I was thinking about posting this in the talk and toke section, but you guys are more astute. Shhhhhhh

Ok, I came across an interesting video and I would like to hear what your opinions on the subject are. YouTube - Conspiracy of Science - Earth is in fact growing

I believe it might be possible for the earth to grow because plants grow with just light, water, air and nutrients. If you have ever grown a plant from seed, you will realize that the plant becomes a LOT bigger than just the amount of nutrient matter that gets sucked in by the roots. As you might know(if you actually grow weed....*cough MM cough*), you only need a very little bit of fertilizer to get a lot of plant material, respectively. The majority of the size comes mostly from water and air and your nutes are just like vitamins but the air and water are like the steak and potatoes(substance).

Anyways, I was wondering if the earths layers(you know the ones that a geologist can look at and determine what was going on at that period in time.) are like the rings/layers of a tree.

So, back when there were dinosaurs, the earths co2 content was like 10 times(don't quote me though) what it is today and has been decreased to the present day levels because it was turned into plant matter(and now its presently fossil fuels). So with the sun and the co2 being a catalyst, the dead plant material has raised the volume and diameter of the earth.

Just a thought... What do you guys think?

Edit-I do question where all the water came from... Let me to some more research, feel free to chime in

it's possible since the earth's plates are constantly shifting. There is always seismic activity.

yea they say the earth grows from constant meteorits and particals hitting it and also the magma cooling coming to the surface and expanding while it hardens

my wang expands while it hardens too but the 2 things are unrelated

Feel free to explain your logic! I'm trying to hear other peoples logic as to why they would or wouldn't think this is possible.

I gave my opinions in my beginning statement, and I'm looking for other people too. There is no right or wrong answer, just opinions and logic.

There is a right and wrong answer. Either the Earth is growing or it isn't - can't be both.

My opinion is if the people who made the youtube video publish in a scientific journal you will get your answer either way. If the makers of the youtube video do not publish in a scientific journal they are either afraid of being proven wrong or hucksters and can safely be ignored.

Your right. The earth is either growing or it isn't. But I said there is "neither a right or wrong answer" to be more inviting for the purpose to debate. I do not have the faintest clue if the earth is growing myself, but I expressed my logical opinion on how it could... I just want to hear other peoples opinions and have fun with the subject- its a wild one if you ask me.

Whats your opinion on the subject email....(use your imagination)

OK - i will not look into it and just use my imagination (so this is pure conjecture)...

well first a one factoid - the Earth's circumference is expanding. The Earth is becoming shorter on the N/S axis and wider around the middle (but don't we all with age).

I think the expanding Earth theory got its start as a way of explaining how the continents could all fit together. But then along came plate tectonics which works must better as a theory.

Every bit of space debris that hits Earth (from larger meteors to the constant bombardment of space dust) will add to the Earth's mass. Which would mean the Earth would be increasing in mass.

and we know as stars deplete their inner fuel supplies they begin to expand (and then contract) so I suppose if Earth's inner core began heating up or cooling down, the Earth's crust would be expanding with earthquakes and such. But i am at a loss as to explain how the Earth could just start expanding - it is not made of gas but solid (or liquid) material.

So by this reasoning i would say the Earth could be gaining mass but not in any measurable way.

THIS IS A GUESS AND PURE SPECULATION!!!

Thanks for your opinion email

"But then along came plate tectonics which works must better as a theory."

~LOL~ I thought plate tectonics was a science "fact"???

Approximately how much space debris actually hits the earth on an annual basis?

Do you think the earth could be growing and the plate tectonic "theory" could also be a factor too? Right? It could be a little of both? HAHA

The reason why I speculate that it might be a little bit of growing and plate tectonics is because the inner core is liquid, and I don't think the addition of space material and the added dead plant material(as i proposed) would induce earth quakes and the such.

I think its fun to speculate things HAHA Who knows whats really anything anymore... ~LOL~ HAHA

The Earth is growing? My Gawd ... and all this time I thought the sky was fallling.
