Hollow Earth philosophy of planetary suspension


 In theorizing on the philosophy of planetary suspension Mr. Keely
writes:- As regard planetary volume, we would
ask in a scientific point of view-How can the immense difference of
volume in the planets exist without disorganizingthe harmonious
action that has always characterized them? I can only answer this
question
properly by enteringinto a progressive synthesis, starting on the
rotating etheric centres that were fixed by the Creator with their
attractive or accumulative power. If you ask what power it is that
gives to each etheric atom its inconceivable velocity of rotation or
introductory impulse, I must answer that no finite mind will ever be
able to conceive what it is. The philosophy of accumulation,"
assimilation, Macvicar calls it, "is the only proof that such a power
has been given. The area, if we can so speak of such an atom,
presents to the attractive or magnetic, the elective or propulsive,
all the
receptiveforce and all the antagonistic force that characterizes a
planet of the largest magnitude; consequently, as theaccumulation
goes on, the perfect equation remains the same. When this minute
centre
has once been fixed; thepower to rend it from its position would
necessarily have to be as great as to displace the most immense
planet that exists. When this atomic neutral centre is displaced, the
planet
must go with it. The neutral centre carries the full load of any
accumulation from the start, and remains the same, for ever balanced
in the eternal space.


  Mr. Keely illustrates his ideas of "a neutral centre" in this way:-
We will imagine that , after an accumulation of a
planet of any diameter-say, 20,000 miles more of less, for the size
has nothing to do with the problem-there should be a displacement of
all the material, with the exception of a crust 5000 miles thick,
leaving an intervening void between this crust and a centre of the
size of an ordinary billiard ball, it would then require a force as
great to move this small central mass as it would to move the shell
of 5000 miles thickness. Moreover, this small central mass would
carry
the load of this crust for ever, keeping it equi-distant; and there
could be no opposing power, however great, that could bring them
together. The imagination staggers in contemplating the immense load
which bears upon this point of centre, where weight ceases. This is
