How would a "reversed planet" be able to exist?
I want to write a novel situated in a "reversed planet": there are two stars orbiting each other, and there is a little spot exactly in the middle of the two that is suitable for life. A normal planet wouldn't be possible, because of the intense heat, light, and the gravity on the outside of the crust, but the inside could be suitable for life.
The planet is hollow. There is a very bright molten core in the middle of it. The crust is very thick, and although outside of it there is the void of space, neither air nor water pass through it. Because of the gravity of the stars and the rotation of the planet, everything lives pointing outwards: the opposite of our perception of gravity, but the gravity of the dense molten core make it so that the crust doesn't just crumble away.
On the inside of the crust, there is an environment full of life, and there are humanoid species that live there.
I know that a planet like this can't really exist, but I would like to know if there are some real theories or just some crazy "pseudo-scientists" that could "scientifically" back up this extravagant planet.
