Is the Earth's Core an Empty Space Instead of Fiery Lava? A New Theory About Tectonic Plates and Magma | Forum

I've been thinking about something recently, and I wanted to bring it up here for discussion. Could it be possible that the center of the Earth isn't what we've long believed? Instead of a core made entirely of fiery lava, what if the center is a large space (or large vacuum), perhaps mixed with rock and water? This would make the Earth a bit lighter and might change our understanding of its internal structure.

Now, imagine the Earth's large tectonic plates not "floating" on a sea of molten rock but descending in a pyramidal shape toward the center of the Earth, almost like ships on the sea. These plates, which have originated from ancient nebulae, could have magmatic lava inside them, similar to how a ship stores fuel for its journey. In this case, the magma would exist within the tectonic plates themselves rather than at the Earth's core.

This could shift our understanding of how tectonic movements and volcanic eruptions work. Instead of the Earth having one giant, fiery core, the magma could be distributed within the plates.

Does anyone else find this idea interesting, or do you think it's completely far-fetched? Could there be any scientific basis for this, or are there reasons why the current model of the Earth's core holds up better? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Scientists' "old" approximate calculation shows that the Earth's weight is 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000 tonnes. In this model, Earth's weight would be roughly halved.
