World upside down

[sir.clip]

I was chatting to my kids & they questioning gravity etc..
Is there a theory out there that deals with the world being inside out?

So when we look at the stars and sun and moon (that general direction) we are actually looking to the center of everything.
And below our feet beyond the grass and dirt and stone magma etc is ever expanding.

The universe is expanding. How does this "inside out" model deal with that observable fact?

the bubble's getting bigger

next

or we're just looking more deeply at things.

What bubble? Also, the Earth is demonstrably *not* expanding.

yeh. this is addressed by the op, to whom further questions should be addressed

Do your kids smoke weed?

That's who I was I initially addressing, in fact.

No kids not on weed. just 6 and 4 & 4 again. (twins).
Lets all try looking at it as if you are a 6 year old. no knowledge based on any theory from text books.

a.Dad the earth spins round, why does rain fall in on us dad?
b.Gravity.
a.gravity whats that?

a.has anyone dug through the middle of the planet?
b.No
a.why not dad?
b.its to hot.
a.hot as the sun
b.yes, maybe hotter. i dont know.
a.So no one knows whats in the center of earth dad?
b.No
a.Is it the sun?
b.????? i dont know.

When I was a kid I would lie on the grass while looking up at the blue sky, and imagine that I was looking down through the clouds at a big blue ocean, and the planes and their contrails would become ships and their wakes. I didn't really think about the other direction, but it was the sort of thing that made my mind reel a bit.

its a giant core of molten nickel iron at temperatures way above what we use on it but not hotter than the sun. Its spin gives the earth its magnetic field.

Actually we do know what's in the middle of the Earth. Really really hot iron. I knew this as soon as I was old enough to read the science picture books my parents bought me.

But has anyone or anything been through to the center beyond the center and out the other side?
if not why
And is there anyone researching the possibility that its actually not a center, but a ever expanding zone.

and how trusting you were

 

[NoXion]

and how trusting you were

They had actual scientific stuff in them, they weren't those bullshit creationist ones. The trust was entirely warranted.

Nobody's dug through the Earth because we don't have the technology to build anything that can withstand the heat and pressure.

It can't be an expanding zone because the Earth is not expanding.

i'm sure that people in the past who read books with ideas which have since been superseded felt, at the time, that the information they received was actual and indeed scientifick.

Thanks..

That's what i'm looking for.. Hollow earth..
Wow, thought my kids were the only ones to believe this could be..

You can not prove this theory?
My 6 year old knows that much.

Yes, and it was, insofar as the scientific method was used to support past models. That's how science works. If it doesn't update it's models according to new data then it wouldn't be science.

Do you smoke weed

What theory? Expanding inside out Earth? Not my model to defend.

all worship at the altar of science

the best potted explanation on gravity is prob the one about holding a sheet stretched out at each corner & putting a football in the centre so it sags in the middle - if you let go of a marble at the edge of the sheet it rolls down & hits the ball - this is basically a model of the earth bending space-time & creating a gravity field around itself
