The intent of this thread is to list shows on TV, Radio and Internet that contain garbage science. The show might be a series, like this one:
  • Coast to Coast with Art Bell (Radio)
    Credulous exploration of any and all beliefs of the paranormal and the pseudosciences.
Or it might be a single episode of a series, or a special.

Neil Adams' Expanding Earth
Comic Book artist Neal Adams (of X-Men fame) believes the earth was half its current size up until about 200 million years ago, then it grew gradually to it's current size. This is the cause of continent spreading, not plate tectonics.
For the most incredible hoot, visit http://www.nealadams.com/nmu.html and click on Press Clip #0. The videos are stunning in quality and detail.

Re: Neil Adams' Expanding Earth more than an eye doth meets
This is not all smoke and mirrors for me.

Dear ALL,
Here is the latest website dedicated to panbiogeography (and just the
second on the World Wide Web, after the "portal" managed by John
Grehan):
http://axiompanbiog.com/default.aspx
Its contents and presentation looked to me rather strange, however; it
is up to you to go there and take a look...
With warmest regards,

quote:
The last chapter, by Dennis McCarthy, summarizes and adds further evidence to his views on the impossibility to account for, on the basis of long-distance dispersal, the trans-Pacific disjunctions observed in so many taxa, both terrestrial and marine, living and extinct, with varied ecologies and means of dispersal. This leads to the inescapable conclusion that the Pacific Basin was closed in the Late Mesozoic and the recurrent patterns observed in the distribution of the biota around the ocean resulted from a single vicariant event, i.e., the opening and expansion of the Pacific in connection with an Expanding Earth (see also McCarthy 2003, 2005). While this idea may look strange (at least, to the more conservative minds), so looked equally strange the ideas of Du Troit and Wegener on continental drift when first presented to a hostile scientific community before the geological facts of sea-floor spreading turned these ideas into the overall consensus of today. “
With a book review of ;
Biogeography in a changing world .
Admittedly this does not place my own work in the best of unstrange company. Regardless, it provides a visualization with respect to the rest of the information in the pdf I uploaded that could falsify my own position. If one wanted to use biology to raise the issue of absolute space however .

Coast to Coast with Art Bell (Radio)
that'd be "coast to coast am with george noory"
art bell retired in 1998, but still occasionally hosts from time to time.
