I would say Expanding Earth is closer to being a legitimate theory while Hollow Earth was typically relegated to myth and superstition such as the belief that Hell is at the center of the Earth or that there are Earths within the earth like something out of Jules Vern.

Not sure anymore what the figures are, but our world recieves many thousands of tons of dust from space each year, which may account for an increase in size and mass over protracted time-frames.

Both are pretty ridiculous. They are interesting theories but none of them have the scientific credentials to back them up. Neither theory can compete with real science.

Those would be meteorite particles or cosmic dust, they would be detectable as such, they wouldn't be able to coalesce into extra rocks or miles and miles of soil made of the same stuff Earth is. Any increase in the mass of the Earth from such particles would be negligible if noticeable at all.

I think that if the "expanding earth theory" is true (which i do think it is), it would also mean that the earth is hollow...
both theories only work if they have each other..
I cannot picture a situation of expanding earth being logical, with the earth being solid..

Which theory is more plausible: Expanding Earth theory or Hollow Earth theory?
