Plate Tectonics Image: a map of the most important plates of the world. The seven large plates are named in the picture. The smaller ones are: 1 Nazca Plate, 2 Carribbean Plate, 3 Cocos Plate, 4 Juan de Fuca Plate, 5 Arabian Plate, 6 Indian Plate, 7 Philippine Plate, 8 Scotia Plate Plate Tectonics is a theory which was originally invented by the German geologist Alfred Wegener in the 1930s. Unfortunately the other geologists did not understand his innovative thoughts and fought vehemently against his theories. But over decades more and more facts were discovered, most important probably the socalled sea floor spreading , and so in the fifties a new theory was developed which met all those new discoveries. This is the theory of plate tectonics as we know it today, and although it was adapted to new discoveries in details, the main theory was supported by any new find. Plate Tectonics is the "World Theory" of geology, as it explains most of the important geologic processes, which were enigmatic before. Some say, it has the same importance for geology as has Darwins' evolution theory for biology. However, in science, especially if it is a descriptive science which tries to explore nature, it is a good idea to be careful and keep in mind the difference between facts and theories. Still, plate tectonics is the most important theory in geology and after half a century of scientific research in this field a very good supported one. The basic point in plate tectonic is, that earth's surface is broken into seven large and many small moving plates, hence the name. These plates move relative to one another an average of a few Centimeter a year. Three types of movement are recognized at the

Geology and Cosmology: A Discussion (Reprinted from the Journal of Scientific Exploration , vol. 15, no. 1, pp. 134-138, Spring 2001) Letter from Halton Arp Reply by David Pratt Are Plate Tectonics the Wrong Answer to the Right Question? The critique of plate tectonics by David Pratt in JSE (Vol. 14, No. 3) is very stimulating and contains impressive, detailed data. But it left me wishing for mention of the important possible role of fundamental physics in the evolution of the earth and its possible connection with cosmology. The Olympia conference (1993) had a whole section of geologists arguing that the expanding earth was powered by a secular gain in mass. (I was there and I recommend reading it.) Ironically, further along in the same JSE issue as Pratt's article, is mentioned (p. 484) Tom Van Flandern's exploding planets hypothesis (the asteroid belt parent and the original Mars). That certainly makes one consider what would happen if a planet kept adding mass at its core. Then on p. 449 of JSE (Vol. 14, No. 3), the 18th century physicist Le Sage is cited as postulating gravity is pushing and caused by a sea of gravitons. If these much faster than light gravitons are absorbed in the process of furnishing gravity then they should add mass to fundamental particles as time goes on. It is suggested on p. 449 that this is the cause for the very controversial non-velocity redshift in quasars and galaxies which threatens to disrupt current cosmology. So perhaps this fundamental change in the assumptions of physics is connected with the observations which are being contested under the rubric of plate tectonics.
