Can't speak for Auchincloss Brown or Hapgood. And (knowing nothing about cartography or geology) I hardly have a hypothesis so much as a fun explanation for why the US might 'appear' to be lackadaisical about an accepted global phenomenon.
That said, I sure would love to find out answers (but not alternative facts!) 😏 to these questions: 1. How did those Siberian mammoths happen to have tropical grass in their bellies? 2. What event caused them to get buried alive by *that* much snow that rapidly? 3. How was it possible for ancient maps to be right about the existence of a mountain range in Antarctica (that modern science only discovered buried under a mile thick sheet of ice) and YET so wrong about that entire continent being tropical? 4. Why is so much ice accumulating in Antarctica every year? Has this been happening in perpetuity? 5. If a trillion tons of ice piled up in just TEN YEARS, what effect, if any, would long-term accumulation have on planetary motion? Hapgood wasn't a kook (at least, Einstein didn't seem to think so), so I for one am curious why there aren't published studies (or rebuttals) of his ideas instead of passing scorn. BTW, I am new to this forum; the intent of my post was to stimulate thought/discussion on a topic that I found interesting. No offence meant (and none taken). :) Cheers, Nani On Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 4:05 PM, Charles Haynes <[email protected]> wrote: > The first question to ask anyone with a wild new theory is - what would it > take to falsify your hypothesis?
