more time should be spent making fun of people who type like this:

how r u 2day

than making fun of people who spell words correctly.

it's fucking simple actually dear watson.

it's possible and common for objects to increase in size while maintaining density during changes.

while this is a bad but ample enough example, water to ice. Though regarding the planet it's likely due to a combo of things.

Both are correct depending on where you learned English

There's a difference between matter you have in a glass changing states and planetary science. He doesn't take into account the forces or anything that's been discovered. No mathematical analysis of his theory, claims conspiracy to swap the burden of evidence, is only found on youtube and their internet websites etc.

Such is a crackpot.

The thing is that it "makes sense" when you look at it, so they gain "followers" (read the comments). Theories with no mathematics and experimentation are attractive to people susceptible to belief. When you leave the realm of what you can see and touch, things stop making sense. That's because your senses can't sense them. You can't see 99% of the EM spectrum (light), you can't sense EM fields, you can't sense ionized radiation.

Every over-the-air TV program, radio programs, WIFI and other wireless transmissions being broadcast right now use the same phenomena, are bouncing off everywhere in your room right now, are entering your eyes and you don't know it. That makes no intuitive sense, but that's how it is.

Now consider our missing sense of time and just how massive the timescale is, and you've got confusion all around.

Nature doesn't have to match our "common sense" and macroscopic intuition.

possibly the best part.

Yea, bro is whacked.

My first thought is that if the Earth, according to his models, had very little water and that water was contained in shallow seas, then how come that water has exploded into vast, deep oceans?

However, It's been said that the Earth picks up hundreds of tons of space debris (dust, rock, metal, water, etc.) each day. If it's said that the Earth is 4.5 Billion years old and if we're really picking up that much extra mass each day then I'd believe the surface area of the planet has expanded (in some way)... but I wouldn't say it's the reason the continents change position.

It's true that the Earth gains mass from space dust, but the amount gained is tiny in relation to the size of the Earth. The numbers I can find for mass gain are something like 100 million kg/year (10^8 kg/year). Over 4.5 billion years, the earth would have gained ~4.5 x 10^17 kg, which is less than 1 part in 10 million of the Earth's total mass of ~6 x 10^24 kg.

That's "basically" how solar systems form, I googled some notes and found http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/~luca/astr/T ... ion-N.html

We can't go back in time and we don't live nearly long enough to witness the entire process in deep space nebulae, so we're stuck with predictive theories based on the evidence we can get, which outcome is a solar system. Crackpots look at one thing without taking into account a shitload of variables.

Hundreds of tons are fractions of pennies when we're talking about something in the scale of our planet which has a mass equivalent to 59736000000000000000000000000 kg. (supposed to be 24 zeros in there)
