Has "doomsday" begun already?

Has "doomsday" begun already?







© 2011 By Gary Vey


The horrific earthquake and nuclear meltdown in Japan has shaken the world. There's a discussion ensuing on the internet that the "2012 Doomsday" has begun. It seems appropriate to write about this, since everything else pales in significance. So we dare to ask, "Has the doomsday finally begun?"

Viewzone Editor's Note: I know that attention spans on the internet are short. I will therefore tell you that, yes, I believe a kind of doomsday has begun and it is caused by a cyclical interaction between the Earth and the Sun. I will attempt to explain this as best I can later in this article. It's only a theory for you to consider and I strongly advise viewzone readers to do your own research.

In researching this story I considered some of the most popular prophets of doom on the internet. I've written about them before, but I will describe them again for those who are new to this sort of thing.

The "Time Wave" Theory of Doomsday

Terrence McKenna was a genius who focused his vast intellect on the I-Ching (among many other complex issues), an ancient Chinese system for predicting future trends. His "discovery" was that, hidden in the structure of the I-Ching, there was a fractal pattern of time that could describe the events of human civilization in terms of routine and novel life. Routine life was when civilization copes well and makes quick adjustments to their changing world. This is contrasted by novelty, when civilization struggles to cope with unfamiliar circumstances.

McKenna produced a graph that plotted these trends over time. He called this graph the "Time Wave" and he noted that the graph ended in maximum novelty on the traditional doomsday, December 21, 2012.

We first reported about McKenna's Time Wave Theory, in the Spring of 2010 and noted that some pivotal event was predicted to occur in early July when routine life plateaued. This was believed by many to be the "beginning of the end" for humanity. But this never happened. Another significant date was November 11th of that year when the Time Wave dropped sharply, plunging to the depths of novelty. But that also failed to prove significant.

So, in light of the catastrophe in Japan on March 11th, we thought we'd see how the Time Wave plotted this particular disaster -- certainly a novel event for almost everyone in the Pacific area. The chart below shows the Time Wave predictions.








OK. Unless something dramatic happens with the Japanese nuclear meltdown on March 23rd, it's pretty much a bust. Anyone who knows about McKenna will also be aware that he consumed many hallucinogenic substances and wrote extensively about psychedelics. Does that figure in his obvious miscalculations? Maybe. We'll have to see.

Clif High's Web Bot Program

The Web Bot is a computer program that scans the internet and looks for subtle changes in language, how certain words are used, and analyses this information to predict certain trends in our changing human culture. The web bot has been able to predict the future so well that the it has been used by economists and stock traders with a good to excellent rating.

I've written about the web bot for viewzone before. I became interested when the program's designer, Clif High, started applying his linguistic analysis to social phenomenon and natural disasters. Clif publishes a series of quarterly predictions that foretell "doomsday" in some detail.

Clif High has quite a following. But that following dropped precipitously when he linked doomsday to the BP Gulf oil disaster back in 2010, and even more so when his "Israeli Mistake" -- a nuclear disaster resulting from Isreal's raid on the nuclear facilities in Iraq -- didn't happen.

Clif was quiet for a while and many thought he was finished with his predictions. But he had one last bit of future insight up his sleeves -- the "Expanding Earth Theory". It's not a new theory, and it's not Clif's. But he did always mention some linguistic clues about a "Sun disease" that, in hindsight, mesh with this doomsday theory and could save his credibility. Let's take a look.

Something Old & Something New

If you have ever looked at a map of the world, you have undoubtedly noticed that the East coast of South America appears to mimic the shape of the West coast of Africa. This observation was also noticed by German born geophysicists, Alfred Wegener, who proposed that the continents we see today were once connected. His theory (Kontinentalverschiebung) [1] was ridiculed and dismissed for 40 years because no one could imagine how continents could move and essentially plow through the ocean floor's crust.

But in the 1950s a research ship of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, conducted a deep sea survey of the Atlantic Ocean's floor and discovered an enormous submerged mountain chain which they named the "Mid-Atlantic Ridge" [2][3][4]. It was later discovered that every ocean contains parts of the same, interconnected mid-ocean ridge system. Although the ridge system runs down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the ridge is located away from the center of other oceans.

Close examination of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and other mid-ocean ridges, revealed that these were formed by cracks in the earth's crust which allowed magma to come to the surface, cool and solidify to become new crust. In fact, core samples of the crust on either side of the ridges showed that it was relatively new and spreading out, away from the ridge. At last, Wegener's plate tectonic theory was accepted!

Subduction Zones?

One of the interesting things about paradigms is that they stubbornly refuse to die. The idea that the Earth had never changed persisted, even though Wegener's plate tectonic theory was the new paradigm. Sure, new crust was being formed in the mid-ocean ridges and this was moving the continents, but the size of the planet wouldn't change-- would it?







