OK Steven - first, let's be clear that I do not espouse this theory as it stands now.
However, it deserves a fair hearing. It may not fly, but it has not been shot down effectively by the mainstream. In fact, the counter arguments are lame. In fact, there are parts of it that might fit quite well into the mainstream view - such as expansion being 'an initial stimulus' for starting and intensifying the process of continental drift / subduction. The end result is a bit of both. The earth may have been smaller 4.5 billion years ago, but instead of 400% smaller, only 25% (the numbers are meaningless except to express the point that even a small difference could be important if we acknowledge that both views can coexist). As for f/H "normalizing" after "arrival" ... yes, that is a good observation, and could be the major factor driving expansion ... yet, you ask the question about the "water problem" ... well, it can be observed that you may have answered the question with the setup, no? Most "rock" - granite, limestone, sandstone etc is an oxide. Shale contains lots of carbon. What happens when a neutral and very dense form of hydrogen, expelled from the solar corona... ... which may have been 100,000 times denser (if were Rydberg matter) first sinks to the core of earth and later, when it absorbs sufficient heat within the earth, expands and bonds chemically with its surroundings ... ... catch my drift :) If you said - it probably forms water, with some of it forms abiogenic oil (the Gold hypothesis), then go to the head of the class... There could have been far less water 4.5 billion years ago, and some of it has been "manufactured" by the ongoing solar f/H process. Some oil and natural gas may also have an inorganic origin. Jones -----Original Message----- From: OrionWorks - Steven Vincent Johnson Jones, On the surface (no pun intended) this is an absolutely absurd hypothesis. ...and yet, I love it! Well shoot! We know stars expand and shrink during their epic life times. So... why not planets too? What mechanism has been theorized that would make planets like our Earth (and Mars) expand? Oh! I know! Bunches of hydrinos normalizing back to the normal ground state???? Yeah, that's the ticket! But I wants-ta know: where wuz all the ocean water before Earth expanded. Laying on top of everything? Maybe Earthj was originally WaterWorld. Watch out for those "Smokers"! Oh! I don't care! This is still an elegant hypothesis! :-) A+ Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks From: Jones Beene [mailto:jone...@pacbell.net] Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 9:58 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: [Vo]:Theory of Little Pops & Evidence in A Growing Earth! As controversial as the subject is, the Wiki article is balanced, if not leaning towards the minority viewpoint: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanding_earth Here is what is said about Adams: One prominent present day advocate of an expanding Earth is comics artist Neal Adams,[34] who calls his ideas "Growing Earth Theory". He believes that an Earth with half its present radius would allow the continents to fit together perfectly, completely closing both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Adams has made video animations that graphically illustrate his hypothesis. His divergence from older versions of Expanded Earth is his proposed mechanism of expansion, in which new mass is created by some sort of electron/positron pair production within the core of the Earth.[35][36][37] From: Wm. Scott Smith You don't even need a Big Bang if you have enough "Little Pops" Evidence that this is so!!! The Earth Grows!!! http://www.nealadams.com/nmu.html ________________________________________
