Maybe because their technological superiority isn't enough to overcome our numbers superiority, or vast population. To destroy Humans they would have to destroy the Earth, so it wouldn't be worth it. They haven't succeeded in creating a virus that can wipe us all out. so they live on in hiding.

Well, that doesn't match observations with Physics in general. Gravity is at the center of an object, not the outer layer. Part of why I had to laugh. The concept is dis proven by barycenter measurements.
Volcanoes I could see being dismissed as a crustal anomaly (in many way's that is true, but only when considering plate techtonics, which could crimp the hollow world idea).
LOL Gravity is at the centre of an object?
I think you will find science hasnt even proven what gravity is yet or that it even exists at all, so its a little ironic you seem to suggest you know where it is.
If gravity is real, then its everywhere, particles called gravitons need to exist, chargless sub particles that nobody has ever seen, even more mythical than UFOs
Plate techtonics indeed, and what exactly would you know about geomechanics? Im assuming someone told you the world was round right? What else did they tell you?

Why would gravity require a particle pray tell? Gravity is the description of mass attracting to mass. I would like to hear counter arguements on proof as I thought thats what the whole newton thing was... Otherwise, the barycenter effect is used to calculate planetary objects based on star wobble. It exists at a predicted point between two objects.. has to do with the centripital/centrifugal relationships of mass-you know.. orbital mechanics.

Nice position, ignorance as the presentation of reality, however its not really valid is it?
-- Ignorance means lack of knowledge/awareness. Sarcasm isnt ignorance there turbo.
A theory is only a theory, when it ceases to account for situations it needs to be replaced by a theory which does. In this case classical theory is going to be replaced by quantum theory.
--Correct, a theory is in place until disproven at which point it is modified. Quantum isnt needed to predict the weight of a lead bar within the atmosphere. Nor is it needed to say "The earth is too heavy to be hollow.". This is using an elephant gun on a flea.
Now you can dispute it if you wish but even a classical physics student will tell you the same. Classical theory cant deal with high energy physics therefore it is NOT an absolute rule.
-- It was never in dispute turbo, you made it an issue because of an apparant lack of understanding on the topic at hand.
If gravitons are identified in CERN, quantum theory will replace classical theory for gravity. Why is it still used? Simple because if works for basic gravity.
--Nice unneeded reference. Heres another with as much validity: My car is parked outside!
Many theories work in certain situations, thats why they are called theory because new situations arise to challenge it until it can no longer function.
--At least you demonstrate the absolute basic understanding of scientific methodology. You get a point.

Using a theory to predict only what it can predict doesnt make the theory correct. If that were the case theory would be law, and law would be staitionary thus preventing the evolution of science and understanding.
Science evolves through the evolution of theory thus when a new situation occurs existing theory must be tested and where it fails, new theory must rise to replace the old so that a theory which can deal with all known aspects of its cause.
Just because something seems to work in one or two scenarios, that doesnt mean the rule is correct, that simply means that in THAT situation it seems to work.

Your addition? To argue that a hollow Earth is not feasible given the gravity measurements you have read in texts.......
What you seem to be doing is trying to shut down the conversation before it can get started. Stifle discussion. Accept ignorance. All of these things are not favorable on this board....
.....What i AM asking is that you contribute something, honestly, to the conversation. And then not argue how everyone is wrong for not agreeing with you.

There Lies a World Hidden, Mysterious, unknown, and forbidden. Where dwells entities with technologies beyond our comprehension, And knowledge kept hidden from us, in this other dimension.
Some people say that Shambala is hidden in a remote part of the Himalayas. Some call this mysterious kingdom “a house of the immortals”
Hidden in a valley in the remote Himalayas, it is said, is Gyanganj, a home for immortals. Call it Shambala, Shangri-La or Siddhashram, believers say it is this celestial kingdom that shapes our destiny
It is said that there is Gyangaj Yogashram in Tibet, which is a training institute for yogis. Hundreds of such yogis are reported to be living and researching into the mysteries of the inner realms. This Siddhashram isolate in the subtle-physical realm is not accessible or visible to ordinary persons. Only psychically awakened and gifted Sadhaks have the privilege of entry into this Siddhashram.
This Chintamani Stone, which is of extra-terrestrial origin, had supposedly been brought to Earth by emissaries from a planet orbiting the star Sirius and then handed over to Shambhala’s principal resident, the elusive “King of the World,”
Shambala is not just the Buddhist centre of occult wisdom, it is the directing spiritual centre of the next Kalpa, meaning of the next period of the cosmic cycle we are in.
Here's a concept called the Oscillating Ringworld. If we move the Ringworld so that the Sun is no longer in the plane of the Ringworld, gravity will act as a restoring force. With no friction, oscillation occurs and goes on indefinitely, changing the angle of incidence of light on the Ring
