Flame » in reply to Physics for Nick and R.L.

Having been invited to the BBQ...

Thanks for responding in such a useful fashion, Johannes.

I already said what was polite and politic. Now I'll say it in buckets, and without sanitation.

You are absolutely full of sh*t, Johannes - not just Bullsh*t, but the real stinking ordure. Your stupid ideas about how things work aren't even graceable by the term "physics".

I should have expected this stupidity from someone who imagines that the radioactivity of Chernobyl could have an appreciable effect on the Earth's atmosphere, when our nearby fusion reactor, aka Sol, is blasting the exosphere with protons at a greater rate per year than our entire nuclear arsenal.

Imagine an expanding Earth that has expanded by 400% (4 times) in surface area in 250 Ma. That's 200% (twice) in radius and 800% (8 times) in volume. Since Earth NOW has a mean density of 5.5 g/cc, then at 250 Ma, according to your stupid ideas it needed to have a density of 44 g/cc. That's twice the density of plutonium.

If we back track this sort of process, we find at 500 Ma, a requirement for Earth to be 1/4 of it's present radius, and at 750 Ma, 1/8, etc...

Following this exponential trend, at 4.6 Ga, when the Earth was first formed, it should have been 18.4 metres in radius and contain the entire present-day mass of the Earth.

This is clearly as ludicrous as the idea that you are capable of coherent thought. Neutronium, for example, has a density of 4*10^17 g/cc. but this "Earth Seed" would have a density 570 times greater and would likely swallow itself as a black hole in a fashion that would be admirably satisfactory to the human race were you to do so yourself and dissapear up your own event horizon.

(As we say in scientific circles, this argument is one of reductio ad absurdum, and you are the absurdus).

Of course, you could always give up on your microbubble theory and posit creation of matter in an expanding Earth. Perhaps this is the way your brains are filled day-after-day by decomposing faecal matter and morbid concepts, without a hint of credibility.

Or wait! maybe we're going to get the "There's a black hole at the centre of the Earth and it's leaking matter by Hawking radiation" theory. Try that for an idea, it's as good as any of yours (i.e. as accurate as a square piston and as much use as a chocolate teapot).

In fact, in future, please give us a list of areas in which you want to hold stupid and unsupportable ideas and we'll supply them for you from the list of garbage already out there in the world. That will save you the effort of trying to find two neurons to rub together boy-scout fashion, and generate a spark!

Do us a favour by curling up and dying, and format your hard disk while you're at it. Then feed your modem into the insinkerator and connect mains voltage across your motherboard. Feel free to use your tongue as a conductor for a better contact.

Go play in your own league, sunshine.
