Expanding Planets - The Earth Is Growing?

Hot on the heels of the global warming cause debate, today I discovered Neal Adams’ animations of planetary surface expansion. These animations demonstrate his theory that all the continents of the Earth were once joined in a land mass which covered the entire surface of a much smaller Earth (1/4 of the current size in fact). Water existed in shallow pools over much of the Earth, but it’s only the expansion of the Earth’s size over millions of years, and the subsequent creation of new surfaces, which has caused there to be any oceans. Adams hypothesises that the bottom of the ocean is only between 70 to 180 million years old. He also expands his theory to apply to all planets of the universe, including their moons. If you’re interested in that sort of thing take a look at Neal’s ‘New Model of the Universe‘ online videos; they’ll certainly challenge the geology theories you were taught at school!
