This is a picture mail I received today after TOK. We discussed the hollow earth theory. Theories like this offer us good TOK, critical thinking opportunities.
Take a look at this:
What evidence do we need to believe this theory? Are we too quick to dis-believe due to our own biases? Are these biases the same as those who believed the earth was flat or those that believed powdered baby milk is better than natural mothers milk? People also believed these things right? So how do we know the earth is not hollow? You been inside?
Hollow earth theory
I don't know why, but I really tought that video was like a ducumentary, with scientists talking about their theory. It's kinda boring all those images just with a song in the background. Quite interesting, though.
ReplyDeleteFirst, the Earth was plain. Then, round with the magma and all this stuff inside. Now we have a hollow planet!
For me the Earth is still - almost -round. That's the theory I believe in. And we don't have a sun inside our planet, that's crazy.
