Ok, I agree flat earth is some bunk.
But Hollow Earth? Was Admiral Byrd a kook?
They would have figured out the earth was hollow a long time ago through the behavior of seismic waves from earthquakes. The Earth does not behave like a hollow object.

How would you explain the earth's magnetic field? Also, we know the mass and average radius of the Earth and thus the average density. This density is much higher than the density of the crust (which we can measure directly), thus there's more dense stuff underneath. Also volcanic activity.
It would take quite a lot of patchwork to explain a hollow earth. The fun part is that Gauss's law tells us that a hollow earth will behave exactly as a solid earth in terms of gravity and orbit (if they have the same total mass).

ignore the new age stuff too lol

If you fuck around with coordinate systems then anything is possible, but I'd personally stick to Euclidean unless otherwise noted, just for the peace of mind.

No, A hollow earth with an interior "earth" complete with its own energy source (that doubles as the "core") and ecosystem. All as described by admiral byrd

Here is a literal seismic image of a plate subducting into the mantle.
>Was Admiral Byrd a kook?
Yes

And wouldn't you know it, I forgot the image.

plate tectonics still function with a hollow earth

Only if you believe his "secret lost diary" was real.

For historians, Operation Highjump is still a mystery because it makes no sense and all documents are still classified. Admiral Byrd's El Mercurio interview of March 5, 1947 is too vague for any conclusions.
LMH has something anecdotal on her earthfiles.com web site about a pilot, missing scientists and more: scroll to July 1, 2016 and May 5, 2016

Huh? Cursory googling gives me these http://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/operation-highjump/
