ABSTRACT: The prevalent view endorses that the force of
gravitation of the earth is directed towards the centre of the planet, in
consequence of which, temperature and pressure at the deepest part of the planet must be very high. This
view leads to the conclusion that the inner core or deepest part of the planet,
though constituted of iron through which magnetic lines of force emanate,
cannot be magnetic. The author has shown that amongst the earth’s three
geospheres, fluid outer core that occurs between mantle and inner core, is a
void zone which, because of the association of some particles from the mantle,
apparently shows fluid characteristics. Occurrence of a virtually void zone in
the planet’s deep interior separated by a solid mantle and iron inner core would generate a
reversely directed gravitational force due to which pressure and temperature at
the deepest part of the earth would be sufficiently low. Hence, the earth’s
solid inner core, constituted of iron, is a dipolar permanent magnet. The paper
envisages that the concept of reverse gravity presented here needs to be
validated by physicists since it is an original view. The concept put forward
here, not only explains the cause of earth’s magnetic phenomena, but also
elucidates continental drifting and several other features of the planet in a
scientifically accepted manner, thereby refuting the possibility of occurrence
of convection current in the mantle which is solid and rigid.
