Could Mars Have A Hollow Core?
Nature does not make things hollow for the most part. The only well
known object I can think of is the tiny Bucky Ball that is made up of 60 carbon atoms. It is a very strong structure. Keep in mind that carbon and iron make steel,and that is a very strong compound. Now lets bring our thoughts to the time Mars volcanoes were erupting. Its core was liquid iron with a sphere of solid iron,and carbon around it. The liquid iron was pushed out to the surface,and that left the only the solid iron and carbon that was 250 miles thick. To add to this this hollow core from collapsing it had gases trapped under great pressure pushing outward. Mars might have had a magnetic field in its history,but with a hallow core it is not possible. I estimate the size to be 135 miles in diameter from east to west(equator) and 128 miles from north to south(pole to pole) Bert |

JohnZ Strange or maybe not strange enough ? We know more about the
core of the sun than that of the core of our Earth. Is that not strange. We know more of the death of a star than our own death. Is that not strange? Funny when people like you that think my thinking is strange they defend me by saying "My thinking is good but needs to be a lot more strange" Weird is the word for strange they most commonly use Go figure Bert |

How did you come up with the measurements for the core? BV. |

BV Core measurements came out of what the inward pressure to be. If
you say the walls of the sphere have to be stronger(thicker) I can always make the gas trapped inside(mostly hydrogen,helium,and iron oxide) having a greater pressure. It is my own theory. BV if you read it in Sci. America Mag you would be more apt to believe it(YES) Why believe me I'm just a guy that has studied natures mysteries all his life,and likes to think in every direction. I think Mars having a hollow core is far out thinking. I started my post with Nature (gravity) makes few things hollow. BV Just think if say a planet was mostly hollow than where would its center of gravity be? Greater density is always at an objects core. That is why protons are 1830 times heavier than electrons. That is why uranium,gold,iron and nickel make up the Earth's core. Bert |

Bert Yo Bert chill...once again...I am not doubting your theory, I am just trying to learn more information about the topic you presented. I agree on the concept of the core being more dense them the outer regions, which is why I am confused by the concept of gravity creating a central hollow core. Which is why I asked for more information. Are you suggesting the gaseous core is more dense then the rock above it? BV. |

BA Im laughing for I've scuba dived all my life,and I know what gases
can do. I think the record for scuba diving is about 250 feet. Why are we not crushed by that great water pressure? When you answer that we will go from there. You keep putting the ball in my court now its in yours,and when I know you know why I will continue Bert PS Please no help from the audience. |

If by asking you to explain your ideas past a state of ambiguity is putting the ball in your court, then I stand guilty. You stated that you believe gravity created Mars with a hollow core. I am simply trying to understand you idea. How would an immense gravity field create such a large dense object yet leave it's core hollow? You suggest it is full of gas. My limited knowledge of the solar system tells me this is exactly opposite of what we know about the known planets. I understand a compressed gas can exert force on it's container, I am not doubting that. I am simply curious as to how you arrived at your idea, but don't bother explaining your idea, no, no, no. By all means deflect with sophomoric responses as you always do. BV. |

BV If I had to say does Mars have a solid or a hollow one,let me say
I'll go with solid.I again repeat nature does not like hollow objects and again point out the bucky ball is an exception,and its also very tiny(yes) However if there could be a planet with a hollow core Mars has some of the physics to make this idea possible. I posted this to be discussed with good science. it makes you think. To think or not to think "that is the question" To think or not to think "that is the rub" To think for yourself Takes wit" To think in every direction is the way to go. Out of man's "id" came thinking Bert |
