Plate tectonics and continental drift have been taught to me from a very early age.
I frequently found myself staring at geological formations, wondering how on earth, they were formed. It sort of made sense, and what I didn't understand, I figured that it had all been studied, and some expert had already figured it all out, and there was no point in exploring the subject any further. Now, I have recently discovered that there were other theories floating around: http://www.geocities.com/capecanaveral/lau...98/EARTHEXP.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Warren_Carey Now there are stories, of the Earth being only 6000 years old, and a huge flood that covered the world, and predictions of a firery future... However, I find little, outside a few human scribbles, to support these stories. But, I do see a grain of truth in the demonstration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJzic3kk4_g Proof that the Earth has become larger. ...and that's about all. imo, lunk |

Yes, the Earth has been slowing down as it has grown.
Maybe not entirely because of it's growth. Even at this, somewhat, faster rate of spin, on a prehistoric Earth, the fact that mega giant creatures existed can only be explained by there being less gravity then. So far in this thread, I hope to have shown that all the continents fitted perfectly together on a smaller, earlier Earth; dinosaurs were bigger then, than possible today, because there was less gravity and (thanks JFK) the smaller Earth was spinning faster. The Earth grew and the same is true for most other heavenly bodies. I also gave a more reasonable explanation for the formation of mountain ranges, valleys, plains, volcanoes and their locations then explained by the present, demonstrably wrong, theory of plate tectonics. imo, lunk |
