Yes! The Earth is Expanding. Part 11 of 14.

Bunk, the next thing you will hear is the universe is expanding Exponentially ! Or we have more millionaires than ever. Nonsense ! Or people are getting fatter and taller than ever before. So not true. If it was the TRUE scientist would say that the sun was expanding. Or that there is more mass in empty space than in the physical universe.! God made all that exists and no expansion or evolution or population explosion.

Due to rotational or centrifugal forces (they do exist) the Earth must be slowing down in its rotation, if it has increased in size. This makes sense to me.

Vertical motion would be away from the center of the earth, right? If the data's correct, its interesting evidence to support a hypothesis (one you seem to have rejected out-of-hand). So who's Galaleo and who's the Inquisition here? A little less anger and a little more scientific curiosity please.

This is like arguing for an Earth-centered Solar System.

Also, I looked up one of Maxlow's references, where he claims Robaudo & Harrison (1993) claimed they had to Zeroed vertical motion because it was so high, at 18 mm/yr (at 2 min 10 sec)

I downloaded Robaudo & Harrison (1993) and this is what they actually said...

"vertical motion for most stations, even those experiencing post glacial uplift, is well under 1 cm/yr."

Vertical is up or down.

[etzel33]

Yes, vertical is up or down, as in "from the center". Seems to argue for expansion doesn't it?

RIght !
