Abstract

One of the most popular movie franchises of late is Legendary's Monsterverse as is evidenced by the gross earnings of the series recently surpassing the two and a half billion dollar mark with the release of $\it{Godzilla X Kong}$. As is typical with many movies of this genre, in order to enjoy them one must suspend their disbelief when it comes to the laws of physics. While there are a plethora of examples of violations of basic principles (the square-cube law being the prime example) the idea of a "gravity inversion" occurring inside of the "Hollow Earth" is among the most debated as well as the most relevant to the storylines of the recent movies. The intent of this paper is to show that, while typical scientific arguments refuting the possibility of such an inversion are definitely completely correct, a slight modification of the conditions assumed to exist inside the planet in these arguments may allow for the inversion to actually occur.
传说中的怪物世界的空心地球中会不会存在重力反转现象?
最近最受欢迎的电影系列之一是传奇影业公司的《怪兽系列》(Monsterverse),该系列的总收入最近随着《哥斯拉大战金刚》($it{Godzilla X Kong}$)的上映而突破了 25 亿美元大关。正如许多同类型电影的典型特征一样,要想欣赏这些电影,就必须放下对物理定律的不信任感。尽管违反基本原理的例子不胜枚举(最典型的例子就是方形立方体定律),但 "空心地球 "内部发生 "重力反转 "的想法是最受争议的,也是与近期电影故事情节最相关的。本文旨在说明,虽然驳斥这种反转可能性的典型科学论点肯定是完全正确的,但只要对这些论点中假定的地球内部存在的条件稍作修改,就可能使反转真正发生。
