Is The Earth Growing?

[Brother None]

Every post I make is a gift to you lowly peasants. Every post!

Universal Soldier is a great flick?

Shit yeah it is, son.

People don't understand that the specific discourse (not in the Foucaultian sense, more in the Habermas sense) of action films is antagonistically oppositional to the way we try to make one "scale", if I may, for films from 0 to 10. These are, 'course, a kind of Sisyphus task because people fail to recognise that you can not measure nor compare directly films from the "beefcake beats up beefcake" genre with sociological narratives like "Heart of a Dog" (great film).

It is great in accomplishing what it wants to accomplish.

Duh, gypsy.

(Commando is better, though)

Now your getting the swing of it BN! Over analyzing something not meant to be in the first place can be fun!


Now, let off some steam.

As far as my mind wants to tell, the Earth should actually get smaller. As the center of the Earth slowly gets cooler and cooler, there is not as much pressure to prevent gravity from pulling the mass towards it's center. It's similar to what happens in a star, but to a much more miniscule effect.

Then again, it's quite possible that there is just simply not enough mass for the Earth to all of a sudden expand... but that's just my logic talking.

Planetoids are not stars. The energy at the center of a planets core is not thermonuclear. It is caused by friction and the pressure of gravity on the mass inside the core. The constant currents of magma and electromagnetics cause the core to constantly be ignited. The Earth would get hotter instead of cooler if it shrunk in size.

Don't be confused by other planetoids that are dormant and bland, they have inactive cores.

I see how that works. I don't actually know why I would have thought otherwise... no more posting after midnight I 'spose.

Scary thing is, I'm supposed to have a bachelor's degree in physics
