I beleive the core of the planet is some sort of solid, possibly crystalised Iron (as per the link I posted) which would explain observations like siezmic waves traveling through the core at diferent speeds in diferent directions.
I have never found any evidence, nor any observation that would point to the earth having a small sun at it's core. This strikes me as not only counter intuitive, but also counter to everything I have learned about cosmology.
I hope I have got the tone of this post right! It is intended as friendly and factual. I am not too good at juging such subtlety though, see my sig ;O)

There is in reality, no conspiray of "science".

I think considering how snug their systems are sitting right now, they should be able to take such a beating on the chin. Not everyone has to be on the front lines and call it a conspiracy, but maybe we can allow the ones who are doing it a little legitimacy to do what they feel is needed there.
It's because Neal Adams called it a conspiracy that the debate escalated to the point that we have this thread today. I don't see much harm in such name-calling, considering it's somewhat true within the present framework. But I understand it's not for everyone.

I can understand why people want to call it "conspiracy". But I would actually advice to refer from using the word. If you go back a bit, you will see that many years ago, you could se "mystery" episodes on TV (I forgot what their name was), where Charlton Heston was the host. He was talking about Giant, and Nephilim, and religious things like that. And he was actually referring to things as "conspiracy" of Science.
I understand that you think it is hard to prove, something that should be so obvious. Yes, it is obvious. But it is for us, to come up with a convincing model. Not just a simple model of the Earth as it grows. But an explanation for most of it, just like a Cand. Phy., That has to defend his thesis. This is a thesis, and it must be defended. The people you are referring to as "conspirateurs", are your peers and just like your Professor at the University, you must convince them of your model. If they aren't convinced, we must go back to the drawing table and continue the work.
This is big stuff, and it has to be done right ... that our peers are judging us hard, is merely a nutch, a reminder that we must do better. As a young man, I always misunderstood my math Teacher, who was a doctor in Mathematics. I was the only one, he gave remarks of the kind he gave me. The reason was not because he didn't like me, or because he was conspiring to let me fail. It was a remainder, that I could ... and that I should, do better.
I remember one particular case, where we had a proof on an exam. I knew this proof, to 100%. I went over it, on the exam, and returned the exam paper with pride. Knowing I had right. I got a C+, and you know for what? In a series of figures, I forgot a '('. I had this one single mistake on my entire paper ... and got a C+. I was furious, because there were others who were far to wrong, had the math wrong and got a B+. At the time, I was working at the College, and as a worker at the College they could not give me leverage. The teachers point was, that my studies demanded that my work did not interfere, as so I could not afford any mistakes in my work.
Not a conspiracy, but a justified critique. And my point is, so are these arguements ... they are a justified critique, that demand of us, that we do our homework better, and plan our model better. We have to put together the pieces of the puzzle, in a way that we can convince our skeptic peers.

I really commend you for not thinking your teacher might have been unfair. Getting such a grade for such a small mistake, well, I don't know. Especially if others whose math was wrong got better ones. So, alright, it taught you something. But what about the teacher?
One thing I'll say for you is that you have a wonderful open mind and a good grasp of how things work. I wouldn't want to see you get aggressive because that never really helps. But I think that when the chips are laid down and it becomes a "no compromise" situation, then you're not likely going to compromise either. Growing Earth compels us to make a stand.

I think Niel Adams did a fantastic job, in making this visible. What I do think, is that people are spending far too much energy in fighting plate tectonics, instead of using the energy in putting the model up in a working manner

As far as EE theory goes - then it simply never existed!

Aye, they should start by showing how the EE model provides a better explanation for Rodina.

Oh, wait, sorry, that's how we falsified the idea several pages back. Oh well, next please?

Exactly! Everything for most of Earth's history never existed - because it all began just a few hundred million years ago with Pangea. It's basically just a variant of Young Earth Creationism.

Although Niel Adams is very gifted, he lacks some aspects in his picture. The aspects are the rifts that are on top of continents, of africa, Iceland, America, etc. Earth didn't start to grow, 200 million years ago, it's been growing since it's formation, and since the crust was collected over the plasmatic core.
The ocean bottom, is where this is obvious, and really can't be refuted. But although it appears to be happening at an exponential rate, people have not made account for, that the new crust that is forming at the oceans, is actually pushing and compressing the older crust. The heat, and preassure of the new crust against the continents and beetween these and the rifts at the ocean bottom. Makes this occurr ... you can verify this with any matter, that you have that will "stiffen". The older material will be compressed and the new material will appear to be greater in volume. In other words, there is no "exponential" growing of the earth.
What I am suggesting, is, that if the earths core is a plasma core. Which I suspect it is. Basically, because the earth is round shaped, and not a mishapen ball. Earths gravity would dictate, earth should be misshapen. Just like so many large rocks floating in space, earth should be equivalent.
