Alfred Wegener was such a great person. It's sad that he died so tragically. He was out on his fourth expedition in the middle of Greenland, walking through the middle of nowhere, by himself, when he suddenly had an heart attack and died. His body was never moved, and is still in the middle of nowhere. His body is estimated to be buried under three-hundred feet of snow. The exact location of his base called "Eismitte", (German for "middle ice") is unknown today.

It is typical of our academic institutional blindness that the truth of the various sciences comes from 'outside the well-worn and established accepted messengers'... Alfred Wegener in the early 1900's... Immanuel Velikovsky in the mid 20th century... More visionaries outside the confines of the disciplinary separation of specialists will see the facts here and there and turn many currently held beliefs into yesterday's 'flat earth'... Welcome the visionary for they 'see'.

In fact, he (Wegener) played a negative role. Instead of thinking about the Earth expansion (suggested well before the Wegener's continental drift), Wegener made geologists to develop "plate tectonics" which was a completely erroneous hypothesis. But this funny hypothesis would be inevitably neglected!

Actually, the die hard Flat Earthers use continental drift as the center point of proof and Newtonian physics actually back it up. The Earth is a rotating disc and due to angular momentum material is spreading outwards. To them, this also explains the great ice wall that is the boundary. I take great delight that the same works for a rotating sphere. And the proof in that is that the Earth does bulge at the equator. This drives the Flat Earthers nutz because the best comeback is that it's just a ripple or a wave, again something that can be backed up by physics.

So what drives the seperation of the original supercontinent into fragments that drift apart. Is it a collision with a foreign body in space? Where's the impact zone, under the Pacific? Why is Earth's ocean floor crust spreading, like the crust of a yeasty dough, is Earth swelling? Maybe not, if subduction accounts for the mantle/core convection process right up at the crust. But doesn't that also imply there is a thinner boundary between the lithic strata which would still be explicable as potentially due to a massive collision with a gigantic foreign object, perhaps introduced to the Earth in its past?

I just recently saw a home video filmed in Africa of an island actively floating over and colliding with the earth on the other side of the "creek" and smashing into and over the earth on the other side just enough for the guys in the video to walk over it. Although it is a smaller scale and there and been a recent earth quake, it made me think of this theory. I believe they were actually witnessing the theory "in action". It was awesome. Almost like watching the last few inches collide that may have allowed prehistoric "asians" to walk from Siberia to North America becoming prehistoric "native americans". Fascinating