[Above: Assuming the planet was the same size as it presently is, the original continent, Pangaea, would have been surrounded by a vast ocean.]

To maintain a planet of the same size, there has to be a method to compensate for the new crust being made in the ridges. To solve this dilemma, scientists theorized that the plates sometimes move under other plates in a process called subduction.








[Above: 1 Mid-ocean ridges can be seen all over the planet, adding about a cubic mile of crust each year. Contrast this to the relatively few and dispersed subduction zones Above: 2 around the globe.]








The map above shows the age of the earth's oceanic crust from newest (red) to oldest (blue).

There is no "direct" proof of subduction. No experimental objects have been placed to measure it and no land masses have ever been oberved moving towards each other. [*] So the question arises: is there an alternate theory? And what does this theory reveal about "doomsday"?


The Expanding Earth Theory -- cycles of doom

Shortly after Wegener's continental drift theory was introduced, many people tried to piece together the continents. Some pieces (like South America and Africa) were an obvious fit, but others did not fit together because of the belief that a vast ocean had to be accommodated in the models. Sam Carey, an Australian, dared to solve the puzzle without an ocean and found that the continents fit together perfectly. Of course, this was in the 1930s at a time when Wegener's theory was still being ridiculed and mocked.

But Carey was on to something big... or small. His solution only worked if the Earth was a fraction of its present size. But it worked perfectly. Check this out:







There is strong evidence that the oceans are a relatively recent addition to planet Earth. All the present ocean floors are geologically young [5]. Present-day continents, such as Australia, were formed about 4.3 billion years ago. In contrast, the geologically oldest seafloor formed only 180 million years ago.

The Plate Tectonic model assumes this is because older oceanic crust has been subducted [6]. For this assumption to be correct, an area equivalent to the Pacific Ocean would have had to be subducted under the Americas since the Jurassic period, with no debris or remnants of older oceanic crust left behind. We just don't see that kind of vigorous subduction taking place anywhere on the planet today.

Biologists have looked at ancient plant and animal fossils to determine which continents and oceans they once inhabited. They concluded that, "The balance of evidence seems to require an expanding earth..." [7].

Carey suggested that an experiment should be conducted to measure the expansion and, in 1986, his suggestion was carried out.

A pair of receivers [A & B below] were set up at different locations on the earth, each looking at the same quasar and listening to its radio emissions.[8] Quasars are radio sources which serve as a universal beacon. Because of the curvature of the Earth, one location (A) was slightly nearer to the quasar signal and so received it first. Using the time delay and a little geometry, the difference in the distance between the two stations and the quasar can be determined. If the same measurements are taken at a later time, when the two receivers are oriented with respect to the quasar as before, if receiver B has moved closer to the quasar, the delay time between them will be less.




Since we know that the distance between the two receivers [A and B] has not changed, evidence of their apparent change in distance from the Quasar [C] must be attributed to the fact that the curvature of the Earth has lessened from expansion. Over a ten year period, experimental results showed an earth expansion of about two centimeters per year (2.0 cm/yr), while the actual surface separation [A and B] remained constant.

This may sound small, but the volume is enormous.


Giraffes and Dinosaurs

If the Earth were the size of Carey's model, 250-million years ago, it would likely have had just 50% of its present gravity. As it grew larger the gravity would increase. Proponents of the Expanding Earth theory are quick to note that this explains some mysteries that have puzzled archaeologists and biologists. It seems that they are at a loss to explain how animals such as dinosaurs could have evolved to be so huge.

Giraffes have a maximum height to which their necks can grow. This is determined by the pull of gravity on the blood in the arteries travelling up to their brains. A height over 17 feet apparently reaches the limits of heart muscles. But dinosaurs were much larger. How did they achieve adequate blood perfusion in their brains?

According to researcher and author, Stephen Hurrell:

"To understand why dinosaurs were so large we need to turn the question of their large size on its head and ask why the animals of today don't grow as large as the dinosaurs.

As any animal becomes larger its mass (and hence its weight) varies in relation to its unit length cubed, while the area (and hence the strength) of its legs varies in relationship to its unit length squared. This mathematical relationship governs the size of all life, so as animals increase in size their strength-to-weight ratio reduces until they reach an upper size limit.

This upper limit is the reason why it is so surprising that dinosaurs were so gigantic. Today's life appears to have reached the maximum size achievable, but life during the dinosaurs' time was much larger. This larger size could be explained if dinosaurs weighed less because gravity was less at that time."[9]


What about that DOOMSDAY?

So if the earth was smaller in the past, and is growing larger every year, how does this figure into the doomsday scenario?

According to Clif High, the reason that Earth grows in size has to do with what's inside of it. He suggests that the core of the planet is not made of molten iron, as the Plate Tectonics theory proposes. Clif considers the new plasma paradigm that is rapidly winning over astrophysicists as the basic substance of the universe -- slowly but surely pushing aside the gravity model to explain how things are made and held together.

