Friday, 27 November 2009. Teepee and northern lights. (Light escapes from internal sun? This is a picture mail I received today after TOK. We discussed the hollow earth theory. Theories like this offer us good TOK, critical thinking opportunities. Take a look at this:. What evidence do we need to believe this theory? Are we too quick to dis-believe due to our own biases?
