Life in the cavity of the Earth, perhaps?
Have you watched the movie based on the novel by Jules Verne's "The center of the Earth?" The novel is the story of the expedition that discovered the life in the oral planet Earth? Fiction? There are still some theorists "Hollow Earth", about their theories and discussed today.

According to many legends and tales, to the north is the entrance to the underworld, which left the legendary tribes of ancient inhabitants of the earth. Mystics believe that it is near the North Pole are hidden from the uninitiated, the entrance to the legendary Hyperborea, Shambala and even Pluto. And recently, one authoritative edition reported that "flying saucers" did not come to visit us from space and from the ground, flying out of the huge hole in the North Pole. To confirm the version of life underground are the facts: at the poles, the air becomes warmer in the water floating timber, compass acting strange.

About a possible life in the Earth people thought from the time of Plato, who believed that the earth was permeated by tunnels and cavities. A scientist Edmond Halley, studying the Earth's magnetic field, came to the conclusion that it varies slightly, and therefore, there should be some. It followed that the inside of the Earth is another area with its own magnetic field.

Then the idea of ​​a "Hollow Earth" has long been exploited by science fiction writers. In the film, the Wachowski brothers' "The Matrix" the remnants of humanity after the civilization on Earth was destroyed during the war, the city was built inside the planet Zion, which is then protected from attack by the army of machines.

And many scientists have tried to prove the viability of the idea of ​​"hollow earth" through various calculations and experiments.

But do not forget that the idea of ​​voids within the Earth comes to us from ancient times. And 75 years ago, card "mystery" of the North a third of the white spots, and you can build all sorts of assumptions.

- We have, in the north, there are no holes that can be input-output in the underground spaces, no, - said Mark Sadikov, Academy of Natural Sciences, doctor of geological-mineralogical sciences.

- There is a deep part of the Arctic Ocean, where there is some lifting - ridges, between which the deep basin.

- The only thing I can say is - continues Marina Tauri, researcher at the Department of Geography of polar countries DENMARK - that I myself was at the geographic North Pole. And no holes were not observed. Hints of the hole! North Pole - the ocean, covered by ice, and that's for sure. For a long time there looking for land, and in this connection there beautiful myths. But now, in the XXI century, the modern methods of the area is very well understood, although it is 75 years ago, people really did not know, there is land or not.

Followers of the "hollow earth theory" believe that it not only proves the existence of several magnetic fields (E. Halley). They say that the northern lights - a gas that seeps through the thin crust at the poles of the planet. In addition, proponents of this theory point to the fact that the compass needle just goes crazy in the poles. Finally, many researchers pointed out that the north wind blowing warm, which confirms the existence of significant gaps.

- Indeed, magnetic fields, there are many. There is even a magnetic field, reflecting the site of the old platforms - Mark says Sadiq. - As to the winds, they may change depending "on the environment, and the temperature difference, of course, exist.

- There are two magnetic poles - north and south, and they are widely moves - like Marina Gavrilo. - They are thoroughly studied and found that each pole is not constant and very active migrate. As for the Northern Lights, it is - an amazing phenomenon. It occurs due to the emission of excited atoms in the upper layers of our atmosphere, is concentrated in certain areas in the belt oval spaced magnetic poles, where we see it. The astronauts also observed that all of our earth, as aura, shrouded glow, thus radiance that we see on the ground only at the poles. The power of the aurora has tremendous impact not only on the psyche of people, it even cause harmful interference to radio communications, which caused his close study.

The fact that the compass going crazy around the poles - this is normal. I was at the south magnetic pole, and we watched as the compass literally did not know what to do. Indeed, the greatest strength of the magnetic field of the Earth INSIDE pole, where the arrow and seeks to specify.

According to M. Gavrilo, warm winds blow from the north, if the front of the ship is open water, of course, it is warmer, and the wind can also be warm. There is also a certain zoning related to the local weather situation. In the Northern Hemisphere cold pole is located in Yakutia, and in the South - at "East", which registered the lowest temperature - about 90 degrees.

Most of the assumptions on the "hollow earth theory" is not based on scientific facts and guesswork. Therefore, serious modern scientists do not even want to comment on such theories. That, in general, can be explained by the high level of the development of modern science. North, of which there are various hypotheses, if not thoroughly understood, it is extremely thorough. What to say, if in addition to the monthly scientific expeditions on icebreakers there regularly go even foreign tourists.

According to scientists, the cavities in the earth can exist only in the form of karst caves. While proponents argue that when comparing the surface area and weight of the planet might conclude that, whether solid ground ball that would weigh a lot more ...

Marina has brand on it, too, has the answer: "In this situation it is necessary to use accurate calculations on various factors. Least consider that the Earth is not at rest in the mass, and moving. Rough calculation as a result can give easily.

Earth is impossible, not only because there is no space, but also because at a certain depth is rapidly increasing pressure and increasing temperature. For example, in Africa, was laid mine a depth of one kilometer. The people there can be only with refrigeration units - because of the extreme heat.

So, the "hollow earth theory" was extremely relevant, especially in a time when science was not so advanced as now. But life goes on, and knowledge, backed by proven facts, it becomes more and more. But not enough people on the surface of the mysteries of the Earth, and they are looking for them inside our planet. After all, the Earth's interiors are not well, especially "after the two-kilometer depth.

The deeper layers of the lithosphere is a solid puzzle. Greatest is hidden deep in the Earth - no one really knows. There may be surprises abound. A dream and look for something new - built into human nature.