Plasma is the fourth state of matter (different from solid, liquid and gas) and it's everywhere in the universe. Plasma has unusual properties that explain how matter is created from pure energy. While we may not yet understand these properties, the existence of matter in the plasma universe is proof that it is so. That same process is supposedly going on inside our planet -- new matter is being created from streaming plasma that comes from our Sun and possibly other sources such as Gamma Ray Bursts [10].

But wait... there's more!

This stream of plasma doesn't just trickle through the solar system. NASA has detected a portal through which our Sun's magnetic field connects directly to Earth's magnetic field about once every eight minutes.[11] While that could account for the average yearly increase in matter, there's something even more significant. Our Sun has cycles of 11,500 to 12,000 years where it ramps up its blasts of plasma, sending huge vollies of energy in the form of Coronal Mass Ejections and flares that rapidly increase the Earth's expansion. [12] And, according to Cliff High, we have just entered one of these cycles.

We've written about this cycle in the past (see The Last Doomsday) in some detail. It's real and based on sound scientific evidence. We'll be writing more about this in our next installment of this series which will discuss the superwave theory developed by Dr. Paul Laviolette.

Our previous speculation was that a powerful solar blast would produce atmospheric disturbances and fry electrical circuits on Earth -- bringing us back to the pre-electric, pioneer days. We failed to see the link between seismic disturbances -- earthquakes, tsunamis and floods -- until Cliff made the Expanding Earth connection. The 9.0 quake in Japan reinforced this link.


Mega-Flares and X-Flares



On March 9th, 2011, the following report was issued in the Earth Changes Newsletter:

"Over the last 48 hours, ten (10) M-Class flares have fired off from at least three separate sunspot regions. Space Shuttle was put on alert and lands safely prior to elevated solar activity ... Forty-eight hours after the first set of flares, a 7.2 mag. earthquake hit Japan setting off a small tsunami. Ten hours later, a series of "straight-line winds" along with several tornadoes hit the southeastern United States."

Then, the next day, this report came from the Space Weather Observatory:

Space Weather News for March 10, 2011
http://spaceweather.com

X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: March 9th ended with a powerful solar flare. Less than an hour before midnight (UT), Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X1.5-class explosion from behemoth sunspot 1166. First-look data suggest that the blast did hurl some material toward Earth. Check spaceweather.com for movies of the flare and updates on its possible effects.

Then, on March 11, 2011, the unprecedented 9.0 earthquake hit Japan causing a massive tsunami that killed an estimated 16,000 people. Coincidence?


Pole Shift Madness

For a while here on viewzone we have been hearing from readers who believe that the crust of the Earth will slip around the mantle, re-arranging the continental plates and causing what is curiously referred to as a "pole shift". This is a theory that was put forth by Charles Hapgood (again, we have written about this HERE).

The most popular version of this doomsday scenario has a rogue planet -- planet-X -- entering the solar system and disturbing the gravity of our planet. This prediction features most prominently on Nancy Lieder's website "zetatalk.com" and has an international following. Nancy claims to receive her information from grey aliens called "Zetas" who have the star system Zeta Reticuli as their origin and communicate with her telepathically.

While one could spend considerable time debating her predictions, the following information seems to bear witness against her. First, the typical "Grey" alien made popular by Whitley Strieber in his book Communion is not a Zeta. The term "Zeta" originated from the UFO encounter with Betty and Barney Hill back in the 1960s. According to Betty Hill, she was shown a star map of the alien's home planet which she later drew under hypnosis. Analysis of this drawing showed that it was remarkably similar to the star system we call Zeta Reticuli, thus the name. But the aliens that Betty described looked nothing like the big-eyed, grey skinned aliens depicted by Strieber. In fact, Betty was asked outright in an interview if she met the Greys and she emphatically said "No!" Her abductees -- the real Zetas -- were more human like in appearance.

Then there is the problem with planet-X. This has its origins in the rogue planet first described by Zecharia Sitchin in The Twelfth Planet. This wandering giant supposedly has an orbit of 3600 years around our Sun and periodically enters the vicinity of Earth, causing gravity problems and tidal waves. The flood of the Bible and the Sumerian legend of Utnapishtam is supposedly related to one of its more recent passages near our planet. Nancy Lieder relies on this planet -- called "Nibiru" by Sitchin -- to trigger her pole shift doomsday. But before he passed away, Sitchin was asked specifically about Nancy's prediction and whether this planet could be involved in a 2012 doomsday scenario. Sitchin totally distanced himself from her predictions stating that Nibiru was still 1200 years away in its outer orbit.

And lastly, there is the belief that pole shifts have happened in the past, giving credence to the validity of Nancy Lieder's predictions.

