If the Earth was smaller, then the curvature would be greater. Thus we would expect to find a lot of old rocks with a similar curvature. And thus the diameter of the Earth. Mo Good one, Mo. ... We'll add it to the list for when this lot gets back from the boozer, ..see if it gives them any ideas. (Gee, ..dip and strike, ..they will not like this one little bit.) Do you have a geological background by any chance? |
