There are a few factors that occur in the sequences leading up to the rapid and delayed plate tectonic movements. One of the closest an most thermally unpredictable is our sun. This ball of fire is always changing its temperature, never constant, and sometimes emitting Coronal mass ejections that may heat up things here on earth. Those changes ever so slight an sometimes violent effects our molten mantel, in turn shrinking the thickness of our thin crust, as this happens the mantels fluid Coriolis affects the rapid displacement of our crust globally. Common sense Einstein is not silly, that is why we are scientists, to ask questions, to come up with a hypothetical answer that might change the world some day, literally. (Who knows may be save some lives in the process). ~ ~ ~ ~ For more on the Sun's potentially violence please see Jared Freedman's work This is covered in some detail in the 2009 eBook edition of When the Sky Fell.

I think cooling is the way the world cleans itself.I think that we are heating up now ,but there will be very fast cooling and when i mean fast i am talking 5 to 10 yrs.if u stop the atlantic ocean the east coast will become cold place south west will become hot hotter then it is now because it will become very dry. washington state and or. will rain even more and very cold. i think things start slow but after alittle change start to change alot faster.about the plates just hope einstein was wrong but he was very smart so i would not bet against him.

*L* I suspect the reason that people from other fields can spot major new theories/ideas outside of their area of expertise, is exactly because they haven’t been formally educated in that field and can look at it with ‘new eyes’, while thinking outside the traditional/academic square.

I think your are correct about this and the history of science confirms this as has been documented by Thomas Kuhn.

Is it possible there was mathematic support from Einstein for Hapgood? I do. – Teresa
. . . .
Albert Einstein wrote about Charles Hapgood’s theory of earth crust displacement in a letter (14 January 1954) to William Farrington of the Department of Geology and Minerology at the University of Massachusetts. The mathematics in the letter are beyond me but I have tried to interest qualified scientists (e.g, Robert Schoch, Victor Clube) but none have been willing to make a public statement about it.

Einstein’s last line to Farrington, however, was perfectly clear to anyone:

“I think that the idea of Mr. Hapgood has to be taken quite seriously.”
