This is more of a science issue than a legal issue. The geode doesn't have enough mass to collapse the hollow core, the Earth does.

My statement concerning the geod is merely offering what is known as "Circumstantial evidence". And Circumstantial evidence, is admissible in a court of law, as I'm sure it was, in the Royal Society's court.
"sufficient mass" in modern science terms generally means above 500000000000000000000 kilograms, and the mass of the earth is more than 10,000 times greater than that, so obviously this is why, according to modern science, objects the mass of Earth are too massive for the rocks they are composed of to substantially resist the forces of gravity. The Earth has mountains and valleys that are about like scratches on the scale of a spherical billiard ball, and it's slightly non-spherical due to its spin, but its shape is very consistent with modern theory.
"A planet is a celestial body that (a) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape...
There's no such thing as outside the force of gravity, which follows the inverse square law so it gets weaker with distance but doesn't go to zero, which is why even very distant Pluto still orbits the sun even though gravity from the sun is much lower at that distance compared to closer orbits.

In which context did he make this observation, under the influence of the force known as gravity, or outside of the force known as gravity. The context would make a difference in my answer.

Slightly more on topic.
Was Newton correct with his research into ancient history?
Is his gravitational math accurate?
3. Explaining gravity
Newtonian gravity theory assumes that gravity propagates instantaneously across empty space, i.e. it is believed to be a form of action at a distance. However, in a private letter Newton himself dismissed this idea:
That gravity should be innate, inherent, and essential to matter, so that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity, that I believe no man, who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking, can ever fall into it.1
Newton periodically toyed with the idea of an all-pervading ether filling his ‘absolute space’, and thought that the cause of gravity must be a spiritual agency, which he understood to mean ‘God’.
The need to postulate an ether is underlined by G. de Purucker:
We either have to admit the existence of [the] ether or ethers, i.e., of this extremely tenuous and ethereal substance which fills all space, whether interstellar or interplanetary or inter-atomic and intra-atomic, or accept actio in distans – action at a distance, without intervening intermediary or medium of transmission; and such actio in distans is obviously by all known scientific standards an impossibility. Reason, common sense, logic ... demand the existence of such universally pervading medium, by whatever name we may choose to call it ...2
According to Newton’s original formula, a gravitational force between two objects equals the mass of one multiplied by the mass of the other — all divided by the square of the distance between the two objects. Then all that is multiplied by an esoteric, hard-to-describe number that physicists call “Big G.”
In 1916, Albert Einstein made sure Newton’s law fit into his theory of relatively, which contends that gravity is only a manifestation of curvatures in space-time. But what if Newton’s math does not match reality? And if Newton is off, would Einstein be off?
crosscut.com...
“We physicists, we’re skeptical of every theory,” explains physicist Paul Boynton of the University of Washington.
Actually, Einstein’s concept of gravity — building on Newton’s work — is just one of more than a half dozen theories of gravity floating around. Most were unveiled in the past 50 years, each harder to understand than the math for Einstein’s theory.

1,500 scientists lift the lid on reproducibility
Survey sheds light on the ‘crisis’ rocking research.

More than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments. Those are some of the telling figures that emerged from Nature's survey of 1,576 researchers who took a brief online questionnaire on reproducibility in research.
The data reveal sometimes-contradictory attitudes towards reproducibility. Although 52% of those surveyed agree that there is a significant 'crisis' of reproducibility, less than 31% think that failure to reproduce published results means that the result is probably wrong, and most say that they still trust the published literature.

Just thought, if the earth was hollow 65 million years ago, would not that gigantic meteor have punched through the crust? Which I presume would have left a hole that would have been there to this day? (the remains of the crater are)
www.lpi.usra.edu...
The Chicxulub crater in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico, is not visible at the surface of the seafloor. Scientists rely on geophysical images for information about its size and shape. This image shows the variations in the gravity field near the buried impact crater. The image shows ring-like structures that extend to about 280 kilometers (175 miles) from the center.
This crater is believed to have formed when an asteroid struck Earth 65 million years ago. This impact is thought to have triggered fires and tsunamis and created a cloud of dust and water vapor that enveloped the globe in a matter of days, resulting in fluctuating global climate changes. The extreme environmental shifts caused a mass extinction of 75% of Earth's species, including the dinosaurs.