As we have discussed in this article, core samples were taken on both sides of the mid-Atlantic ridge to determine the age of the oceanic crust. These samples also revealed the direction of the earth's magnetic field when they were created. These core samples go back millions of years and show that the earth has never had its crust oriented to a different magnetic pole (other than those times when the poles naturally reversed polarity), nor has the Earth's crust ever been displaced by a so-called pole-shift. Totally busted!

We will write more stories about predictions in the coming weeks. For now, it looks like the problems we will encounter -- or are currently already experiencing -- are from our Sun, coupled with our own human ineptness in relying too much on vulnerable technologies.

Please write to viewzone and tell us what YOU think.


Next... Glaactic Core Explosions

We're preparing to present Dr. Paul Laviolette's superwave theory which has a cyclical periodicity of about 12,000 years. This dramatic breakthrough further explains the solar storms we have described in our discussion about the expanding earth. It's very important information that has just recently been subjected to intense scientific scrutiny ... next on viewzone!

The Case Against Pangaea: An Expanding Earth Perspective

The Case Against Pangaea

An Expanding Earth Perspective

 By Neal Adams


   
intro thumb 

   

First it’s important to understand that this is the most profound disagreement in all of science in a century and a half - and, even so, it is the tip of the iceberg; the ramifications of this disagreement will change everything we know in science, top to bottom.


To begin with basic stuff all science knows -
 

The earth has two crusts. One: the mostly basalt lower crust or the oceanic crust which is 2 – 4 miles deeper down than the higher upper continental crust. This lower crust essentially covers the Earth. This crust is being made daily at rift cracks that snake around the earth’s mid-oceans. But how could all these rifts continually spread apart without the Earth growing? That is the question,

Secondly: sitting on or “in” and “as part of” the oceanic crust is the second higher upper crust or the continental crust, rising for the most part out of the water. It is made mostly of granitic rock, which is 2.5 times the weight of water.

Some edge area of the continental crust or plate dips into and under the sea level of the ocean. This area is what we call the continental shelf. So as you go out into the ocean the water gradually gets deeper. That is the continental shelf. At a given distance out into the ocean the ocean floor suddenly drops off and goes down like a plummeting stone - 2 ½ to 4 miles to the deep ocean floor, where we find the second lower crust, the oceanic crust made mostly of basalts which are 3.0 – 3.3 times the weight of water.

So to make it visually clear, if you took the water away what you would see as you go out into the ocean a distance is that the continental shelf would suddenly drop away and down like a ridge in Arizona - except it would go straight down for two to three miles, as if it was suddenly broken off. The other side of that broken off ridge is thousands of miles across the ocean in Europe or Africa and west to Australia and Asia.

How did the two sides of this higher crust spread apart?

Rifts or eruptive cracks in the ocean floor provide new material in the form of molten magmatic rock that rises up at a rift area where the oceanic plate spreads apart. The two sides move away from each other smoothly and regularly, and so the continents welded within the oceanic plates also move apart as the ocean bottom spreads. Now if this happens - and it does, all over the world - logically speaking, this Earth must grow.

I argue that this outer crust originally covered the whole of a smaller Earth and the Earth sphere grew. The outer crust, therefore, had to crack and spread to accommodate a growing Earth, which it apparently did.

We further argue that if you were to shrink the sphere of Earth by letting the oceanic plate re-enter the rifts they erupted from, over time the continental crust would easily and completely fit back together. This solution satisfies all questions of tectonics, science, geology, paleontology, theoretical and practical physics, cosmology, and subatomic physics. Pretty simple actually.

Against this is the current Pangaea theory which insists that the continents float willy nilly about the Earth, spinning, sliding, bumping and crashing like bumper cars in a carnival (That’s a common description which some geologists are currently backing away from, in small numbers). The Pangaea theory says the Earth was assembled 4.5 billion years ago, virtually in a “universal instant” from debris that was collected in our galaxy, to this current size (by a method that is never explained). The idea that this assembly of material mysteriously ended at exactly this time and didn’t continue is illogical. Sometime in the previous 9 billion years, this stuff collected. Yet, for the last 4.5 billion years no new stuff collected, according to our 150 year old theory. How can that be?

We are told this material is ‘star stuff’ from novas or supernovas. If this wasn’t presented seriously, it would be funny. Why?

We are told meteorites, comets and asteroids are left over material from this time, only less is going around now. Less than the Shoemaker-Levy planet killers that struck Jupiter? Twenty-one of them? A billion years ago they were bigger. But meteorites aren’t loosely assembled. They’re solid. Some are solid unrustable iron! This from a supernova? Gigantic meteorites floating around, waiting for gravity to come along?

