- Tectonic plates don't move - Earth is growing
I don't know who Neal Adams is, nor have I read his detailed thesis.pirana6 wrote:

I will however provide my thesis.
Here it is:
Neal Adams is an idiot.
(I should probably look up the phase changes molten iron goes through as it cools, and factor in that some of it is steadily oxidising through volcanic eruptions and so on but meh)
Fuck Israel
Has Neil Adams considered....

earthquakes and the existence of mountains?

A little bit of bitterness at the end, but interesting.

Actually, if that hypothesis is correct, then it would apply to other celestial bodies. Not a miracle.Shocking wrote:

I see it as a problem if the sun and all the other planets were increasing in size simultaneously.

This video has been out there for some time now. I remember Neal actually showed up in the Bad Astronomy forum trying to defend his video, and iirc he was sufficiently debunked there as well.
There's just too much support for plate tectonics. For instance ..

also.. lolMeasurements with modern high-precision geodetic techniques show that the Earth is not currently increasing in size to within a measurement accuracy of 0.2 mm·y1. Furthermore, the motions of tectonic plates and subduction zones measured by a large range of geological, geodetic and geophysical techniques supports plate tectonics. Mass accretion on a scale required to change the Earth's radius is contradicted by the current accretion rate of the Earth, and by the Earth's average internal temperature: any accretion releases a lot of energy, which would warm the planet's interior. Expanding Earth models based on thermal expansion contradict most modern principles from rheology, and fail to provide an acceptable explanation for the proposed melting and phase transitions.
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v3 … 266a0.html Examinations of data from the Paleozoic and Earth's moment of inertia suggest that there has been no significant change of earth's radius in the last 620 million years.

You cant make something out of nothing.
Space-time could be expanding, with a corresponding increase in mass.
Fuck Israel
lol wow

If you accept that mass is a by-product instead of the be-all and end-all its not so difficult.

Stuff like this boggles my mind so much that I think I need to be high to fully appreciate it.
This isn't the thread I remember, but he does show up here.

Jesus I wish this were true. Would be so fucking cool.
Unfortunately there are these things called conservation laws which kinda can't be broken. Shame.
