An
evolving frog egg. It's cellular structure divides and divides again. With each division
the frog embryo grows, yet individual cells remain relatively constant in size.
Continental Drift on our planet Earth exhibit similar characteristics in that the tectonic
plates have gone through several stages ( Gondwanaland, Pangea, present). Each stage
adding an additional plate to our planet. If it is demonstrated that plate production
occurs at a greater rate than plate subduction, then it would seem reasonable to assume
that we live on an expanding planet. It is notable that if you assembled the Continental
Plates into a shell, you would create an object the size of Mars.
Present notions as to the nature of gravity make this
evolutionary concept untenable, because the gravitational pressure is assumed to compress
the Earth's core into a dense ball. As more is discovered about the gravitational effects
brought about by plasma configurations, this opinion may change. |