Let’s clear some thing up. The only kind of meteorites that we’ve identified to be 4.5 billion years old are chondrite meteorites. Chondrite meteorites are assembled from mineral dust and pencil tip-tiny meteorites called chondrules. More importantly, chondrite meteorites cannot assemble or accrete on a gravitational body like a planet or a sun! So where did they come from? Where did all the other meteorites come from?

Contradiction upon contradiction. It’s all wrong as theory. It’s an old outworn theory and it contradicts itself.

Geologists then say that once assembled into planets, moons, and suns this activity gave us a molten (from all the friction of assembly) differentiated Earth. Differentiated, like in a caldron; melted, in that the lightest material rose to the surface - which was presumably granitic rock - then down to basalts, then heavier silicates. At the bottom, or core, you have iron and the heavier elements.

Let us say we accepted this whole wrong scenario; The Earth is finished cooking and cools with time. The Earth must then be coated completely by a 2 – 4 mile crust of light granitic rock, and under that we find basalts.

Comparing that to today’s world we find an Earth that merely has pieces of this granitic crust. We went from an Earth completely covered with a relatively thick outer crust of granitic rock to a few scattered pieces that we call continents. Where is the rest of the crust?

The only time geologists admit that massive crust is gone is when they come up with theories like the one where a rogue planet comes barreling through space and grazes Earth and rips off a massive chunk or “peels off the crust” - that’s one of my favorites - and deposits it in orbit to be our moon. Unlike all the other moons in our solar system, which were made by what? Other rogue planets? Ming the Merciless? Rogue planets? This is fantasy.

Added together these continental upper plate areas cover between only one third to one quarter of the Earth. Where is the rest of the outer crust? Three quarters of it seems to be missing. It has to be somewhere, this much stuff can’t disappear. If we got it back it would give us four times the continental surface and mass than we have now!

I think the continental crust is the whole crust of a smaller Earth. In fact, it all does fit together on a smaller Earth.

Granitic rock cannot subduct as geologists insist oceanic plates do, because it’s too light. This is fact!

This alone disproves the Pangaea theory! Granitic rock cannot subduct. Yet, three quarters - twenty one continents’ worth - is gone! Simply gone. No explanation!
I say this: Earth was progressively smaller as we go back in time. Over 4–5 billion years it grew from a small planetesimal to a planet the size of Mars. The speed of growth increased exponentially. The heat under the crust increased as it grew and the thin crust cracked more profoundly 2–4 miles deep, and over the final 200 million years rifted the ocean to reveal a new deeper basalt plate until we have the Earth we see today.

An aside….you may fairly ask how this matter can be created. It’s created at the plasma core of all planets, moons, and suns by a process that is so common that science has a name for it, “pair production!” It’s how all matter is made from energy.

 http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/pangaea-breakup.jpg

Pangaeaists insist against all reasonable symmetries that all the continents moved to one side of Earth about 600 million years ago, (pick your own time, it’s all a “guessing game”). They gathered together on one side of the Earth and for some unexplained reason stayed on that side for 400 million to 600 million years… 


Then in an desperate attempt to explain the clear fact that all the continents fit perfectly together geologists say that in some magical other unnamed time, and for some unnamed reason, all the continents, once-upon-a-previous-fictional-made-up-time, gathered and connected in the Pacific, again, into one giant island that they named Rodinia. The continents gathered to form Rodinia in the Pacific, then broke apart and zipped around the planet to gather, and then form Pangaea in the Atlantic! You can see why timing is everything in this. How could the two giant islands exist at the same time? 

I cannot explain what intellectual terror prevents science from the obvious conclusion that Rodinia and Pangaea happened at the same time on a smaller Earth. This, in the face of facts that the ocean floor in all oceans of the world is the same progressive age and none of it, none, is older than 180 million years. Apparently it’s easier to believe that continents travel around the planet than it is to consider that the Earth grew.

Back to Pangaea then: For no explainable reason, this Pangaea island broke in half, and one half rode to and over the South Pole, and the other half rode to and over the North Pole over a period of about 60 million years. Once there they inexplicably broke up again and spread around the Earth and the poles, and the pieces are currently riding toward each other north to south to eventually crash back together in the middle. No, not east to west. Simply north to south.

So it’s Rodinia, Pangaea, Gondwana, and Laurasia. Then Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia, Europe and Antarctica. And now back to crash together. I say this is ludicrous and scientifically impossible.

These conclusions defy reason and common sense. Scientifically they have no basis in fact; it’s only theory that gets stronger every year! Granitic rock and basalt is, on average, three times heavier than water. Let’s suppose Pangaea is on one side of the Earth as the Pangaeaists say. Let’s add that if today we can say the land masses rise, on average, half mile above sea level that equals a mile and a half of water - then the Pangaea side of Earth is four and one half times heavier than the water side!...

This is not quantum physics here, it’s simple. You learn this kind of math in grade school. This is undeniable and clear. Pangaea could not have existed as described.

