Neal Adams states the theory that the tectonic plates of our planet don't move, instead our planet is growing in size:

I don't know who Neal Adams is, nor have I read his detailed thesis.

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)

Has Neil Adams considered....

...


earthquakes and the existence of mountains?

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

...until he repeats the same thing over and over again.

"Earth is not merely expanding by increasing its volume, but rather growing by manufacturing new atomic mass in its core"

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

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 ..

Measurements 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.

Space-time could be expanding, with a corresponding increase in mass.

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

If by space-time you mean the actual fabric of the universe then yes.

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.
