This planet, unfortunately, has a fixed radius ...

Didn't you know, the Earth is expanding! It grows for us, to sustain our man-made Cockaigne indefinitely! You can watch it happen here.

Just kidding. We are doomed and nothing can save us. There are simply too many people with their heads in the clouds, unwilling to face reality and act accordingly.

Why do you mock Samuel Warren Carey's work? Have you actually done any real research on it? If planets arent growing, then try explaining this video. I've said it a million times, put your money where your mouth is. At least have the intellectual honesty to try and explain Neal Adam's videos. There are a dozen more that are equally convincing.

I find it ironic that you'd say "We are doomed and nothing can save us." The solution lies along the same path as expansion tectonics. There are whole avenues of science that remain closed off to the scientific community. From the insights revealed by Kirlian photography to the beautiful simplicity of the WSM, the possibilities are amazing. Maybe if you took a little time away from all your doom and gloom...

If people continue to allow themselves to be manipulated into a very limited scientific paradigm, then yes we are doomed. The "powers that be" today are even more powerful that the "powers that were" hundreds of years ago that had everyone convinced the earth was flat. Why people choose to be enslaved by these same forces throughout history is something that I may never understand. But if we are doomed, it is only due to a failure to use our brains.

If planets arent growing, then try explaining this video.

Not a convincing explanation at all.

How about this? Water ice under high pressure at a potential subduction zone melts - that's how ice skates work - and any water produced would sink below ice without trace through the obvious cracks.

So you don't see subduction zones or need expanding planets, just a simple everyday phase change, all you see is the spreading zones as underlying liquid water freezes as it is exposed in the cracks between the moving plates of ice. The smooth filling of the gaps between the obviously spreading plates of ice is just evidence of liquid water under the ice.
