We take the perfect condition of our earth for granted sometimes.

We may have never been able to journey to the centre of the earth, but these days, we

know that below us are three layers, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core.

But what would the world be like if it were just crust?

Hello and welcome back to Life's Biggest Questions, the channel that looks to answer

some weird, wonderful and at times fanciful questions.

I am Rebecca Felgate and today we're asking : What if the earth was hollow?

Before we launch into this video I just want to let you guys know that we have started

a Patreon…so if you want to be part of helping to create some bog answers on this channel,

I will leave the link in the comments section below.

By using seismological and magnetic field data we have been able to gain an understanding

of what is inside planet earth.

We live on the crust, a thin outer layer that occupies just one percent of the earth's

volume, and just 0.5 percent of its mass.

If the earth were hollow, we would lose 99% of our mass, which would have an effect on

gravity.

The moon has 1.2 percent of the earth's mass as it is, so without a core, our relationship

to the moon would change, with us drawn to it rather than vice versa.

Our loss of earth mass would also undoubtedly have an effect on our experience with gravity,

we would no longer be sucked down to the ground at the same rate as the equation would have

changed.

Again, with our change in mass, our orbit in relation to the sun would change too.

If the earth were hollow, our plate tectonics and volcanoes would behave very differently

…in fact, we would have no volcanoes.

Volcanoes are formed when magma from the earths mantle pushes its way to the surface…without

a liquid outer core and a mantle, this wouldn't happen.

So…had the earth always been hollow, there would be no volcanic islands like Hawaii.

If the earth was hollow, could we pop it…like a big crusty balloon?

Well…I don't know, but I for one would be more concerned about asteroids….that

being said nothing has ever smashed through to our mantel before; the earth would still

be between 30 to 50 kilometres thick, although we would have less mass to absorb the shock.

At the moment we have not been able to drill to the mantle as the further .down you go

in the earth towards its core, the hotter and denser things get, breaking our tools.

The farthest we have ever dug is around 12 thousand metres down, so roughly a third of

the way through our crust.

However, without the heat and pressure of our core, perhaps we would be able to poke

a hole into earth….although I am not sure you would want to fall in it.

Ignoring the many issues a hollow earth would present for a moment, if we were able to drill

a hole each side of earth, Youtuber V Sauce calculates it would take 37 minutes to fall

through it and reach the other side…but of course…..that is an extreme simplification

for a process that would undoubtedly kill you.

If the earth was hallow, what exactly would be in the middle of it?

Oxygen?

Another gas?

Right now there is nowhere near enough oxygen on earth to fill up the entire middle of the

planet with it….

I suppose we ought not worry about a hollow earth anyway, seeing as if it happened we

would probably all frazzle to a crisp on its surface anyway.

One of the main contributing factors of our earths existing core is that it controls the

earth's magnetic fields.

The liquid core has electric currents running through the conductive liquid metal which

creates our magnetic field.

This magnetic field protects the planet from solar winds, without them earth would get

hot and uninhabitable – like the planet venus, which does not have na internally generated

magnetic field.

although our burning to a crisp would be quite pretty – without magnetic fields there would

be lots of auroras in the sky….

Like the northern lights but everywhere.

It is hard to say precisely what would happen if the earth were to be hollow, but the answer

pretty much involves life on earth as we know it never having evolved the way it did….as

of course there really is no way to drain the earth of its innards now, and of course,

even if there was, the earth would crumple up into itself.

Its best to just focus on the happy life we have been awarded on our hearty, filled rock…and….now

more than ever, we are at the brink of discovering more about our insides than ever…who knows

what big questions will come from those discoveries.

