why would anyone take this journal seriously, he did not take something back from the other side like rock sample, plant sample, animal sample, bones of the giant or scientific measurement of the inner sun.
personal testimonial is the lowest form of evidence in science.
I would say ..
1.) he didnt even know he would go to the inner earth. ( unplan trips )
2.) He is not a science person, hes a fisherman.. You know our folklore about creatures in the sea. They saw it , they tell it. Expect them to take sample while in their mind is full of fear? i doubt it.
3.) If you crash a ship in the icey cold water. Would you look for your bag of proof? Either your story lives or it dont.
4.) Weird part is, he mention "communicate by air", in those days there is no such thing as radiowave until 1878. His story is at 1829.

Assuming that this internal sun is running on regular fusion that's used by the sun, we'll have a ball consisting mostly hydrogen at a very high temperature surrounded by an atmosphere that contains oxygen. Last that I've heard, a hydrogen and oxygen mixture is very flammable and a fusion reaction is more than enough to spark an ignition. The resulting fireball will consume all available oxygen molecules. Any oxygen breathing organism would be dead in such an environment due to lack of breathable oxygen. The same goes for any combustion based machinery like airplanes as well.
Question would be ..
1. How much hydrogen and oxygen to make an explosion?
2. "The resulting fireball will consume all available oxygen molecules". If you look at the Sun, its still burning .. Without Oxygen.
3. What if .. like earth, there is an ozone layer on the inner sun. Earth have magnetic poles and ozone layer. What if.. ozone in the inner world are much higher?
