Travel To The Earths Center




Travel to the Earth's center is a popular Theme In Science Fiction . Some Subterranean Fiction involves travel to the Earth's center, either finding a Hollow Earth or the Earth's Molten Core .


HOLLOW EARTH

See Also: Hollow Earth


A " Hollow Earth " theory posits that the planet Earth has a hollow interior and probably a habitable inner surface. At one time, adventure literature made this idea popular. The scientific community dismisses it as Pseudoscience - but it remains a popular feature of many Fantasy and Science Fiction worlds, and is an explanation to Conspiracy Theories .


IN THE MEDIA

Most famous, Jules Verne's 1864 science fiction novel '' Journey To The Center Of The Earth '' set the stage for travel to the Earth's center. The 2003 film '' The Core '' concerns a team that has to drill to the center of the Earth and set off a series of nuclear explosions in order to restart the rotation of Earth's core. It was loosely based on the novel '' Core ''.


IN SCIENCE

Though no scientists have proposed travel to the Earth's center, David J. Stevenson has suggested sending a probe to the Earth's core.
