Flat Earth makes no sense
The idea of a flat Earth and the concept of a hollow Earth are often considered separate theories, though both challenge conventional scientific understanding of the planet’s shape and structure. The Hollow Earth theory suggests that the Earth is not solid but instead has a vast inner space, often imagined to be home to advanced civilizations or strange phenomena. This would imply that the Earth is spherical or at least curved to some extent, allowing for the internal structure needed to create a hollow space.
On the other hand, the Flat Earth theory asserts that the Earth is flat and disc-shaped, with no curvature. This model typically doesn’t allow for a hollow interior, as a flat Earth would need to have a different kind of structure, one that wouldn’t accommodate a hollow cavity. However, there may be a way to reconcile the two, proposing that the “hollow” aspect of the Earth could be contained within a flat disk. In this case, they might imagine that the Earth’s surface is flat, but there exists an inner world or cavernous space beneath the surface, which could still hold elements of the hollow Earth idea.
Ultimately, while these theories can be mixed in some speculative discussions, they contradict each other when considered under traditional scientific models.