And once again, gravitational evidence and a host of other scientific discoveries and achievements over the past 300 years have shown that Halley's idea of a hollow earth has been long since disproved. Volcanoes disprove it for a start. Basic plate tectonics.
davidpratt.info...
Since its formation in 1996, the New Concepts in Global Tectonics Group and its newsletter have become the main focus of organized opposition to the reigning paradigm of plate tectonics. The NCGT Newsletter provides a vital forum where critics and opponents of plate tectonics can present and discuss anomalous data and alternative interpretations and theories. The group is now firmly established, and its activities will remain necessary until it once again becomes possible for a variety of competing hypotheses and theories, and the data underpinning them, to be openly aired and debated in mainstream publications.
Aims include:
1. Forming an organizational focus for creative ideas not fitting readily within the scope of Plate Tectonics.
2. Forming the basis for the reproduction and publication of such work, especially where there has been censorship or discrimination.
3. Forum for discussion of such ideas and work which has been inhibited in existing channels. This should cover a very wide scope from such aspects as the effect of the rotation of the Earth and planetary and galactic effects, major theories of development of the Earth, lineaments, interpretation and prediction of earthquakes, major times of tectonic and biological change, and so on.
4. Organization of symposia, meetings and conferences.
5. Tabulation and support in case of censorship, discrimination or victimization.
Newtonian gravity theory is challenged by various aspects of planetary behavior in our solar system. The rings of Saturn, for example, present a major problem.16 There are tens of thousands of rings and ringlets separated by just as many gaps in which matter is either less dense or essentially absent. The complex, dynamic nature of the rings seems beyond the power of newtonian mechanics to explain. The gaps in the asteroid belt present a similar puzzle.
In 1981 a paper was published showing that measurements of G in deep mines, boreholes and under the sea gave values about 1% higher than that currently accepted.4 Furthermore, the deeper the experiment, the greater the discrepancy. However, no one took much notice of these results until 1986, when E. Fischbach and his colleagues reanalyzed the data from a series of experiments by Eötvös in the 1920s, which were supposed to have shown that gravitational acceleration is independent of the mass or composition of the attracted body. Fischbach et al. found that there was a consistent anomaly hidden in the data that had been dismissed as random error. On the basis of these laboratory results and the observations from mines, they announced that they had found evidence of a short-range, composition-dependent ‘fifth force’. Their paper caused a great deal of controversy and generated a flurry of experimental activity in physics laboratories around the world.5
The majority of the experiments failed to find any evidence of a composition-dependent force; one or two did, but this is generally attributed to experimental error. Several earlier experimenters have detected anomalies incompatible with newtonian theory, but the results have long since been forgotten. For instance, Charles Brush performed very precise experiments showing that metals of very high atomic weight and density tend to fall very slightly faster than elements of lower atomic weight and density, even though the same mass of each metal is used. He also reported that a constant mass or quantity of certain metals may be appreciably changed in weight by changing its physical condition.6 His work was not taken seriously by the scientific community, and the very precise spark photography technique he used in his free-fall experiments has never been used by other investigators. Experiments by Victor Crémieu showed that gravitation measured in water at the earth’s surface appears to be one tenth greater than that computed by newtonian theory.7
Lesson #1: The Earth is NOT a ball of molten lava
The first question everyone asks me when they hear of the Hollow Planet idea is: "Where does lava come from then?" The (completely FALSE) impression schools have created in everyone's minds is that the Earth is this red-hot ball of lava. They then imagine that lava from volcanoes comes from the centre of the Earth.
www.bibliotecapleyades.net...
Ask any geologist or seismologist if this is true and you will discover they disagree. Standard geology and seismology texts tell a different story. Scientists know that most lava is slightly radioactive and they believe it is produced either by decaying radium (decayed uranium) or through stresses in the crust. Lava is created by heat generated within the crust of the Earth. The crust is said to be no more than 20 miles thick, although to be honest nobody has ever actually penetrated the crust so we really do not know what (if anything different) lies beneath it. Scientists will tell you that lava is a crustal phenomenon and all lava comes from no deeper than 20 miles down.
If the Earth were an "ocean of molten lava" then it would actually be subject to tidal pressures and the continents would be broken to pieces as the earth rotated. Scientists say the Earth is actually composed of solid rock for the most part. As you go deeper, the pressures are supposed to be so great that the rock actually flows from extreme pressure. (As you will see, even this may not be really true). But nowhere in modern geology or seismology will you see them saying the Earth is a ball of molten lava.
In fact, the final proof comes from seismology itself. When an earthquake occurs, seismic waves travel out in all directions throughout all the earth. There are two types of seismic waves: P and S. Based on this, scientists know that all of the earth is actually quite RIGID and composed only of rock. The only partial exception is the Outer core.

