I thought the Earth was "porous" in a sense, so not really solid and not really hollow.

I do get the sense of the 'porosity', where the liquid at the core seeps out and up through 'less solid' or cracked parts of the mantle. Perhaps the same effect as on a merry-go-round occurs with the degree of 'seepage' outward mimicking tucking legs or stretching them out, affecting the rotation speed.
