		<description>Laidlaw has recently returned from an expedition investigating a rumored gateway to the Hollow Earth in Tibet, and I await his findings with bated breath.  AND&#62;&#62;&#62;&#62;&#62;......Please return with such an expeditions' findings!</description>

		<description>Andrew, thinking of underground caves is too limited a notion of the Hollow Earth.  The idea I like is that the planet is literally hollow---like a tennis ball.

A fact that's not often understood in the literature is that the beings on the inside will be in a weightless environment; the shell's gravitational forces cancel out inside a hollow shell of matter (proved by Newton about 1700, but ignored by cultists ever since).

For more on the the Hollow Earth, see the story "The Perfect Wave" that Marc Laidlaw and I wrote for Asimov's SF magazine, to appear, I think in January, 2008.

By the way, Laidlaw has recently returned from an expedition investigating a rumored gateway to the Hollow Earth in Tibet, and I await his findings with bated breath.</description>

		<description>Do you believe that the hole outside Belize City, is an example of a possible hole to the inside of the earth. Also are you familiar with the accounts of the US Admiral that claimed to have come in contact with a civilization living under the North pole? What is your stance on the idea of people living in these possible underground caves?</description>

		<description>If the Earth is in fact hollow, then it could well be that there are a number of holes in the crust.  One of these holes might be hidden beneath the Antarctic ice shield, and some of the others could be in the ocean.  Due to the equilibrium of gravity on a hollow shell, the water wouldn't "rush though" a hole.  You'd just have a very deep blue/black hole in the ocean which, in principle you could swim through to get to the inside---and vice versa.

I've often thought there could be such a hole in the Bermuda Triangle area.

But if the hole in and of itself is not attractive, why would so many planes and ships founder there?  Perhaps there is a flying saucer base inside the Hollow Earth, and as the saucers commute in and out, they generate fields that might cause human craft to crash.  Or maybe the sacuerians shoot down our ships and planes for sport.  Or abduct them for fiendish purposes...

If I were to write about this, I'd probably focus on a hole in the South Pacific rather than a hole in the Bermuda Triangle---the BT is kind of overused and played-out IMHO.  I'd say check out the Great Astrolable reef near Fiji, or the Blue Hole in Palau, or the Marianas Trench off Tonga.</description>

		<description>hey, you think the bermuda triangle is actually a hole sucking things into the hollow earth?</description>
