he saids he is. So see what you think. |
