The Earth is Growing

Watch this video. It proposes the theory that Earth has grown over its 4.5 billion year life. This has been turned away by science before, when technology was mediocre at best. But now, the evidence is starting to solidify. Instead of Earth always staying the same size (when, and where in life have you ever seen something organic stay the same size?), Neal Adams shows how all the continents fit together on an Earth roughly half the size it is now. Instead of continents drifting across the oceans because of plate tectonics and subduction, the oceans were formed because the Earth expanded more rapidly than before and the oceans spread across the newly created sea-beds. If you're skeptical, watch the movie. One thing to note is the fact that the sea-floor is no more than 70 million years old, where as the continental rocks date back over 2 billion years. This suggests that the oceans are far newer than we imagined and the continents have simply expanded with them.



If you are intrigued by this idea, listen to this series of videos. These are segments of a conversation between Neal Adams and Art Bell from Coast to Coast, talking about this theory and why it's plausible. (Parts 1-11)
