A New MECHANISM FOR MATTER INCREASE WITHIN THE EARTH NEW MECHANISM MATTER FOR INCREASE EARTH WITHIN THE A plausible new argument suggests that, based on known physical phenomena, particles from the Sun may account for Earth expansion. ccording to Expansion Tectonics, geological data support the claim that the Earth has been gaining matter over geological time. The source of this new matter and the specific manner of how the Earth gains it remain a mystery which affects the viability of Expansion Tectonics. This article proposes a new mechanism for matter gain. In summary, based on the electric nature of our universe, it is suggested that this gain is primarily fed by solar particles that are transferred to the Earth's interior by electron and proton conduction. It is argued that such a process is plausible and has support based on theoretical and empirical studies appearing in existing scientific literature. Expansion Tectonics For over a century, many professional geologists have speculated on the possibility that the Earth has undergone a steadily increasing expansion. In he past 60 years, the two names most notable in this regard are Professor Samuel Warren Carey and his successor Dr James Maxlow, both geologists rom Australia. These and other scientists have arrived at the conclusion hat, based on sound empirical evidence, the observed geology of the Earth can only be explained if the Earth has been increasing its radius substantially over a time period of several billion years. In the 1990s, Maxlow in his graduate research pursued the Earth expansion ypothesis in much greater detail. Maxlow initiated his studies soon after he Commission for the Geological Map of the World and UNESCO had completed worldwide geological mapping of the surface of the Earth, both on land and under the oceans, assembling extensive ageing data of the entire crust. This mapping then formed the basis for Maxlow's research. Maxlow determined that the Earth has undergone an exponential increase in radius since the beginning of Earth history some 4,000 million years ago. What this means is that, for over 90 per cent of its existence, the increase in Earth radius was much less than the thickness of a human hair per year, and then, about 200 million years ago, this rapidly increased to its present rate of 22 millimetres per year. By systematically taking away the area represented by the oceans and constructing progressively smaller-radius Earth models, Maxlow demonstrated that it is possible to reduce the Earth's radius and fit all of the present continents together at about 55 per cent of the current Earth radius at the beginning of the Jurassic Period some 200 million years ago. Similarly, by investigation of ancient interior continental basins, Maxlow found that it was possible to extend this value downwards to approximately 27 per cent of the current value at the beginning of the Archaean Aeon some 4,000 million years ago. From the beginning of the Archaean to the present day, this represents about a 50-fold increase in volume. In all cases, Maxlow was able to achieve a better than 99 per cent land-mass fit as he progressed Email: jeichler@AnInfiniteUniverse.org APRIL - MAY 2011 NEXUS ¢ 43 by John B.
