If so, then that would seem to indicate that the early Greek estimates of the earth's circumference were more accurate than previously supposed. If Eratosthenes' estimate of 39,690km was accurate, and today's circumference is 40,008km, then the earth has expanded 318km since 240BC. This would give us an approximate rate of expansion of 0.14145907473309608540925266903915 km per year. However, no increase of the earth's circumference has been noticed or recorded, at least not to my knowledge, which points to a major fallacy in the expanding earth hypothesis.

Hi guys Im a lay person . I am amazed that none of you have seen fit to check out Mr Adams Site where every question any of you have raised has been answered. When Occams razor is applied there can be no other conclusion reached. Take the time to look up all of neals videos and then spend some time thinking instead of reacting. Too many of you are very resistive on this issue to call yourself scientists. Look at this guys this is true it explains why there is so little granite on the surface of earth Granite is lighter than bassalt it will not subduct. There are no signs of subduction any where on the planet . the fact that the continents fit together to form a smaller globe is a biggie yes its difficult to swallow at first . look at ganymeade its obvious as well as mars the moon there is evidence of this all over the solar system dont confine yourselves to earth.

There's a thing called Occam's Razor. If a new hypothesis requires all of our knowledge of gravity, electromagnetism, nuclear, geology and astronomy to go bollocks and be reinvented, just because the hypothesis is somehow "kewl, yo", we're in bad shape fellas. Occam Razor says, chose the simplest. And tectonics is SIMPLER. And, BTW it explains tectonic movements, which do happen, are measured and charted, etc. Of course the Earth can expand, the same way that you guys just shrank in my intelligence grade. Are people nuts? Next time, people will say what, that the Earth is only a few thousand years old? HA, that I won't believe. People could not be THAT dumb, could they? Oh... Simple.

Point 2 Scientists have discovered immense (that's an overworked word but in this case, it means another ocean like what we got) reservoirs of water under continental masses in two places on Earth, in addition, Japanese scientists have discovered when rocks are compressed to depths far inside the Earth, they change and incorporate H2O in large amounts. No need for alien water. Point 3 Carey says planets expand till they explode; well.............. Point 4 Milton/DeGrazie theorize that Sol novaed and produced Jupiter which stayed connected to Sol via a electomagnetic corridor for eons during which our solar system mebers appeared at different times, mostly of late, ala Velikovsky. This is an electric universe theory. This says all bodies seek ions continually, thereby gaining charge, and this results in forcing all planetary bodies to be at neutral distance so as not to give or take charge, which means that they continue to gain and can and do exceed the charge of their immediate environment and explode. Many like theories are on the web. Point 6 Most amazing of all, Io, which w Carey predicted would explode, now has an electrical arc that appeared from Jupiter after the Shoemaker/Levy impact and remained as a permanent Io/Jupiter contact. This site (more serious than it sounds) indicates lots of increase in some for of absorbable energy throughout all the planetary system. Keep reading; I want the electrical theory to win, but then again we have those darn cosmic ray things ( I refuse to call it dark energy) that continue to put in their two cents worth, so............... Point1

There have been other super continents in our distant past, Gondwanaland is only the last of many so……………. expansion and contraction says a lot there.

Point 2

Spinning may be also one reason for expanding - which should happen mostly at the equator. (I wonder How fast the spinning rate should be in order to stay on this planet - and the dinosauruses on top the equator... on the other hand - too much spinning could gyroscope us from the orbit... and when the spinning slows down, we might be drawn closer to sun). If the spinning-rate was higher, Nights would be so short that the lizzards and like would not slow down much. No use for warm blooded animals then. And if we add up the fantasy side. Imagine if a species of higher intelligence played pool and sent the watery dna mashball towards earlyearth an experiment in mind… (twilight zone stuff). Sending life instead of dumb orbiters. Anyways … I write too much here. If the surface was all water in the early days, and the expansion has brought up the land, that explains the gradual climbing up from the sea. As it expands and expands it might just burst into pieces one day, partly because of the density difference between earth and water and the unequal division of these two while spinning. Thanks.

We certainly don't know them all now, but many theories from the past were based on knowledge in those times. We have all grown since then an I'm sure the knowledge will continue to grow - as long as religions don't try to keep us in the Dark Ages. It's our duty as an intelligent race to find the answers and progress, not just live as sheep. All very interesting questions hubaa and I’m sure one day we are going to work out the answers.

Theory of low gravity when there were Dinosaurus must be wrong - unless most of the water and some gravel came from the sky after that age. Could it be that the moon is actually whats left of an object that collided with earth to a near stop? (and set us finally at the optimal orbit regarding life) Could that object have brought all the water? We dont see much of the alterations under the surface of water. Is the great grave by the Marianas widening? Or getting deeper? If its expanding, shouldnt the gravity on surface be reducing?
