Yes, an interesting theory. Only it needs a rather massive change in the laws of physics.

I mean, where does all the mass come from? This would mean that in the center of all planets, moons etc is some type of energy source, maybe even fusion based like out sun.
Can't be fusion. I've never really studied it at school, but from what I know, if you bump hydrogen around until a kilogram of it has turned into energy you can make exactly one kilogram of rock from that energy. My guess is that a wizard did it. Or maybe earth is a little space turtle egg.

And he describes the birth of Himalayas in a somewhat strange fashion. "How can an island uproot itself from the ocean floor, seemingly float across the ocean and crash into Asia so forcefully that it created mountain ranges over millenia and continues to build these mountains today?" My geology is a bit rusty, but I was under the impression that India, on its own tectonic plate, started drifting into another direction from Africa and happened to move to the same location with Asia. One of them is slowly sinking under the other. And it took way more than a thousand years for it to happen.

I once read of a guy who thought that if you buy a magnetic ring from him, you will be immortal. I might try to find him.

edit: typo

Also, I found the person this reminded me of! Alex Chiu, the seller of magnetic immortality rings!
