Plate
Tectonics heat-engine Magic
Try this thought experiment.
- Warm a blueberry pie on a stove as room
air cools the upper
crust.
- Imagine a crack spreading down the middle of the crust.
- Near the
pan edge, imagine that the spreading crust dives into the interior of
the pie.
- Imagine that
eventually only a few floating sea-mounts and a continental-shelf of
crust remain of the original
incrustation.
This is an absurd thought
experiment (gedanken). Yet students are taught that the earth
swallows its crust.
Plate tectonic theory
assumes that a convection current of
magma rises at a global expansion
seam. Supposedly the molten current splits into two flows that push the
diverging plates apart. Magma melts in the spreading crack,
then solidifies into
new basaltic sea floor. The power to push the continents apart
supposedly comes from a heat
engine. The heat engine moves by means of a convection current
as hot magma rises, moves parallel to the surface, and then cools and
falls back. Some plates supposedly converge and this forces
a descending plate
down into the high pressure molten earth. The swallowed crust is equal
in area to the new crust forming at the expanding seams.
Where does the power come
from to move continents? Heat
engines work by
extracting heat from expanding fluids. The difference in temperature
and pressure between the hot fluid and
the cooler exhaust produces a convection current. The tectonic
heat engine is
allegedly powered by the difference in temperature between the lower
and upper mantle (900 -
500 = ~400 degrees C). The mantle is under pressure so it should only
melt
where the pressure is
relieved. Except at the expansion seam, it should have characteristics
of a plastic, not a liquid. All the heat from the sun that
reaches the entire earth is about 160 watts /
meter2 for 24 hours. The escaping earth's internal heat
warms the
outer crust by ~0.6 w / m2
for 24 hours. How does a
tiny amount of power drive brittle sea floor into
a high pressure boiler? We never observe our atmosphere forcing itself
through a one way valve
into a high pressure tire.
Scientists claim that the second law of thermodynamics is
never violated. Yet the whole
universe is visibly violating the all the laws of conservation,
thermodynamics, indeed, every law
of physics. Why can't scientists notice this? They
do not examine the universe with sight, but by
filtering all evidence
through their creed. The scientific creed
is the assumption that matter is NOT
right now
changing itself. This assumption is the historical basis of
their system of
measuring and mathematicating. It originated in the mind of Aristotle,
the
pagan. The modern
corollary of this assumption is:
atoms are perpetual motion machines,
always moving internally but never
changing their form,
frequencies, electrical and inertial properties. Even the scientific
methods, their system of
measurement and their mathematics presuppose that matter is not
changing relationally.
We see the past as it looked long ago
in the distant
heavens. Atomic clocks in the distant
universe clock minuscule frequencies when compared to modern atoms.
Every bit of matter
visibly changes its quantum frequencies, its inertial properties and
the space it takes up as it ages. This is visible because we see how
the galaxies formed at many ranges all the way back to the
beginning. What we see is relational change,
where every aspect of matter changes together, in parallel. You cannot
measure relational changes with operationally defined units because the
units, the
constants, the formulas would all shift with the changes in matter.
Yet we can see it! We can see how the
galaxies formed in defiance of every law of physics. We can see
that the
continents only fit
back on a tiny globe. Two thirds of the
earth's crust is young oceanic basalt. We actually observe new sea
floor forming. The drill cores
from the oceanic trenches show thin, layered, undisturbed soft
sediments. These sediments
mostly came from the land. Millions of square kilometers of scrapped
off sea mounts and
oceanic clays are missing in
the subduction zones. There are no scarps
or volcanic vents at the
alleged subduction zones. How can a heat-engine powered by low
temperature differences squeeze dense
rock into the earth's pressure
cooker? The basalt is wet, yet steam does not explosively vent at
the alleged subduction zones. How did the scrapped of oceanic
oozes and clays disappear without leaving a trace at the alleged
subduction trenches?
Psalm 136:6 the Bible describes
how God continually
spreads out the earth (erets) above the
waters. The Hebrew verb tells us that this active pounding out,
spreading out action continues in
unbroken continuity. Examine the creed of science optically. Look at the stretch marks in
the
oceans. You might even notice that the continents fit together
only on a tiny globe.
This picture of the southern ocean is published by NOAA, the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It was derived from
satellite altimeter measurements. Undersea highlands and mountain
ranges are in orange and yellow. The ocean depths and abyssal
plains are in dark blues. Notice the mountain range that formed along
the Atlantic expansion seam. Also notice the stretch marks
suggesting that Antarctica pulled away from Australia. The
