This is true thats why the earth is moving 15cm a year away from the sun,moving orbit gradually at the present.
I like this map a lot. North America fits in nice to Asia. The continents were also connected at the Pacific.

Did you read Esker's material? He does not support an expando doohickey idea.
....
If you want to reference his material make sure that he follow through on his thought processes and donot misrepresent his position.

So you linked to Esker and then quoted some of the initial material from Esker and now you are saying that expando doohicky has nothing to do with Esker?
I'll accept that since he clearly is talking about other issues.
yes but one thing that has been proved is the shifting poles this could explain just about everything that is trying to be explained
BUT earth expand theory is a nice answer. Could you address that?
I agree this is not proof of anything. But being you so certain, then I expect YOU to prove the earth is not expanding.

According to Esker the solution he derives to allow a large animal size conflicts with the expando doohicky. A smaller planet would have a thinner atmosphere. Expando is a nonstarter in this case.
I don't have to prove anything. I do offer evidence something no support of expando has. The simple evidence is that there is mechanism to add mass tot he Earth to increase the size.
This says that to produce the necessary buoyancy so that the dinosaurs could grow to their exceptional size, the density of the Earth’s air near the Earth’s surface would need to be 2/3’s of the density of water.
About 4.6 billion years ago, in the earliest stages of the birth of the Earth, the mass of the Earth grew rapidly as it, along with the other planets, swept up the debris of the early solar system. However relatively quickly, within a matter of the first several million years, almost every possible collision between objects that could have occurred, would and did occur. So for all practical purposes, the mass of the Earth has been constant for billions of years. The physical evidence supporting this last statement comes from the study of the craters left on the planets and moons, in particular we can learn about the Earth by studying the Moon.
For your answer is obvious you didn't get Esker explanation. A smaller planet would have less gravity so that IS a possible explanation. For some good reasons Esker prefers to say that the earth had a denser atmosphere (the OTHER good possible explanation).
I suppose you intended to wrote "is that there is NO mechanism to add mas to the Earth"... right?
People in Pomepeya didn't have a word for volcano and they still died from a volcano eruption.
So we have two very concrete points to work with:
1. Is there any other mean to confirm the evolution of air density??
2. Is there any other mechanics for a planet to gain mass?
Of course, the author do not give any explanation, theory or proof for the air density to change, and cliff and friends do provided a new theory for explain mass gain ( in fact two: neutrinos a zero point energy).
So I think this matter is far from being set.
Also we are able to study air evolution thanks to the ancient ice layers in the poles.
when the poles shift it disrupts the earths crust the crust has to move olong with the pole minor shifting is one thing but major shifting would cause numorus problems earth quakes falling and raising ocean levels volcanic eruptions ect. such as we are seeing an uptick in now there are other threads at this site pertaining to this my family and I are pretty avid boaters and offshore fisherman and we have noticed sbstantial differances in the readings we get from both gps and compases

the earth cannot get more mass than what it already has therefore it cannot get larger unless it gets more mass from outside objects (meteors/asteroids)

Pole shifts do not happen. There has not been a pole shift in 200My.
A pole shift did happen about 800Ma during the last snowball Earth event.

Quite untrue. I did read Esker and I got it. A smaller planet would mean a less dense atmosphere.
Esker provides his line of reasoning using evidence. So far there is no evidence to suggest a smaller. Earth.
There is no way to increase the mass of the Earth to go from a lesser gravity situation to a greater gravity situation.
The expando is a non answer. It is not a good or even feeble suggestion. It is dead in the water.
There is no evidence that the Earth is expanding.
. Neutrinos do not readily react with matter.
This is just another implausible hooey claim he tosses out that has no basis in science.
The deal is to provide a mechanism. So far nothing plausible has been offered.
There is also a need to show why the Moon and Mars do not show signs of increasing in size.
The poles do not go back far enough.
Also, bubbles in salt crystals do not show evidence of high pressure.

You keep claiming that the Expanding Earth theory can't explain these things, but it can.
A large portion of the Earth could have been covered in water when Earth was much smaller. The expanding Earth theory doesn't deny that there are crustal plates, nor are the two concepts exclusive.
As far as birds descending from dinosaurs, didn't they connect modern chickens to T-rex through DNA?

Nor does it explain how Salzburg and the salt mines that are in the middle of Germany:

...and so on and so forth.
Surely you are not suggestung the moon is pulling the water tides and earth away from the sun,the moon does have less mass you know ,what are you implying because it seems like nonsense the moon can`t pull the earth from the sun,this is due to my earlier posts the expanding medium of the universe.
