Some Einstein sh..tuff, science discussion

Here is a good video to dismantle this whole notion of Plate Tectonics. A lot of the material here, I have already covered.


EDIT: He also covers John Baumgardner's Catastrophic Plate Tectonics, for those here who have been promoting AIG and ICR.

For anyone here, especially @MemeFan who still believes in Plate Tectonics:

* Total Stations and Interferometry Devices Could Prove Ridge Spreading: Either with interferometry devices or Total Stations, within days, plate tectonics advocates could measure and thereby prove the claimed ridge spreading, especially in easily accessible Iceland. They don't. A report published by Stanford's National Accelerator Laboratory states, "A few years ago the most accurate total station distance meters, after extensive calibration, could approach 1mm. Today, certain Leica total stations achieve 0.1mm right out of the box. [Consider the] differences between distances measured with four [Leica] TC2002s and [Stanford's SLAC] interferometer [which reduces] the measurement standard deviation from 73 to 52 microns [millionths of a meter]." Walt Brown discussed with J. Tuzo Wilson, one of the fathers of plate tectonics, the failure of geologists to measure ridge spreading, and Walt also had such discussions in his many meetings with Bob Dietz (who coined the term seafloor spreading).

Well, Earth has more continents that we thought:


Iceland and New Zealand are highest mountains of big continents.

One of those "continents" is where the Mid oceanic ridge intersects with itself.

My wife and I just attended a three day seminar, where the host speaker gave us a formula
Policy plus demographics equals the future.

In essence, if you want to be able to predict the future, look at policies and then look at the demographics of those affected by those policies and you will get a solid predictor of the future. Maybe then you won't have to kick your own butt so many times. ;)

OK - I don't have "a dog in this hunt," I'm not an expert on geology, and it's not really among my major areas of interest. (Physics and 'Tesla technology' - I built Tesla coils in my 'garage' lab before I was in junior high - are a different matter.)

But this raised my eyebrows, because I am familiar with Velikovsky, and his 'catastrophism' ideas about a potential highly-eccentric "long-period" large, low-albedo planet with an orbit out of the ecliptic (you've all heard the names, "Planet X," Nibiru, Wormwood, et al) that was involved in at least one or more Biblical-level events, particularly Joseph/Pharaoh's seven lean and seven fat years, via its passage through the inner solar system. And that it was electrical effects, rather than gravitational, that dominated its effects on approach to the sun.


I haven't seen any mention in here of Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision," or other theories. Any comments?

You know I got to thinking about this last night as a I tossed and turned, (I ought to be an author as I could write whenever and sleep whenever) and it occurred to me that what might have struck Jupiter and Saturn as well, could have been smaller than Mars, but flying much more rapidly than what Velikovsky has proposed, from a planet a bit closer to the Sun than Mars. After all, HPT holds to the theory that many of the moons around Jupiter and Saturn came from the erosion following the rupture event. There may in fact be a bit of a symbiotic relationship between the Velikovsky and HP theories that I had not really taken into consideration. It could be either of those two gas giants, or I suppose even more likely to escape the planet's gravitation, if it were to strike Neptune, as it is an even smaller planet. I even contemplated that Mercury might have broken off from one of these, but I don't think that fits the HPT model very well, as we know that there is water on Mercury at its poles.
 
Colloids are not really a new state of matter. That sounds like what he is proposing. SCW OTOH, is rather different; not really new mind you, but unusual for sure!