Don't you see the irony here? You cite a source saying "scientists know that all of the earth is actually quite RIGID and composed only of rock. The only partial exception is the Outer core." Then you contradict your own source, saying it's wrong. You can't even make a coherent self-consistent argument. The seismic evidence you cite is some of the best evidence that the earth isn't hollow.
The evidence can be read many ways, but the simplest to understand, is the earth is hollow.
I like your philosophy, there is no harm at all in exercising ones imagination. And I do agree, we, are expanding into a new awareness, a new paradigm. The old guard, gate keepers want to go down in a fight, sad. There is no compromise in their mindset. Reality, must be viewed through their very old Newtonian Prism.

Maybe the Earth is like a giant RAR or ZIP archive and there is more inside it than the size of it.
Like a few bits can make more bits, so does the Earth make more Earth.
Eventually the entire Earth is unzipped and the Great Plan is revealed.
The Earth is a WAV file of an MP3 file.
We are high quality copies of an inferior source.
We are square waves.
Like a few bits can make more bits, so does the Earth make more Earth.
Humbly, I believe you are correct. But before the paradigm shift can occur, we must prove ourselves worthy, of such an inheritance. I imagine...
We are high quality copies of an inferior source.
Thank you for bringing this up.

Yes, David Pratt has an opinion, just like you, and me. And it should be given just as much weight, as Newtons flawed Theory.
I find your cites to be massively lacking. David Pratt? Seriously?
Who am I?

Subject: do you have any credentials?
Dear Mr. Pratt,
Having explored your site and found some potentially valuable information, I find myself at a loss to explain who exactly you are. You see, as a philosopher (I'm at [...] in Canada) I am always looking for good reference material and your site certainly appears to bring together some important issues in disparate fields which quite elegantly dovetail together, i.e. science, religion, and philosophy. However, I am unable to find *any* credentials at all, any institutional affiliation, anything at all which allows me to verify you as a reliable source. Anyone can synthesize from a layman's perspective and the results of such speculations are totally uninteresting. As of yet, since you don't even post your own CV on your website, I am left to assume that you are nothing more than a moderately convincing pundit/charlatan, devoid of any robust theoretical education in any of the fields you mean to unite. Can you at least tell me that you attended university? I'd like to reference one of your articles in my own work, but unless you can give me some reason to treat your work seriously, I will have to ignore it.
Yours,
[...]

Dear [...],
You're saying that the "potentially valuable information" on my website will become "totally uninteresting" and the work of a "charlatan" unless I've been to a university? I like your sense of humor. I have university qualifications in modern languages, translation, and technical sciences. But I regard this as irrelevant, because I think that what anybody says or writes should be judged on its intrinsic merits. Many of my articles are about fundamental differences of opinion between scientists with equally excellent credentials in a particular field. So a university education does not preclude serious errors, even in one's own specialism. I'm also a great believer in self-education.
Regards,
David Pratt
Yes, yes, I am.

You can lead the horse to water.......but you cant make them think...... well, outside of the established paradigm, anyways.. Thank you very much.

And why shouldn't it? Its quite possible that Atlantis met its end in a massive earth event. But don't trouble yourself with the thought, the Bullhorn, says that was all just a myth, and don't spend any time thinking about it.
