However, some of the adventurers have more nefarious motives in mind, seeking to harness energy in this subterranean place in order to defeat Godzilla and other Titans. In reality, Earth is made up of several layers , including a thin crust, a bulky mantle, a liquid outer core, and a smaller inner core. Today, we consider this knowledge a well-established scientific fact, but these discoveries actually occurred fairly recently. In Godzilla vs. These beliefs also persist in modern-day Indigenous cultures.
Halley was right about the magnetic field, but not so much about Hollow Earth. Years later, War of veteran and explorer, John Cleves Symmes , seized on the Hollow Earth theory for his own ends to justify American expansionism and initiate exploratory expeditions into Antarctica.
There, he believed that light — and human explorers — could descend underneath the surface into the hollow core. Symmes died not too long after making his claims — he never did make it to Antarctica — and has largely been forgotten by mainstream society. You can, however, find a year-old monument dedicated to his strange life in Ohio. Many of the nineteenth-century authors who wrote about Hollow Earth, such Edgar Allen Poe and Jules Verne , imagined enlightened friendly alien beings or ancient prehistoric creatures that lived within the hollow core, just beyond our reach.
Wingard, the Godzilla vs. One can never be sure just how serious they are about it, but there does exist a group of people who call themselves the "Flat-Earth Society" remember the news item about the old gentleman who was invited to Cape Kennedy to watch an Apollo moon launch, but came away convinced that it was all a hoax?
There is another group, equally vocal, who believe that the earth is hollow. Several years ago, a group of "believers" informed a member of the Geophysical Institute staff that there was an opening to the center of the earth in the Alaska Range, and that this was an entry and exit point for flying saucers. Bernard, judging from the initials he lists behind his name, holds just about every advanced academic degree, but is apparently somewhat of a recluse.
As a spokesman for the publisher states in a foreword to the book, "I will not enter into any correspondence regarding this book--or the author. Whether you accept or reject the content of this book is your privilege. No one cares. The crux of the hollow earth theory is that the earth is a shell with walls about miles thick. In the polar regions there are holes miles across, with edges that curve smoothly from the outside of the shell around to the inside.
While he was writing the book, Egerton viewed the Hollow Earth Theory as a bit of harmless fun, but recent events have made him reconsider that view. And check out some highlights from the discussion below. Owen Egerton on the Alamo Drafthouse :.
I would stay and watch these bizarre movies, some of them classics of cinema and others drive-in movies that Tim League had purchased. There was a period where Tim League basically heard about a drive-in that was going out of business, and he just bought all their movies.
Another group is kind of interested in it, and they were going to let me direct. Jason Blum is watching my film! We can find a way for you to direct this. And you find that happens again and again, with different franchises, and different horror intellectual properties. But overall I think horror is in a great place. Horror is far from dead.
