Doesn't sound like it matters, only a matter of time til someone else comes along and has you drinking poison Kool aid.

Yeah I want to know why the Earth ( probably ) is not hollow so that I can explain it to him.

That's not how it works.

You bring us his arguments in favor of a hollow earth and we show you how they're not correct.

It's hard to give a proper counter point to something as stupid as "the earth is hollow because of fish eye lenses". The fact that you can see space and stars obviously debunks the claim. I'm now very curious how this convo went down. Assuming this isn't trolling because it sure feels like it.

You said two things. Earth is hallow and we live inside the hallow area. So if we lived in a cave what is space? Literally you can look up and see we are not in a cave we’re floating around something. Second we’ve dug as deeply as can be reached and there’s always more dirt/stone. We’ve take what would be equivalent to an X-ray of the earth. By sending radio waves through the earth to different points we can measure the thickness of the earth. This is how they estimate time for a volcano to erupt by detecting when magma chambers are filling. You can also measure the volume of earth and compare it’s motion and gravitational effects to see if they equal out. Lots of ways to prove it
