The Expanding Earth: Some Consequences of Dirac's Gravitation HypothesisInternational Series of Monographs in Natural Philosophy, Volume 37: The Expanding Earth: Some Consequences of Dirac's Gravitation Hypothesis focuses on the applications of Dirac's gravitation hypothesis. The book first discusses objections to Dirac's hypothesis and expansion cracks, including geological chronology, astrophysical objections, rift valleys, rills of the moon, deep-sea trenches, and oceanic rifts. The text then looks at the origin of the oceans, as well as growth and shrink of continents, expansion and formation of oceans, growth of land areas, and paleomagnetism. The manuscript ... |
