Expanding Earth kookiness

Hi All

I'm really wondering how serious this guy can be. To compress the Earth to 64% of its current radius he posits the Earth precipitated out as the core of a Jovian planet, which then lost 300 earth masses of gas during the Sun's T-Tauri phase. And not just Earth but Venus and Mercury too. Not sure what he thinks Mars is which doesn't quite fit the theory.

Hmmm... I'm sure Nick would bag this guy mercilessly but he's been doing the scientific iconoclast thing for years.
