- A pulsating Earth, where cyclic expansion of the Earth is said to have opened the oceans and contractions have caused orogenesis (mountain building). This proposal fails to satisfy exponential expansion, as shown by modern oceanic mapping, and Professor Carey considered the theme to have arisen from the false misconception that mountain building implies crustal contraction. In addition, Carey saw no compelling evidence for intermittent contractions of the Earth.

A pulsating Earth
"The greatest discoveries of science have always been those that forced us to rethink our beliefs about the universe and our place in it."
Re: A pulsating Earth
A short remark.The rate has been steadily increasing during the last 200 Ma according to seafloor accretion, but it is not so clear that the expansion is purely exponential.Light Storm wrote:

If 50 million believe in a fallacy, it is still a fallacy. Sam W Carey
