So the earth doubled in size in the last 65 million years? right....

[jeff02x2]

So apparently this crackpot has some crazy idea's about how the earth has evolved the past 180 million years.

This guy is not in anyway a scientist/geologist (in fact he draws, buys and sells comic's which might explain why his theory is so "imaginative" lets say).

His argument is basically that the movement of tectonic plates etc is a lie by geologists who actually know that the earth is growing. Also, in his words, this "fact" would blow most science out of the water, if his theory had a leg to stand on.

Thought you guys might like a look if anything for a chuckle made me smile that someone would think the earth was growing without actually explaining how

EDIT:
A comment on youtube I thought was equally funny
"Could the Earths magnetic field be feeding from the suns energy by drawing energy into the poles?Increasing energy and mass? It is thought that most energy is deflected but I contest that a magnetic field induces a sort of vacuum. Where the magnetic field directs its vacuum through the inner core and then out and around the atmosphere back into the poles. Earth is one of a kind because the inner core is molten and creating friction generating a current and a growing magnetic field. "

time cube! two cube days in each false earth 24 hours! earth growing 2x finally explains this!

 

[WolfEdge]

Secrets and lies...

It's ALWAYS secrets and lies with those damn scientists...

Man, the guy commenting on his own video is the worst part. Here's why:

"THIS is how I SPEAK. I use CAPITALS to EMPHASISE words UNNECESSARILY. This PROBABLY comes from my TIME spent working with COMIC BOOKS, as they have a HABIT of BOLDING words for NO REASON."

It's not a theory, it's an unsupported hypothesis.

Maybe but he isn't putting forward as a possible explanation he believes it is THE explanation

 

[Bobbity]

Troll Alert. I'll bet that's the reason for the synthesised voice- he couldn't say this crap without cracking up.

Who's to say this guy is wrong? I think its wrong that you lable him a "crackpot" when most of the important thinkers in our time such as Copernicus (who came up with the idea of the heliocentric model) was considered a crackpot. Before that everyone who thought the earth was round was considered a nutjob. Science has still yet to figure out everything about the universe.

 

[Bozilla]

No doubt the earth has grown. The explanation of gravity is also the explanation for why the earth is growning. To the exact amount of mass grown who knows. It is simple science to point out a large mass attracts smaller mass but as the larger mass grows larger so to its gravity.

There's tons of evidence for tectonic motion of plates - physical evidence that can be substantiated.

I hate it when people say "science hasn't figured everything out yet" and then use that as "reasoning" for any easily discredited bizarro hypothesis.

Science has worked out a hell of a lot - see that internet you're using? Science. Satellites? Science. OK, there are still questions, but those are mainly about such highly specialised fields because so much of the everyday stuff is now well understood.

Please, go and have a look at the papers on plate tectonics before saying stuff like that.

This is hilarious. The combination with the epic background music is great.

But who knows: In 30 years this might be taught at school and he's a scientific pioneer.

 

[Klumpfot]

He is entirely wrong. Earth is flat, and accelerating upwards, which is what's causing what we call 'gravity'. The sun and the moon are of equal size, and hover a few miles above us. The government hides this from us, to make money.

Yeah, forcing us to buy those damn 'globes' and other spherical objects, they're afraid we'll find out about the turtle carrying us or the huge tree in the middle of the planet.

 

[Player Two]

Oh gods... I just had a Discworld flashback.
After I'd stopped laughing, I mean.

So I guess all the plates have expanded as well? Or has water spontaneously sprung forth from the widening gaps they left?

I'm not saying the guy is right per se, but it's wrong to discredit him because YOU think it's wrong. That's the same thing the Catholic church did with everyone who had ideas about the universe that didn't agree with their own. Galileo was excommunicated from the church because he supported the heliocentric model of planetary motion. Was he wrong? No, he was in fact correct, but the fact that his views differed that everyone else's at the time he was thought of as a nut.

 

[Ogargd]

Lmao, what a nut job.

Here's the thing, we have something known as the fossil record to prove that the earth has not been growing. If the earth were indeed growing the lower level of gravity in the past would be shown by the evolutionary traits of the creatures in the fossil records. Less gravity would mean that larger land creatures would requires less bone density to support their body's weight and the quantity of large land creatures would have been much greater than we are finding. If gravity were increasing steadily over time from the earth growing(and by extension it's mass increasing) the trend in the fossil record would be for the abundance of large creatures with less bone density to gradually disappear from the fossil record, replaced by more and more small creatures that display an increase of bone density.

Science proved him wrong long ago, so I'm free to call him a crackpot. Especially when he comes to the table with not a single shred of legitimate evidence to speak of other than his word against that of well tested and well observed scientific fact.

All of the examples you have used are people who discredit with no evidence, the people who discredited Copernicus diddnt try to understand, the catholic church have different motives to science. This guy thinks that he is putting a sound argument forward, which is why it is funny. its like me saying that gravity does not exist its actually invisible unfindable gremlins pulling us back down to earth, actually my argument against gravity is better than his because mine cant be disproven his can.