3. Pangaeaists insist that the concept of subduction disproves a growing Earth because, they say, the oceanic plate subducts, or dives under the continental plate, on a sort of conveyor belt that carries crust down and under to somehow join the plastic material below. At a moment of discovery in 1964, Kiyoo Wadati and Hugo Benioff discovered a chunk of oceanic plate angling downward just east of the island of Tonga in the South Pacific trench area. With some relief they and others announced that this “subduction” principle alone explained the apparent disappearance of excess crustal material of Earth. This view was enhanced and supported by the appearance and extent of the undersea trenches around what became known as the “Ring of Fire.” A volcanic arch of island and trench areas around the western pacific, but far from the continental plate.

The world of science, and specifically geology, breathed a collective sigh of relief that the growing Earth theory proposed by the brilliant geologist, Professor Samuel Warren Carey of Australia, was not true and no longer would science have to deal with the possibility of a growing Earth and its ramifications, and their… old theory of a constant size Earth was secure - along with the nonsensical theory that Earth and the solar system coalesced 4.5 billion years ago out of what they call “star stuff.” 

Our secondary goal is to completely and utterly rid ourselves of this old unrealistic, simplistic and wrong theory of solar system assembly. A theory that insults intelligence and the facts of “real science,” born of ignorance and desperation long ago by intelligent yet time-ignorant men. 150 years is a very long time and this theory has served its purpose; time to fix it.

So what, in fact, is subduction, and what is it not?

First: Continents do not subduct under other continents as originally proposed! Geology has come to slowly agree with this. We know this for many reasons, the most important being that the granitic rock of the continents cannot subduct because it is too light to do so.
Continents sit on and in oceanic plates like cups welded to growing, spreading plates. A continent is not capable of independent movement or growth; their function is done. They may crack apart if rifting dictates, but only the lower oceanic plates gain new edges and grow outward.

Secondly: Subduction and tectonic movement was originally proposed to be fueled by the convection (roiling and boiling) of an ocean of molten rock under the crust of the Earth, like a pot of boiling water on a stove. It is now known (discovered by seismic scanning) that only 4% of the asthenosphere (under the crust) is molten and most of that, if not all, is located under the rifts. Some is under volcanic areas, to be sure, but they are the exception that proves the rule.

The concept of convection has been altered into near disuse because of this recent discovery. Because convection requires the heat to be under the bottom of the pot little survives of the stubborn convection concept. Superheated gases rise to the highest areas under the crust and collect there.

This creates a problem. If new material erupts from the rifts to the new sea floor where does this new material come from? What space inside the Earth is being emptied out to provide this new stuff? There’s no convection conveyor belt to bring up new material.

Third: And quite telling; there is no evidence even that oceanic plates subduct under the actual continental plates at all! Is this a surprise to you? Nothing of the sort has been seen. In fact, the concept is nearly impossible to actually imagine based on facts. The continents, themselves, are plus or minus 30 to 40 miles thick! The oceanic plates are only 4 to 5 miles thick. The continents are not only solid and 35 miles thick, they become part of the increasingly dense asthenosphere beneath, making it solid merging into solid - in other words a total barrier to subducting plates. Not exactly what you have been led to believe, is it?

Some may think that what I’m saying contradicts the observed truth - that the Ring of Fire and the trenches you have heard about are up against the continents. They are not! They are, in fact, on average, hundreds of miles from continents (see for yourself - hardly like the drawings they show in books is it?) Subduction zones and trenches generally line the edges of newly created volcanic islands. In fact, this is exactly what we see; trenches pushing down alongside volcanic islands that are pushing upwards! The continents play no part in this process. The continents are too thick and old to enter!

Let us consider; away from the continents we find volcanic island chains pushing upward out of the oceans, and right next to these volcanic islands we find trenches, which indicate subduction or pushing down. Sort of makes sense, doesn’t it?

Even geologists say these two phenomena are directly related. Isn’t this folding under pressure? If we say the Earth is growing and we point to uneven growth from rifting and spreading, it is reasonable to assume great pressures from this growth are being applied - and not evenly, and regularly, everywhere.

So along some edges compression and folding are reasonable and logical, especially where there’s little or no rifting. On the upper surface of the continental plates compression results in folding and mountain building. In fact, compared to mountain building subduction and volcanic islands are new - only just beginning.

So, instead of a conveyor belt we simply have some compression and folding.

Pangea seperation

Let’s look at the Western Pacific. Here along the western side is the Ring of Fire, way out in the ocean. Next is a chain of volcanic islands. These, like Hawaii, are pushed up high as if compressed and folded because the ocean bottom pushes against them. As proof we have these trenches; evidence of new folding downward.

There is a vast expanse on our moon called Valles Ibrium. This, like the western pacific, is receiving outward pressure and holding pressure from nearby spreads. Can you see how the crater’s edges are dealing with the pressure by collapsing and folding? This is similar to the Ring of Fire folding edges.

