I really can't believe people are taking this seriously.

Firstly, the man isn't a scientist, he's a comic book illustrator.
Uh, just because he is a comicbook illustrator makes his theory untrue? That is extremely naïve of you. Do you know HOW MANY peoples theories have been proven correct and never went to school or were a scientist? Some were farmers for gods sake, but ideas such as this must be taken into account, or we will never learn a thing.

Remember, so called 'scientists' in the days long past thought the earth was flat. lol. come on.

And Einstein did poorly in school, and had left school early. Then went off to study on his own (like this man did). So a genius can come in ANY flavor, even a comicbook illustrator.

Science today is so close minded. scientists are so close minded on so many new theories because they don't wanna be proven wrong. period. They would look like fools.

You can see, CLEARLY that the planet is expanding on those videos, and that if you piece them back together, the land features on each side fit perfectly.

This is just another theory. take it as such. But a damn good one, and one that should be looked into without prejudiced.
[/QUOTE]Ziroc, if you're calling someone else naive, then watch out what things you air yourself, 'mkay?

Saying it is "CLEAR that the planet is expanding in those video's and that if you piece them back together, the land features on each side fit perfectly" is as much hogwash as the factual material any given Hollywood-movie has.
Mind you, I'm not here to solely take down this (so-called) theory, but some video's of cleverly pieced together moving pictures DO NOT - I may even repeat these last two words - make things clear all of the sudden as to what is happening to tectonic plates and the (true or not) shrinking of the earth. In all objectivity: the narrator simply says "I'm not fooling you, I'm just piecing together things that were together, just watch the video", and therefore is devoid of any substantial arguments and/or logic. He never explains how we are supposed to actually KNOW that he is speaking the truth, except for pointing out (over and over again) that the plates match (something easily goofed - the human eye/brain cannot comprehend that the video does NOT seem to work, as the video in itself is too complicated for that) using elaborate worthing and tiny dots and arrows that are supposed to back up his thoughts.

All in all: you can hardly call this a theory, or even a theoritically supported stream of thoughts. The way science works in this world, is that we have to have arguments to back up our claims, especially in an objective field such as physics.
