Expanding Earth Theory - WTF???

It's not what he asks, it's how he asks it.

But I will agree, here he has been a net positive in prodding others to post information.

True. But then again, the responses from some of the other people on the thread have been less than polite. His reputation certainly preceded him on this thread at least.

Please stop giving any credit to Jerome. Someone who exist in a world filled with delusion, where he believes in NWO conspiracies and beliefs in his own form of science deserves no credit. It is an illness and deserves pity.

My issue with Jerome is his dishonesty. He does not question things for the sake of knowledge, he does so for...I have no idea...but he purposefully "forgets" prior discussions, misconstrue arguments and use logical fallacies like water.

The only benefit of "debating" people like Jerome are:
1)Practicing proper ways to deal with dishonest debaters. Tying them down to one topic and preventing them from running away and using dishonesty.
2)Practicing and refreshing some of the basic knowledge on the topic being discussed. However, this is more useful when debating an honest opponent and not someone who is unwilling to listen.

I understand. Jerome can be annoying, especially when he refuses to acknowledge information which has been given to him (see the Black Holes thread). And especially when he does so repeatedly. But if it weren't for him and his denialism, there wouldn't have been so much really good information posted in this thread, and I wouldn't (and other lurkers wouldn't) have learned so much.

I'm just saying.

And in addition, I think that the two reasons you gave are in fact very good reasons for debating people like Jerome. They are in fact two reasons I gave in my Why I Argue article that I wrote several years ago. (Check that link - I can't access my site right now so I typed it from memory). I would also add a third reason: for the lurkers.

If I wanted to be really charitable towards Jerome - more charitable, perhaps, than he deserves - then I would say that this could be exactly why he questions things. I don't know why he does it either. But especially in this thread (not so much in the black holes thread) it has been an opportunity, not an annoyance.

Sure, Jerome can be as annoying as all getout. Sure, when all else has failed, ridicule can be the only weapon left. But his last post in the thread suggests that there may, there just may, be a possibility that he will understand this time around. And that's worth it.
 
One can hope he actually learned something.

PS: You're no lurker...unless you are a 2000 foot long lurker with over 9000 posts.
 
The gravity of your lurking presence is felt even in your stealthy silence...must be my sixth sense :rolleyes:
See ya around.
 
About Plumes. I was aware that they coexist but it seemed to me there was some debate over what was the key driver of tectonics, that some thought convection currents created by subducting oceanic plates were mostly responsible and others thought that plumes derived from melted crust were mostly responsible. If in fact there is no debate over such things then my impressions and subsequent questions were in error.
 
I had forgotten how uhm... Absurd the whole expanding Earth was. Thanks, Professor Yaffle.
Well, that's really bad science out there...

First of all,

Imagine an Earth's core like you see in a geode. (You know, those round stones that when you cut them in half and look inside you see beautiful crystals seemingly growing inward.) in the very middle, it's empty, because the crystals are, in reality, growing and pushing outward!

Wrong. Geodes are nothing but gas bubbles formed when magma cools down. The crystals are precipitated from the fluid and start forming at the bubble's walls; the crystals do not push the walls outwards, they grow from the borders towards the centre.The space at the centre of the cavity is what's left after there's no more material available for crystal growth, and in most cases there's no space left.

Additional info- fluid inclusions (fluid bubbles) traped inside the crystal when they grow indicate us the composition and temperatures of the gases and liquids from which the crystals were formed. Some geodes have their center filled with water, fluid left from the process.

Then we have this:

Matter is created (google Carl David Anderson) from the prime matter (or aether, or dark matter, or, call it, pre-matter) that fills the universe.

Positron and electron pairs are produced which follow the electromagnetic lines isolated from each other… until the positrons gather neutral mass (prime matter) sufficient to become protons.

Those join to become hydrogen…

Then the same process that happens in the sun and its solar system happens. Hydrogen atoms are compressed into neutrons. Helium is produced. The "inner core" strips the electrons from the helium.

The helium ions join to make higher count atoms all of which fall to the inner surface of the mantle.

Whoah! First we have creation of matter out of aether! Top woo! There are already discussions on this issue at this forum... Such mechanism has never been proven plausible nor there are any reliable evidences it happens.

Then we have nuclear fusion within our planet! Why our planet does not ignites itself from the energy that is released from these reactions?

Its not just a matter of the available geologic evidence not matching an expanding Earth hypothesis. Its a matter of inconsistent physics!
 
Ykes!

Skimmed through that thread...

Hollow moon, oceanic crust composed by granite, layered universe...

Again...

Ykes!

I wonder why his supporters have not yet said that the discovery of those very large gas giants and "super Earths" are evidence of his "theory".

One more time...

Ykes!
 
This guy doesn't think there are SuperNazi's and their robotic vampire werewolf minnions living inside that Hollow Moon does he?

Why are you making up false avatars? Do you believe that you are some gladiator of something? MattusMaximus is deluded I say...man do you believe some weirdo thinks he's a Gnome?

I am Aesclepius, Greek God of Healing with my phallic snake staff!!!

That's not a snake staff... ;)
