Yes! The Earth is Expanding. Part 4 of 14.

[jreed136]

@grishtak THANK you. Finally someone sane. Good lord. People are loony. So many people trying to explain something highly scientific unscientifically... With little or no understanding of science or even basic physics.

[jtyson55]

Pointing out problems with Plate Tectonics does not equal support for his hypothesis.

[chm4das]

How does this theory account for life and evolution? I'm pretty sure life was around in the permian if not before. Where did life arise if there was practically no ocean?

[datzfast]

@chm4das the expanding earth,and plate tectonics neither need evolution to explain them, only time and dating are requied

[fraustrated]

Earth Expansion has its proof in the Receding Seas. Why has sea level dropped by 16000 feet since pre historical

times? The answer must be that the Planet has Expanded. Is this concept so hard to grasp? Yes it is for we dont even know that the seas have receded by such a large margin. Worse yet we still dont even know that the recession is still going on. We have to throw out old concepts like Isostatic Rebound, Sea level Datum and Mountain Growth. Check Sea Levels that is the key deception QED

[techgeol]

Check your facts; sea level rise and fall is a well studied and understood concept.

Sea level doesn't just fall... 20,000 years ago it was much lower than it is today. Ice caps.

[omnise]

@techgeol well understood or well measured?

[mrlungsballs]

@fraustrated But the theory holds that ALL mass is being created constantly for the Earth to expand, including water. Thus there should be NO water depletion.

[lostbuffalo]

@mrlungsballs Not necessarily... if our water is gathered from cosmic sources and the heavy elements are created in the earths core...

How can mass be created?

Lots and lots of energy... e=mc^2

the kind of energy the dynamic core of the earth draws in from the sun via it's magnetic field.

it is highly probable that in the gravitational forge at the center of the earth is an engine creating mass from energy.

[lostbuffalo]

@mrlungsballs If you were to calculate the mass of the increase in earth's volume required to cause this expansion... it may be commeasurate with the amount of energy absorbed by the earth from the sun over the period of time that the earth has been expanding.

the earth has older mountains and faults exigent in the continental crusts making me believe that something else has happened before.

perhaps the size of the planet in earths position in the solar system is set by the sun's field action.

[lostbuffalo]

@mrlungsballs what if as according to the sumarians there was a planet here called Tiamat which was much larger. through some collision it was broken in 3 one part becoming the moon, one part becoming earth and the other becoming the asteroid belt.

what if the size of tiamat was due to the solar force being the engine of matter creation in the solar system instead of the planets being formed from gathered matter.

Research Tewari, Nordberg, and the balls of light theory

[a31ford]

@fraustrated I aggree with you, and here is a simple answer. "Mass vs. Volume" Iron, (the main component of our core) is made more dense, when hammerd while hot (eg: sword making), is it so hard to understand that the core is "relaxing a bit" the mass is still the same, BUT, the volume is changing, the magma that is coming to the top at the rifts, and volcanoes has a higher iron content than older lava, (eg: volcanic islands), the fact that the sea bed is newer near the rifts is a no brainer.

[FyreWyngz]

This is an IMPORTANT perspective but - GAWD! - it's just PAINFUL trying to stay focused. For as much as I'm fascinated by this topic I don't know that I can finish this series!

[huyked]

I don't know. I find it QUITE FASCINATING, and not slow at all. :D

[SquirrelGott]

@FyreWyngz More energetic speakers are easier to listen to.

[GrandAbbot]

If you can listen to this stuff on your computer while you are in the office -- you can double your productivity.

1) You can do your work

2) You can feed your brain

It truly makes the boring days of labor fly by, while transforming your brain.

[dehilster]

Antartica is a killer for Plate Techtonics. It's all over folks!!!

[RideMyBMW]

"Antartica is a killer for Plate Techtonics"

That`s the wrench in their little "Tectonic" gears. Can`t get around Antarctica.

[royb673]

its not the continent that moves,

its the entire plate, which contains the continent, that moves.

do you have a reasonable argument to dismiss subduction? cause i havn't heard one yet

[Narasamsa]

If you have google earth you can actually see where subduction occurs, mostly in the northern part of the pacific ocean, you can tell that the ocean floor is folding over itself, unfortunately it's not happening everywhere plate techtonics would need it to in order to explain all of the missing landmass that is supposedly being swallowed by the earth in this way.

[BigNewGames]

If subduction happened then wouldn't offshore islands get closer to the mainland? See Age of The Ocean Floor by World Data Center-A for Marine Geology and Geophysics Data Center. Also see National Geographic World Tectonic Map. If you imagine removing each era in expansion the earth would be smaller. The ocean floor map is great because it shows the world model in 3d. You can see the height of the continents and how it would all fit together if the earth were smaller.
