The Earth

After so long of not updating my blog, my returning post is about the Earth. Read on, it’s not a boring topic, at least for me.

Do you know, the Earth has a diameter of 12753km? (That’s not interesting.)
This makes the circumference 40064km. (That’s not interesting either.)
And Earth takes 24 hours to make a complete rotation. (Fuck. It’s NOT interesting! _l_)
Therefore, all of us living near the equator are moving at up to 14m/s. (Wow. Interesting?)
Faster than how fast you see an Olympic runner runs a 100m race. (Feeling giddy?)

Let's move on to something more interesting about the Earth.

When I first saw this:



It is a 10 minute video that would probably confuse you if you don't know anything about geography. It is a video saying that the lands of the Earth fits together nicely on a smaller Earth, i.e. without the oceans. During the past hundred millions of years, the Earth expanded from a small, ocean-less globe into what it is now. Prove is how the lands are able to fit nicely, the sea beds are not as old as the land (and shows varying degrees of ages to depict how the Earth expanded), and how the trees in America and Russia are of the same kind (as they were once together).

The video also ruled out subductions. Subduction is one denser section of the Earth's crust moving towards and underneath another lighter section. This, if present, would totally make this expanding Earth theory all useless. The video mentioned that if it was true that subductions were not present, hundred years of physics theory would go down the drain as they cannot be used to explain the absence of subduction.

I thought, how the heck can Earth expand? (Interesting on how the land fits together on a smaller Earth though.) And where did all that water come from to form the oceans?

Until I read an article on National Geographic website that a huge underground "ocean" is found beneath Asia, I knew that oceans were formed through water "baked" by the Earth which escapes as volcanic gas. This process is now reversed, which explains why the moisture is found in the Earth itself.

Now, that leaves us with subduction. Subduction is proven, with evidences, and almost all scientist/geologist/geophysicist/teachers/students/presidents/monkeys agree that subduction is indeed present. However, nuclear waste disposal is banned at subduction zones. Thinking in the point of conspiracy theories, it’s banned because subduction doesn't exist at all. Subduction zones are drawn up by humans, but no subduction is actually present in these areas. It was only proven, remember? Not verified.

So, I believe that the expanding Earth theory is true, even though it’s being ruled out few tens of years back. (It’s always interesting to believe in interesting things.)

强词夺理 (To distort the right and talk speciously). Whatever. I believe in what I say.

Adding on to the "ocean" found beneath Earth, water is now going in reverse: back into the Earth. As we learnt from physics, evaporation causes cooling, Earth is loosing water, which gives a partial explanation about global warming. Less water to evaporate, less cooling.

Also, temperature changes on Mars suggests that global warming is caused partially by the Sun. But scientists claimed that it is only a small effect on the overall global warming on Earth. Heck, if the change on Mars was so obvious for people 56~400 million kilometres away from it to detect, I don't see why it shouldn't have a big effect on Earth.

People are just trying to scare others, and trying to save/make money. (By DENYING us of free plastic bags, and FORCING us to buy UGLY looking bags, which you have to REUSE like nobody's business, for a few ten cents each.

奸商s (Profiteers) indeed.
