"The Hollow Earth" by F. T. Ives is a speculative and controversial treatise written in the early 20th century. The work delves into unconventional scientific ideas, particularly focusing on the theory that the Earth is not a solid mass but rather a hollow sphere. Ives aims to challenge established beliefs and scientific theories through the lens of historical perspectives and observations of natural phenomena. At the start of the book, the author presents the concept of "cranks"—those who challenge the status quo—and outlines a perspective that has often been dismissed or ridiculed. He references historical figures, like Copernicus and Galileo, as early cranks whose ideas reshaped our understanding of the universe. As he lays the groundwork for his own arguments, Ives posits that traditional scientific beliefs about the solid nature of the Earth and the mechanisms of natural phenomena, such as earthquakes and volcanoes, need critical examination. The opening sets a tone of inquisitive exploration, inviting readers into a discourse that encourages skepticism towards accepted systems of knowledge.
