it is the opposite. he rejects hollow earth. seems like best theory to me, but what do i know?

Well he talks about various layers of Earth... So... Is that "solid"? If the mantle is rotating faster than the nucleus and "skeleton" then... It's not really "solid" is it?

well, he's going with the idea that there is no gas under that, that the earth is a ball not a bubble. From what I understand, planetary formation theory no longer considers aggregation a viable accretion method, and 'counter-rotating epic cyclic vorticies' are the go.

which result in bubbles, not blobs.

The only 'disproof' of bubble earth are Mass estimates, but that only works if you do you mass / volume estimates using flat spacetime. As soon as you add in the curvature, a shell model fits perfectly.

I didn't see where Davidson said he doesn't think there's any gaseous masses of any significance under the crust. I would be very surprised.

I read it in the comments once. Why don't you ask him? he generally replies
