Thomas Burnet
Thomas Burnet (circa 1635-1715) was a British theologian and philosopher best known for his work 'Telluris Theoria Sacra' (The Sacred Theory of the Earth), published in 1682. His theories proposed a 'hollow Earth' concept, suggesting that the Earth's oceans were sourced from its interior, a notion that sparked both intrigue and skepticism among his contemporaries. Burnet's blend of theology and speculative cosmology influenced later scientific and literary works, including those of notable figures like Isaac Newton and Jules Verne. His ideas, while not accepted in scientific circles, continue to inspire imaginative narratives about the Earth and its mysteries.
