If a theory becomes 'common knowledge' it is called a religion! And plate tectonics seems to be a religion within 'science'.

[coturnix19]

@VanHaybrook whis religion is supported by the direct observation of gods with gps systems?

[SilenzioDiEsistenza]

@VanHaybrook i'm sure that only counts to pseudo-scientists... i've noticed that the greater scientists take with them a healthy amount of skepticism, even to the most evident laws of nature... look at richard feynmann, einstein... even though they were not perfectly free of beliefs, they came close to some kind of mystical view to science, where no truth is definite but at the same time the desire to become all-inclusive, embracing all that is reality through science..

[SilenzioDiEsistenza]

that was their strength, and at the same time weakness, as this endeavour to find all inclusive science may be endless, even when physics, biophysics, neurology and all sciences are combined by one theory... there is no saying this theory is more then a hypothesis as definite as the lives of those who keep it -in mind-

At 6:59, the ridge is clearly way too big to fit Africa.

Also at 8:22, the "transform faults" are shown to be offset from the moment of rifting, which is impossible since it is the offsets of these faults which make the fit of Africa with the ridge so poor, i.e. the offsets must have happened sometime after the original rift.

Despite the fact that this is realy old it's still quite interesting
