Neal Adams

Art chatted with comic book legend Neal Adams(1) about his research on a new model for the Universe and his theory that the Earth is growing. According to Adams, our planet was once only a quarter of its current size, with continents covering most of the world. If one reduces the ocean areas, he explained, the continents fit together perfectly on that smaller globe.
A smaller Earth would also have a corresponding reduction in gravity, Adams proposed. The effect of lower gravity on a smaller planet is what Adams thinks caused the dinosaurs to grow so large. Reduced gravity would not only affect the physical structure of dinosaurs but their movement as well. Dinosaurs had long, down-facing legs and moved more like mammals than contemporary reptiles, Adams noted. This allowed dinosaurs to achieve a speed that would not have been possible under present Earth gravity, he said.
Adams also talked about the physics behind an expanding Earth, citing Carl David Anderson's cosmic ray experiments in which a positron was "created out of nothing." He believes this kind of research shows that matter is in continuous creation in the universe, and helps explain how our planet keeps growing.

To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit And Like To Complain About Our Pets:
They live here. You don't.If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.)I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they...
Eat lessDon't ask for money all the timeAre easier to trainUsually come when calledNever drive your carDon't hang out with drug-using friendsDon't smoke or drinkDon't worry about having to buy the latest fashionsDon't wear your clothesDon't need a gazillion dollars for college, andIf they get pregnant, you can sell their children
