Famous pieces of nonsense

Famous pieces of nonsense

The "China Syndrome" is on par with the "flat Earth" theory; both concepts contradict the laws of classical mechanics.

If any object were to somehow penetrate—by whatever unknown or hypothetical means—to the very center of the Earth, it would remain trapped there, unable to ascend back to the surface. After all, any movement from the Earth's center toward its surface constitutes an ascent.

This same argument serves to put the "flat Earth" idea to rest.

Such nonsense is repeated with complete ease, tolerated by physicists who lack the inclination to engage in the pseudo-intellectual chatter that often fills afternoon discussions.
