Welcome again nerds and nerdettes! Come on in, don't be shy. Set a spell and watch a video or two. Perhaps you missed the lightly viewed and inauspicious
inaugural trial balloon of
15 Minute Science. But hope springs eternal and so we loose yet another balloon...
Tonight is Crack Pot Theory night. Tonight's crackpot is comic artist Neil Adams. His theory? Well you'll just have to jump the crack in the pot to find out.
You do know don't you that long long ago the Earth was much smaller than it is today. So small in fact that all the continents fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Makes sense does it not? You certainly can see how Africa and South America could snuggle up together where there be no ocean at all. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself...
Seeing is believing, no? Well, if you don't believe me or your very own eyes perhaps the expert opinion of cartoonist
Neil Adams (Superman, Batman, X-Men, etc., [not Scott, the Dilbert guy]) will convince you. I mean how could someone who can invent whole worlds of superpowered superhuman's be wrong!
Oh, sorry, somebody else invented those worlds. Well, Mr. Adams has spent nearly a half-million dollars of his own money promoting his particular hypothesis which, like his comic books, he re-imagined from the
theories of actual scientists like Australian geologist
Samuel Warren Carrey, Italian geologist Giancarlo Scalera,
J. Marvin Herndon and
James Maxlow. Men who are quite likely also wrong, but who use actual
data to support their hypotheses.
Neil has
animations,
Persuasive evidence don't you think?
Potholer54 of YouTube fame is having none of it!
themanyone also of YouTube has his own theory and uses the same rigorous scientific method as Neil Adams. Ironic no?
Now Growing Earth fans have a reason for Earth's inexplicable expansion--the moon! Since Neal Adams' inspiring series showed me that graphic editing is "proof," I bring you even more astonishing "facts" proven by the time-tested research tools of airbrushing, rotating and stretching!
In all seriousness, Cosmological Ice Ages has been well-researched by astronomers and scientists in the field. I am just illustrating how silly it is to try to prove something as heavy as a growing earth, climate change, global warming or my own theory about the moon with a short video. I do not discount that something like this lunar madness could have happened, however... It's just a hunch. You decide. The actual science is in the references.
Well, there you have it. Neil Adams and the Expanding Earth Theory. I hope you found it entertaining and possibly learned something new, so thanks for stopping by!
