Expanding Earth
A theory that the Earth is expanding and the expansion is what made the continents.

Instead of moving around like the pangea theory, it expands.

The same theory can be applied to Mars:

Not an old idea, goes back to 1933

If there were a lot of geologists on these forums this thread would probably have to move to the proctology forum.
From my non geologist perspective though the theory is really very easy to prove or disprove. Toss out all the conjecture and take measurements. No matter how infinitesimal the growth over a short time it should be measurable. Take a circumference measurement now, and ten years from now take another one.
See? Easy.

But what if your measuring tape is expanding too? (spoilsport!)Cofaidh wrote:If there were a lot of geologists on these forums this thread would probably have to move to the proctology forum.

But if the earth was expanding, wouldn't it be getting cooler?

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

You know, this reminds me of another conclusion of mine: there is less time than there used to be. I mean, we have all the minutes and hours and days and stuff we ever did, but there's less time IN it. Where is it going? One book, The New Policeman, had our time leaking away into Tír na n-Óg with disastrous results for both worlds. Fantasy, you say. Really? Well, maybe, but it's going somewhere. You betcha.
It might make the Earth seem embiggened, you know. With less time, it takes more of it to get from Point A to Point B.

My theory is that the perception of time is inversely proportional to age. In other words, to a 40-year-old, one year seems 1/40th as long as it does to a 1-year-old. It's part of that whole relativity thing. As we get older we slow down, so time speeds up.Nanohedron wrote:You know, this reminds me of another conclusion of mine: there is less time than there used to be.

That's what they want you to think. But ask any youngster. They're feeling the pinch, too.jsluder wrote:My theory is that the perception of time is inversely proportional to age.

O O. You got me started on time. As a child, I thought there was this big conspiracy going on with time and everyone but me was a member of the big secret organization and one day, a man in a suit and hat would come up to me in public, lean over, explain the secret and invite me to be a member too.
My problem with time was that I did not understnad why it took forever for Christmas to finally arrive but a day spent having fun was over before I knew it. And then there were those times that my Mom would say, I'll just be 5 minutes. But it felt way longer and I didn't know how to tell time. And the hands on a clock seemed to all be running at the same speed they always did. And no one else seemed to notice how time was stretching and contracting or they would laugh about it, like they were in on the big secret. And Larry, one of my brothers, who was two years older than me, usually explained these kind of things to me but even he didn't know what I was wanting to ask. And I knew he was smart enough to be a member of the secret organization, so I'd just have to wait to get invited to join the secret organization.
What a relief medications have been for me.
