A few items of interest involving Growing Earth Theory and a look at the inroads it's making into public awareness through the world wide web. Neal Adams has been busy over at YouTube, and other places, posting videos and debating the ideas with mainstream science advocates. The few items below are further indication of this persistence paying off. Our own Growing Earth Consortium web site has also become a magnet for interest in the theory, attracting many visitors on a daily basis.

Because the mainstream scientific community continues to deflect reasonable debate of its present cosmology model and science theory, we're left with no choice but to take our case directly to the people, utilizing the electronics and media communications tools at our disposal. This is exactly what Neal Adams and the growing consortium of GE theory advocates are doing.

Membership in the email list-serve discussion group, which GE Consortium is founded upon, has risen from 23 members less than 2 years ago, to 61 members today. As this is a quality debate oriented group, the growth rate is quite noteworthy. The discussions are vibrant and compelling, raising an interest in curious and independently thinking individuals, and organizations, merely by virtue of the group's reputation as advanced by its members. Another indication that, as in Earth's growth, GE Consortium's is also on the rise exponentially.

Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA) | A New Vision of the Universe

The Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA) is devoted mainly to broad-ranging, fully open-minded criticism, at the most fundamental levels , of the often irrational and unrealistic doctrines of modern physics and cosmology; and to the ultimate replacement of these doctrines by much sounder ideas developed with full respect for evidence, logic, and objectivity. Such reforms have long been urgently needed; and yet there is no area of scholarship more stubbornly censorial, and more reluctant to reform itself.

Reigning paradigms in physics and cosmology have for many decades been protected from open challenge by extreme intolerance, excluding debate about the most crucial problems from major journals and meetings. But the founding of the NPA in 1994 provided those struggling against this irrationality and intolerance with the strength, visibility, and credibility that comes from numbers and from collaborative, purposeful effort. It has also enabled them to share, expand, and refine their individual knowledge through contact with many other critical scholars, at NPA general meetings--held at least once per year since 1994--and by phone and mail, both postal and electronic.

We have seen a few newcomers to GE Consortium from NPA, and vice-versa, as there clearly exists a shared thrust and purpose, common to both groups. The latest welcomed arrival is a computer scientist, film maker, artist, webmaster at NPA, and subject of the next item.

David De Hilster | Einstein Wrong - The Miracle Year

Einstein Wrong - The Miracle Year tackles a scientifically based, though logical humanist view of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. David De Hilster, director, computer programmer in the area of artificial intelligence, film maker, artist, and participant in GE Consortium, also takes his case to the people, utilizing the film medium, and asks us to ask ourselves the pertinent questions regarding the waste of human, economic and scientific resources caused by adhering to Einstein's Relativity.

I have spent over 13 years trying to show the scientific community what I have found, but they refuse to listen. During this same time, everyone who has no emotional or financial ties to the idea that Einstein's theory of relativity is wrong, have all turned into healthy skeptics after being exposed to what I have discovered. This film's goal is to do the same on a global scale.

Ask yourself this: would your life change if Einstein's theory of relativity were wrong? The answer is yes, but not only because of what you would lose - the wasteful spending of billions of dollars on deadend experiments - but for what the world stands to gain without relativity blocking the way.

Zapruder Inc. Portal | How, or From What, Did the Dinosaurs Die?

Zapruder Inc. is a Dutch language portal based in the Netherlands, named after Abraham Zapruder, the woman's clothing manufacturer who was the only person to film the entire JFK assassination. The site covers issues of suspected conspiracies and abuses coming from the halls of wealth and power. Its mission statement, (follow this link to read a somewhat clunky automated online translation) reflects strong sensitivities to issues of social injustice and abuse of power. Within this framework, Zapruder recently posted an article, seen here and translated here, about Neal Adams and Growing Earth Theory relating to dinosaur extinction, and alluding to the suspicious intolerance within mainstream science of the elegance, beauty and logic of the scientific probabilities of Earth growth.

Zapruder is a popular and well viewed site by any web standards. More than 150 guest viewers seen there at any given time, attest to public interest in its content. This particular article, causing a massive amount of hits to GE Consortium, where Neal's Art Bell/Coast to Coast Radio interview was linked to, sporting almost 90 heated comment reactions, and receiving wide radio coverage in the Netherlands, also tells of the captivation and controversy Growing Earth is evoking.

The article's author, Patrick Savalle, under the pen username Door Patman, curiously sporting a Batman emblem for an avatar, holds his own, remarkably well, against the onslaught in the comments thread, attempting to discredit his evident fascination with, and support of, Growing Earth.

Keith Wilson's Expanding Earth Knowledge Co.

Keith Wilson is a long-standing member of GE Consortium and designer/producer of the 12" globe stand, engineered to put the Earth back into spherical perspective for more accurate study and better understanding.

Keith has produced the Expanding Earth Knowledge Co. web site, enriching it with references and commentary that shed light and reason on the evolution of renowned Australian geologist Samuel Warren Carey's Expanding Earth Theory.

WHY SHOULD You READ THIS? Because the most vital science foundations you have been taught are not as accurate as you believe, and the alternative will eventually shake your world.

Standard Science Dogma, from the Big Bang to Plate Tectonics to Evolution of Species, Atmosphere, Oceans, land masses etc, accepted the theory of a constant size earth. Not because it has been proven, but because it was the most obvious assumption that seemed to synchronize best, with all of the other theories. (And scientists likely assumed it had been proven). There are strong alternatives to each theory above, however. These Alternatives also synchronize to form a totally different science view. The Earth is Expanding. Mass is increasing. Gravity is increasing. The climate for millions of years has been cooling.

Thomas Romer's Wandering Space

Thomas Romer is a visual communications designer whose work can be seen at his primary site, The Chopping Block.

Wandering Space appears to be the product of Thomas' hobby and the fascination he holds for our solar system. A link in one of his posts there, leads to GE Consortium, and hence the reference. The exquisite design, editing and fabulous wealth of imagery he compiles make Wandering Space a splendid way to cap off this entry. Well worth a look and a bookmark.

The theme of this blog is not only and obviously space, but in particular places in space that a person might theoretically be able to one day visit. So for the most part, nebula, galaxies and the like are not a part of this forum. I tend to focus on “terrestrial” places or places that host such places. I suppose that I like to find out more about these places that we may one day inhabit or simply visit (although during my lifetime this seems unlikely). So those kinds of places tend to have surfaces on which one could walk or at least attach oneself to.

These places sometimes also have other earth-like familiar features such as atmospheres, weather, volcanos, geysers and perhaps, we are finding, even exotic oceans, rivers or lakes that are not necessarily made of familiar materials we are used to here at home.

The second theme is imagery. I will rarely post anything to this blog that does not have accompanying imagery. I think that the science community, or in particular those people at NASA, forget how important imagery is to the average person. Through the image you can better inspire the public to actually care and support the idea of exploring these exotic worlds. So often images are released to the public in false-color that are misleading or worse, make the average person suspicious of most images they see from these missions.

On that note, there are issues with true-colors and some missions in particular that make true-color images hard to determine. Additionally, images are also saturated for release or they are compiled from other data such as ultraviolet, infrared, etc which is retuned from the spacecraft. So without being a scientist myself I try to filter out misleading images of these places that show more science than true appearance.
