- Actually, I love big words... :) What I can't stand are big words used
- incorrectly, as Ted has a penchant for doing. No matter how you word it,
- Ted, it's still junk.
-
- I've noticed other people posting their own pet "theories" for the "reduced
- felt effect of gravity in antediluvian times". Well, I have mine. It's more
- or less consistent with modern physics, and simple, too (all you really
- have to throw out is some seismological readings...). And, unlike the
- "Saturn myth", it's easily provable. None of this "electromagnetic
- barycenter" stuff. The gravity of the Earth was lessened because it's mass
- was less. (pseudoscientific technobabble mode on.)
-
- Sometime between then and now, the Earth underwent a minimal velocity
- collision with a quantum black hole. The singularity is curently at rest
- with respect to the Earth at the gravitational barycenter of the Earth,
- resulting in increased gravitational acceleration. After the inital event,
- matter intake rates have remained relatively low due to a combination of:
- radiation from the accretion disk, Hawking radiation, the strong
- electromagnetic fields in the core, and the electromagnetic fields
- generated by the spin of the singularity, which we may assume has an
- electric charge. In the approximately 10^3 to 10^4 years between the
- initial event and the present time the increase of the singularity mass has
- been insignificant with respect to the total mass of the Earth. However,
- the ratio between the two can eventually be expected to reach 1.
-
- (psuedoscientific technobabble mode off. See, Ted? Easy. Total junk, but to
- a casual observer I sound like I know what I'm talking about, which you
- don't now.)
