The Expanding Earth Theory is a hypothesis that proposes the planet Earth has increased in volume over geological time. Proponents argue that this expansion explains the movement of continents and certain geological features better than traditional plate tectonics. Though largely dismissed by mainstream geoscience, the theory remains a topic of interest among independent researchers, revisionist geologists, and alternative science enthusiasts.

The expansion is due to the increase in entropy of a world system, atoms, and changes in molecular bond energies. Atoms are not forever. The universe begins as all mass, no light, 300B light years in radius, maximum density. As the edges approach the speed of light, mass can no longer be contained, and huge chunks are flung off, expanding spacetime. Like a figure skater pulling her arms in, the velocity at the edge remains at the speed of light until all mass is flung off. This begins universe expansion. And mass begins to transition into light (photons and electron neutrinos) over the next 500B years. Angular momentum is a conserved quantity in the universe. At maximum expansion, the universe is all light and no mass with a radius of 2T light years. Then begins contraction via pair production, and over 500B years, the universe contracts to all mass and no light again. We are 10B years into expansion, and everything is expanding and decaying. The evidence is clearly visible on all celestial bodies. All mass absorbs photons and emits photons (heat in the form of radiation), but during expansion, more is emitted than absorbed, and vice versa during contraction. The universe is an endless cycle between E and mc2 with a period of nearly 1T years. The expanding Earth model is correct. Mass is lost in the form of energy, which decreases gravity, which increases volume. All bodies undergo this process in the universe during expansion.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed perspective. Your description ties together entropy, angular momentum, expansion and contraction cycles, and even the expanding Earth model in a way that pushes at some of the biggest questions in cosmology. I like how you frame the universe as an endless oscillation between mass and light, with conservation principles like angular momentum still holding sway across such immense timescales.
What you have laid out resonates with some alternative models of cosmology we are interested in exploring at RIFT, especially the idea that mass and energy transitions and planetary changes are not static but dynamic, observable, and cyclical. I am curious how you see your model aligning or diverging from current observations of cosmic background radiation, or from mainstream interpretations of redshift.
That kind of tension between established interpretations and alternative frameworks like the one you describe is exactly where RIFT thrives. Thank you again for adding your voice to the conversation.