What was crucifixion like - Duration: 7:38.

crucifixion was one of the most dreaded and painful forms of execution in

ancient times thousands of crucifixions were performed by the Romans the most

famous of course being Jesus Christ yet because almost all depictions of Jesus

on the cross were painted centuries later our image of the death of Christ

is in many ways incorrect understanding Jesus's death though gruesome and

painful in nature can help us better understand the incredible love that the

Savior has for us because of what he was willing to endure crucifixion was often

first preceded with the painful process of flogging or scourging as is the case

of Jesus the scourging was done to physically weaken the condemned person

accentuating the already painful process of crucifixion the whip or flagrant was

made of strips of leather fastened to a handle with broken glass nails bone and

lead weights fastened to the end of the strips the flag room was designed to rip

through the flesh tearing skin and muscle from the bone the powerful symbol

of the sacrament bread which represents Christ flesh being torn apart is an apt

reminder of the scourging that Jesus endured on our behalf once flogged the

convicted person was made to carry his own cross through the city till they

arrived at the place of execution unlike most depictions showing Jesus carrying

an entire cross the condemned man instead would actually only carry the

cross piece this was because of the incredible weight of a full cross and

because wood was such a scarce resource that it was common to use an already

existing tree or permanent post as the base of the cross the fact that Jesus

may have been crucified on a living tree brings beauty to the title of Jesus as

the tree of life the Gospels tell us that Jesus was crucified at a place

called Golgotha from the Hebrew word meaning skull most likely referring to

an or small hill shaped like a bear skull

today in Jerusalem there are two main traditional locations for Golgotha the

hilltop in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and skull Hill just outside

the Damascus Gate the first location was chosen by Helena mother of Emperor

Constantine in about 325 AD because of several earlier traditions that marked

this as the place today the hill is located within this enormous church

under slabs of stone with only portions of the original hill visible behind

sheets of glass interestingly it is because of this church with its steep

steps they lead up to the traditional place of crucifixion that we so often

see paintings and film depicting the crosses on top of a hill however Rome

did not generally crucify on the top of hills away from on lookers but instead

right next to the main roads and gates of the city crosses were also much

shorter than normally depicted so is to bring their victims as low as possible

placing them almost at eye level with onlookers this was so that all who

passed by would vividly see the consequences of opposing Rome the other

traditional site skull hill or gordon's calvary was identified only about a

hundred and seventy-five years ago it was chosen because of the hills

remarkable resemblance to a skull and because of its close proximity to an

ancient tomb now known as the garden tomb it was also identified because in

the law of Moses animals were to be killed on the north side of the altar of

sacrifice with this hill being north of the temple and in a continuation of the

same mount where the temple stood the place seemed to be an apt location for

the sacrifice of the Lamb of God in 1968 several tombs were discovered in

Jerusalem dating to the time of Jesus within one tomb they found a stone

ossuary or bone box with a nail driven through the

ankle bone of the Buried man this find is extremely significant as it is the

only known archeological find of a crucified person several intriguing

things were learned from this discovery first the nail was not driven through

the front of the foot as is often depicted in art of Jesus but instead

through the side of the ankle directly through the bone this means that a

separate nail was driven through each foot with the feet straddling the cross

instead of in front archeologists were also surprised to find wood fragments on

both sides of the ankle bone this has led to the conclusion that the nail was

first placed through a wood washer before being driven through the foot and

cross the washer would have prevented the victim or family members from

attempting to tear the body from the cross to avoid the excruciating pain of

crucifixion hanging on the cross the victim would be forced to stand upon

these nails driven through his ankles alternating with holding his weight up

through his outstretched nailed hands this process was made all the more

painful as the torn flesh on the back from scourging would be pressed to the

cross as they alternated between hanging from their hands and standing on their

feet it was common for victims to survive for several days on the cross

before dying making Jesus's death after only a few hours very unusual it is

believed that the victim died from asphyxiation or in other words the lack

of air caused from the sheer exhaustion of hanging on the cross the willingness

for Jesus to die on the cross for us in such a painful and agonizing way teaches

us of his incredible love Jesus could have been killed by stoning

or by one of many other ways but he instead chose to be crucified he

submitted to the most heinous and dreaded forms of death so that he could

understand and succor his people because of this none of us can claim that Jesus

cannot fathom our sorrows anguish and pains for he has endured all things

truly as Isaiah so prophetically stated he was wounded for our transgressions he

was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him

and with His stripes we are healed
