In stories of a hollow Earth (Burroughs' Pellucidar and Mike Grell's Warlord comic, to name two) there is a small sun at the centre of the Earth. This could work if it had negative mass, hence repelling and being repelled by ordinary mass, explaining why there is outward-pointing gravity at the inner surface. (Of course, it doesn't fit in any way with seismic measurements of our planet, but for fantasy, it is an acceptable explanation.) Klaus Æ. Mogensen – Klaus Æ.
