You don't need an axis, fixed or not, to throw off the balance of anything spinning. Imbalance will result in a wobble. It is all about the center of mass, as numerous links provided earlier have shown.
Ever shoot a basketball that with age has gotten off balance?
Speculating on new evidence is what people should do, how do you not get this?

The expando earth so-called theory has zero explanatory capability.
Your claims about subduction are so far off the mark it is not funny. Subduction is a well studied process. The interactions of the plates at subduction zones is well studied. Seismic evidence makes it possible to map the plate boundaries and to determine the motions of the plates.
Plates are note expanding, at least not in the sense used by the flawed idea called expanding earth. Thermal changes in plates actually causes shrinkage in the sense of volume change used in expando earth. The method of plate destruction is well studied and has been for decades.
I know that is what the lock step groupthink amongst most geological institutes is - but it is just that groupthink! because the real truths are beyond the boundaries of what the elites have limited human knowledge to. To really give a true picture you would have to incorporate the unseen worlds, alien intervention, previous civilisations etc etc - stuff that the elites do not want to become common knowledge.
there are plenty of geologists here that think Plate tectonics is bunk.

If you don't want people making statements about their beliefs in science, then you shouldn't make statements about others beliefs. You were replying to a post I made originally.
There are more than a few links on this thread where large numbers of geologist support the idea of the expanding Earth theory. For you to pretend this isn't the case, and off handedly dismiss the whole concept without even explaining how your came to such a conclusion, pretty much leads to my statement.
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
As far as rotational speed goes, the size of the mass is a huge factor, as well as the duration of time that the body is spinning with a off balance weight distribution is an even bigger factor. At the equator, the Earth's surface is moving over a thousand miles per hour. I don't think you comprehend what you are talking about. The planet was spinning with this massive continental imbalance for 40 million years.
An Earthquake and tsunami were able change the rotation of the Earth's axis. Yet you don't think the concentration of the Earths continental mass on one side of the planet would have any effect?

Approximately 600 to 860 milligrams of matter in the bomb was converted into the active energy of heat and radiation (see mass-energy equivalence for detail).

The creation f new matter is a dead end. Earlier on I calculated the amount of energy it takes to create new matter. It's a lot of energy. Consider this:

Little Boy
Not even a gram of matter destroyed Hiroshima. Obviously billions of Hiroshima energies must be converted to matter to expand the Earth as suggested by the expando earth theory.
The believers in this rather ludicrous idea (not a theory in the scientific use of the word) claim other possibilities such as accretion from space. The astronauts on the Moon encountered a few centimeters of dust, not the hundreds of kilometers of dust envisioned by expando earth people.
The lame guess called expando earth is not a theory. It's malarkey.
can only see it in the southern most parts of Earth. you should know this. its very much so there. i have seen it. good day and good luck to you all.
"Im obviously too into mainstream scientific method to figure it out. "
Following this through, the central core of the planet is neither solid nor molten iron - it is a super heated, highly energised state of matter i.e. plasma. p
Perhaps when the mass of a planet is large enough, it begins this process of changing and joining elements until it produces fissionable material and it ‘ignites’.
Such energy levels would be created at the central core of a large enough body of mass because of the intense pressure it would be under.
It would then not only be able to add electrons/protons to existing atoms or join atoms together to create compounds and molecules but actually create new matter from condensed energy. The first atoms would of course be the simplest, hydrogen and helium for example, which just so happens to be the most abundant elements in the universe. [/quote
This is another leap not suggested by the material before it. First you suggest that pressures allow fusion and not you want to create protons and electrons from energy. Not happening! Besides if it were possible the process of converting energy to matter would soon cool down the core and the process would cease without much mass having been created.
Accretion is irrefutable.
True, but it is remarkably small, centimeters in billions of years.
Matter creation is theoretical, but it is a logical deduction and therefore quite probable.
It's your guess or theory. It does not follow from scientific theories,
They knew about seafloor spreading, but dismissing accretion of cosmic dust as insignificant (with evidence to the contrary; silt levels in oceans, stratification (layers) of different types of rock – these come from above, not pushed up from below) and believing the core of the planet was molten iron (without any evidence) they preferred the idea of a fixed size Earth.
How wrong you are! Again!
1. Silt from above has a terrestrial origin, not an extra-terrestrial origin. The material of the sea floor are well known, well studied, and are from terrestrial sources.
2. The iron core evidence includes seismology, studies of element abundance in the universe, direct studies of mantle rocks, geomagnetism, known mass of the Earth, ...
In order to make this idea work they invented the idea of subduction zones whereby the seafloor spreading was cancelled out by the other side of the ‘tectonic plate’ sinking underneath another one. This defies both logic and physics. A lighter, less dense material cannot push down through a heavier, denser material whilst also going against the pressure pushing everything up (if there was no pressure pushing up we wouldn’t have volcanoes).
That's just silly talk. Subduction zones are well mapped by seismological evidence, volcanic evidence, and orogenic studies that show the plates moving down and into the mantle.
However, some very god animations have been created which helps us along with this. Do youtube search for Expanding Earth.
Skip the science and head for the videos done by hoaxers. Good plan.
but nevertheless the continents match up.
So the idea is to attach to mismatched geological structures using graphics that do not consider what happens when objects are heavily restructured through flattening.
If gravity was less then creatures would not be as limited in size as they are now which explains (and is the only explanation) why dinosaurs grew to such massive sizes.
Perpetuating a falsehood is just another clear sign that this expanding earth claim is just nonsense. The claims of a requirement for a lower gravity have also been made about redwood trees. Obviously, the initial ideas on how plant vasculature works in these tall trees is incorrect and since been resolved.
The future of Earth (and all heavenly bodies)
All of what follows appears to be flawed claims based on the flaws already pointed out.
Does a baseball have an axis? No, but pitchers are able to do many things by getting it off balance, which is why the league has rules against those techniques.
I can hear your argument now, but the Earth isn't thrown like a baseball, blah blah blah, like all other balls without axises, it proves that wobble can be cause by off balance.
By the way, do you have any idea how heavy an atomic bomb is? If all it took was the weight of a nickel, atomic bombs would not be nearly as heavy as they are. Clearly you have no concept how the fission process works.