While you hold that in your mind let’s look at another phenomenon. Geology tells you that mountains are created by continents bumping and crashing into each other. A preposterous idea. The fact is most, if not all, of the mountains on Earth were created since 200 million years ago, and most of them are 60 million years old and younger.
The Rockies are under 60 million. The Andes are under 60 million. And the massive Himalayas are under 60 million years old. During all the ages of dinosaurs there were literally no mountains. Please let that sink in. They told you differently? There is folded land and theories, but no true mountains from continental crashes after all.

Keeping that thought carefully now, Pangaea stayed whole for 300 million years and only then broke apart. Where is the bumping and crashing that made the mountains if it stayed whole? One island. How did we get mountains with no crashing?

Here is how the mountains are really made and why they are so young.

The Earth is growing
If the skin of the growing Earth is stretched as the Earth grows a hair’s breadth per year the cool dry crust will stretch, crack and repair, and in time gently slide apart undramatically. Cracks will appear and slide apart and water will settle in these shallow spread areas. But three things happen.

One: with added growth the heat from this growth increases under the crust.
Two: the crust thickens.


Three: the growth of the Earth increases exponentially.


Let me remind you that a growing sphere changes its geometry. Its surface re-curves to a flatter surface. If that surface stretches like a balloon to a bigger size, this recurving is made up by stretching.

But if any section holds its shape and the edges crack and rift down to a deeper level - a plastic lower level that can continue to stretch - then the upper piece is broken free, sitting on the surface; like a continent now broken free it no longer stretches to flatten out.
That separate surface of continental plate sits unstretched on a sphere that is continuing to get bigger and to recurve flatter. The curvature of that continent is no longer the same as the sphere so it must somehow flatten out. Recurve.

But remember, as crust it has now thickened to 20 -30 miles. 200 million years ago it was only 4–5 miles thick; now it’s at least 20 miles thick. As it recurves the edges crack and split (into bays and inlets and under sea “V’s” form and the upper surface of the main body wrinkles and folds into mountains. This is how we get nearly all our mountains.

The Andes are a unique case. South America lies east of the most profound and rapidly growing rift area on Earth. The pressure of this growing rift against South America prevents South America from flattening out easily. This pressure drives a trench along South America’s coast as a barrier to westward movement, like on the moon. The edge of South America folds more profoundly, like waves against a barrier it cannot pass. No other place on Earth is quite like this.

Now let us look at the western pacific. The western Pacific has no rifting to speak of. Yet rifting is all over the rest of the planet, spreading and holding the western pacific in a circular vice.

The world rifts and grows all around the un-growing Pacific creating vice-like pressure. All areas push in multiplying pressure. Now the Earth re-curves. The oceanic plate in the western pacific, is pushed upon around the edges and also pushed down by the recurve. Volcanic islands rise up, outward, not near the super thick continents but outward in the ocean creating a ring of pressure - a ring of fire.

Like mountain building this folding has only happened in the last 30 – 60 million years. A phenomenon; yes. A conveyor belt; nonsense!

We are not floating on a sea of magma. Certain areas are folding up and down under the pressure of Earth’s growth. That’s all. We have examined descending slabs seismically. There are some descending slabs, but not the whole ocean floor descending for hundreds of millions of years. In the last 200 million years are there enough slabs to account for 2/3rds of the old ocean from all directions? Of course not! It’s nonsense - we’d see it clearly if it happened. The Antarctic Ocean completely surrounds Antarctica. It’s as big as the Atlantic Ocean and it encircles Antarctica. It has no subduction to eat up its ocean floor, which is only about 60 million years old. No subduction! How then can it grow? It grows because the Earth grows!


We are told by geology that the southern continents are traveling upward to join the descending northern continents. For this to be so, the oceanic plates must be subducting in the middle some where. Search with me to find a subducting trench or any sign that the two sides are moving towards each other. Nope, nothing - but that can’t be true. The whole Pangaea concept rests on this theory.

Let’s examine this more closely. The northern and southern continents that they named Gondwana and Laurasia supposedly pulled apart and went over the poles and separated. The northern continent split in two. The southern continent broke into 4 continents.
It is not possible for North America to join with South America exactly at Panama. Similarly, Africa could not join Eurasia at exactly the same place that it split away. There is no way to justify this. 

Pangaea: The first proof - how South America fits perfectly into Africa. Easy enough to recognise . They said a child could see it. But here’s the thing. It’s not true.

If you settle South America to Africa, in the north there is a 25 degree split between the two. They do not fit! If you try to fit downward coasts, there is a 25 degree split at the top. There is only one way these two continents will fit together properly.

If you make a globe 50% smaller and re-curve these two continents on to that globe they fit perfectly!

