"This week Cristina talks about whats truly deep inside the earth! Maybe there is an earth within an earth. Listen and see. Chelsea talks about the death of a certain religious figure. The Vatican is way more in depth then we ever knew."

The idea that the Earth is follow is by no means new. Many ancient and not-so-ancient civilizations have beliefs of underworlds, such as the Greeks and Christians. Some people erroneously believe that Buddhism has a similar ancient belief, but it was actually developed by a Westerner in the 1800s.

The first known person to suggest it as a scientific hypothesis is Edmund Hailey, inventor of the comet. He actually believe that the Earth it self was inside another hollow earth. Most commonly in these stories is that the entrances to the inside the hollow center can be found at caverns, especially at the North and South Poles. Many expeditions were made to find them and to this day, people search satellite photos in search of them.

What lays within the center of the Earth, aside from the final resting place of Jules Verne, is a matter of some debate. One popular theory is that extinct animals such as dinosaurs and mammoths live there, while others believe the unfortunately not extinct Nazis escaped there. Por qué no los dos?

However, if you're a believer in modern science, there are excuses to believe the hollow Earth is fiction. Testing of seismic waved have developed a blueprint of the Earth (it's still not flat, guys) and extensive drilling has failed to found a route to the center. And, as is the common destiny of all things, the Hollow Earth Hypothesis is a victim of gravity.

Takeaway: These theories have basis in fact.

Albino Luciani was born in 1912, though he is more commonly known by his professional moniker, Pope John Paul I. His desire to become a priest started when he encountered a Capuchin monk when he was 10 years old and his father told him to be on the side of the workers. He joined seminary a year later, where was found to be "too lively". Nevertheless, he was ordained at the age of 23 and made a cardinal in 1973.

When the previous Pope died in 1978, Luciani was elected and opined that his reign would be brief. Having been frail and sickly his entire life, Pope John Paul I (a name he chose deliberately, because he knew there would be more) died at the age of 65, a short 33 days after his election.

By all accounts, he died peacefully in his sleep, smiling through an apparent heart attack. Rumors began to fly that he was actually murdered, in part because the Vatican changed details surrounding who actually found him. Most commonly, it is believed that he was murdered to prevent the corruption of the Vatican bank to become known. While the corruption was genuine, there is no evidence to suggest foul play.

Takeaway: We all contain multitudes.
