And it’s time for another review of the year.
The hardback edition of The Hidden History of Earth Expansion book was joined by a paperback and kindle edition this year. Amazon in particular continues to do a fine job in promoting the book with regular sale drives.
Cliff Ollier had written a NCGT article on vertical dykes in 2021, but I’d failed to mention that last year. It was an extended version of part of his paper in The Hidden History of Earth Expansion book, and it got a good reception. The paper, The significance of vertical dykes in earth history, is available from the NCGT website (See dinox,org/puball for details).
Cliff Dunning had promised he would interview me about Earth expansion some time ago. I’d begun to think he had forgotten but then he contacted me for an interview in June.
James Maxlow had updated his book, Beyond Plate Tectonics - Unsettling Settled Science, with a second edition. That too is available as a paperback and kindle edition on Amazon.
James also wrote an article, Expansion Tectonics: Archaen to Present-day Modelling, for the NCCT science journal.
Giancarlo Scalera also continued to explore a possible cause of Earth expansion with his article, A non Newtonian view of the Universe based on Hydrodynamic Gravity and Expanding Earth.
We had the sad news this year that Neal Adams had died. Many people have told me that they first heard about the Expanding Earth Theory from Neal’s videos.
Neal Adams was most famous for his work as a graphic artist, but I was much more interested in our shared curiosity about the Expanding Earth theory. Neal always told me I should call it Growing Earth theory instead of Expanding Earth theory or Earth expansion, since the Earth has grown in size and mass over geological time. The larger size of dinosaurs due to a reduced gravity seemed obvious to both of us. I wrote a more extensive tribute to Neal during the year.
My own articles about palaeogravity have continued to gain readers. ResearchGate tell me I have over 19,000 reads now. I added a palaeogravity calculation based on a giant land scorpion that lived about 330 million years ago – giving a palaeogravity estimate of 0.33g. Unsurprisingly, that was close to an estimate from the previous year’s paper about an ancient sea scorpion that crawled out of the sea 330 million years ago. Both papers push palaeogravity estimates back to 330 million years ago. My 2012 paper, Ancient Life's Gravity and its Implications for the Expanding Earth, prepared for the book, The Earth expansion evidence – A Challenge for Geology, Geophysics and Astronomy - Selected Contributions to the Interdisciplinary Workshop of the 37th International School of Geophysics continues to be a top read. That has nearly five thousand reads now. If you don’t know what giant land scorpions or sea scorpions have to do with Earth expansion you should read that 2012 paper.
One interesting upload to YouTube was a video that showed Prof. Ken Creer discussing his expanding Earth globe from the 1960s. At that time the theory of Earth expansion was everywhere and Creer’s reconstructions were widely reproduced in various science periodicals.

Marie Tharp
My most popular tweet of the year was about Marie Tharp. The most lasting memorial she left us is the World Ocean Floor Panorama - she not only conceived the map but spent decades ensuring it went out to schools and universities worldwide. One of her final acts was to ensure the map was public domain so everyone can study the ocean floor in detail. A full size digital copy can be downloaded from the Library of Congress.
I wish everyone a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
