Orange Peel Globe - A Growing Earth Model

Turn an orange into a globe in 30 minutes!
Is it possible to cut out the continents in orange peel from one orange, using all the orange peel? This video shows it is possible!

@TREMILBERG 1. Cute. 2. Or you could realize that there is NO scientific evidence for EE at all. To include the observed fact that the earth is NOT growing. and that plates are in motion. 3. ETC.

You have yet to provide evidence of growth

[TREMILBERG]

@danschaoticmind 1. I promise, I will stop hinking logically, since that is not part of the scientific method. 2. I will immediately write to James Maxlow, Giancarlo Scalera, Mike Herndon and other scientists who promote EE, to tell them that you said there is NO evidence for EE and Tons of evidence for the current model of plate tectonics. I´m sure they will take your word for it and all abandon their ideas and devote the rest of their carreers to the magical world of Plate Tectonics:-)

3. :P

@danschaoticmind That's Neal Adams for you.

I made a video on my channel about how he blocks people who disagree with him. On another YT account, I lasted a 3 years on his channel! Not bad ;-)

I'm not surprised my comment has been marked as spam. Neal is unaware of irony. Lesser fleas, and all that...

I haven't read the Nature article about the Tohoku earthquake yet. I'm sorry to hear you lost your property in that incredible event. Words fail.

I'll check the article and get back to you.

[danschaoticmind]

@ScienceWars Thanks for the heads up. I find it odd that comments which point out HOW the method works, or how there are explicit refutations often get marked as spam.

FYI the comment I am responding to (Where you said my comment has been marked as spam) has also been marked as spam.

Side note; Have you gotten the chance to read over some of the findings published in Nature about the Tohoku earthquake? I only recently found out about them and the readings are astonishing.

@TREMILBERG If you are able to think logically then you should be able to do independent research, analyze what has been published for review and see that there is NO evidence for EE and Tons of evidence for the current model of plate tectonics. Geodesy and GPS measurements of island motion over time in the pacific basin alone is enough of a nail in EEs coffin. So it seems to me that while you may claim to be thinking logically, you really are not well versed in the scientific method.

@TREMILBERG "It did not make sense. it looked logically impossible to me."

It looked logical to early man that the Earth was a disk, and the sun went around it.

Logic is not a part of Science, or at least - not a path to truly understanding the Universe. Nature is under no obligation to be logical or comprehensible to humans. That is an anthropomorphic view of things, and as quantum physics has shown - they just 'aint so.

[ScienceWars]

@TREMILBERG "but string theory, branes and multiple dimentions and universes, may- in part at least, be just science fiction."

That's a bit of a strawman, if you don't mind my saying.

You are comparing what is the absolutely blood-spattered cutting-edge of science with fundamental planks of science, like thermodynamics (energy must be created in order for EE/GE to be correct, violating a fundamental law that has never, ever been observed to fail.)

Branes, etc. are science *exploration*

[ScienceWars]

@TREMILBERG "I am refering to the psychological approach to something new by the human mind"

Trem. That door swings in *your* direction too, yes? Let's leave aside your notion that EE is right for a moment. How resistant are *you* to PT?

You don't know the details. You've done no work on the subject. You've only analysed the most broad-level and basic element of geology it is possible to study (a map) and concluded all PT, and science, is wrong!

Who is really resistant to new ideas here?

[ScienceWars]

@TREMILBERG A better analogy (for EE) is this:

A Norman-period castle builder (let's call him 'Norm') has a tape measure.

He uses it to construct a castle overlooking the sea, 40m x 40m x 60m.

Trem the Conqueror sees a sketch of Norm's castle and tells him the castle is hundreds of miles long, and that his tape measure is wrong.

Norm is confused. He has the tape measure. He can see the castle. He built every brick. His measurements are right.

Trem demands the castle be demolished.

@TREMILBERG

Trem. Can you not see the inherent contradiction in your general thought on this matter?

"I don´t pretend to be anything but an amateur in geology" <- You admit you don't know much about a subject

"...but I am still able to think logically" <- You then imply in the next breath that you don't need knowledge, just logic to understand a subject!!!

We abandoned that thinking with the Ancient Greeks!

Tell me what you know about blueschist metamorphism. (no Google or Wiki! ;-) )