In fact geologists will tell you that South America’s tail wrapped under Africa. This story is recorded in the undersea geology for anyone to see. Both Antarctica and South America have tails that pulled apart from under Africa.

Now watch what happens when we put these on a smaller globe.

Geologists tell you in books and on television that India was once attached to Africa. That for some reason and at a mysterious time India tore off Africa; it rode up the Indian Ocean and slowly, inexorably crashed into Asia. It proceeded to push so hard against Eurasia they say that it piled up the Himalayas - the greatest mountain range on Earth. This little peninsula - India - crushed Eurasia?

 Let’s get the rules straight: Continents don’t move. Only the oceanic plate that they sit in moves. In order for India to crash into Eurasia India’s oceanic plate would have to subduct under Eurasia. But we have established that oceanic plates cannot subduct under a continental plate because a continental plate is well over 30 miles thick. This halts the process. It can’t happen.
Let’s imagine there’s no leading plate edge on the Indian northern edge (which would be impossible). Say we can shove India up against Eurasia - it would then stop or become part of Eurasia, like Europe. Why would it crumple up mountains? Even worse, these mountains were made only 30-50 million years ago. When did India “crash” into Eurasia, while the southern continents were a further 2000 miles to the south? That’s where the southern continents were 50 million years ago. Or while 4 continents were at the South Pole did India independently voyage north for 2500 miles? All by itself?

So, let’s say India fused together with Eurasia. How does one peninsula push into a continent and why? It has to overcome inertia in order to do anything. Every action has an equal and opposite re-action; well, we have established it’s the oceanic plate that moves. Continental India is a solid body. Think of it like a Volkswagen Beetle crashing into a truck. No matter how that truck crumples, it’s nothing compared to how crushed the Volkswagen would be. The same thing is true of India. India would be one vast mountain range, but it’s not. And the Eurasian mountains are far too gigantic and extensive to be crumpled by puny India.

Look more closely. Examine the north of India. This is supposed to be an impacting body. Yet the top of it is extensive flatland. So flat, in fact, that it looks almost stretched out. How can this be an impacting body?

So how do I explain all this with a growing Earth, and how can my conclusion explain all the clues far, far better than this outmoded theory? Earth grew.

As earth grew India was a part of both Africa and Asia. The geometry of a smaller Earth makes this very simple. India broke away from Africa but stayed attached Eurasia. As Africa pulled further away the distance simply increased. That’s it. Explains everything.
The mountains in Asia? We’ve discussed how mountains are made. The thick continental plates must re-curve to fit a growing planet. The greatest mountain range on Earth should be, from compression folding, at the center of the biggest continent on Earth. That would be the Himalayas.

Finally:

It’s important to understand how desperate the scientific and geologic community is to avoid the logical conclusion that the Earth grew.

Since the Earth, 200 million years ago, had no deep oceans and all the continents were seamlessly together as one land mass that covered a smaller planet, then any variation of this story will have to be explained, and re-explained as contradictions must, and do, show up one after the other.

That’s exactly what has happened!

Science has had to admit all the continents were together because of tectonic matching in the Atlantic and animals and plants matching on either side of the ocean. But it seemed no one asked how the Pacific could have been so vast. Incredibly, this was ignored.
Then the question arose regarding how Antarctica could have ridden to the South Pole - especially when the other southern continents were wrapped around it with Antarctica in the center. So geology made up another part of the story in which Pangaea not only broke up, but broke in half and the two halves rode to and over the poles.

But then how to explain how the continents are more closely together than apart today? The new chapter of the drifting plate myth included continents moving back toward the equator and each other, to one day crash back together. No-one objected or pointed out the contradictions.

Then the worst possible thing happened; tectonic matching in the Pacific showed undeniable coincidences. At one time the Pacific was closed. So back to the drawing board - the continents must have been joined in the Pacific as well. Some explanation was needed fast!

Of course they couldn’t even suggest that this new massive island they named Rodinia, was assembled at the same time as Pangaea! So they assigned a time to it that would never be suspected to conflict with Pangaea. They said it was formed 11 to 12 hundred million years ago, and it broke up 9, or 8, or 7 hundred million years ago.

Did they have proof for these dates? Not one tenth of a proof. How irresponsible is Rodinia’s dating? There is, in fact, no beginning point for either Rodinia or Pangaea. When they say these islands formed at such and such time, it’s simply fabrication based on no proof whatsoever. It’s a lie!

There is only one proof of age that’s verifiable, and that’s the work that led to the Rainbow Map - and on the Rainbow Map there is no square yard of the deep ocean that is older than one hundred and eighty million years in the Atlantic or Pacific. So ‘Rodinia’ began breaking up 180 million years ago, just as ‘Pangaea’ did. No difference - and there is no evidence of an archaic deep ocean anywhere in the world.
