I know, I know some people want to truly believe that this is Gaia

getting angry at us.
Ok here is the current world
<a picture of the world tectonic plates>
Here is Pangea
<a picture that everyone has probably seen before of what the earth is suspected of looking like when all the continents were in one mass>
How do you think it got from Pangea to the modern day map?
THe earth has quakes... it has and it will as long as we have a somewhat liquid magma under us. We are on a fairly thin crust riding on it.

44. Hey it is really recent that this crazy concept
from fantasy of a multiverse has made it's way onto physics. Trust me, the physics version makes most fantasy writers flights of fancy look almost normal.
Oh and string theory is really WEIRD... quantum theory, oh boy.

I am still smiling at some of them posts... we need to stop continental drift, yep, let's nail them down!
I know some rubes that actually would not get the joke though.
-
Yet another bullet point in the old CV.
-
I graduated in 1976...I knew about continental drift all the way back then.
Anyone who's watched more than one Dinosaur special knows about the Drift.
Volcanoes on Discovery. The Ring of Fire on PBS. any show about evolution: the god of liberalism...
How can anyone NOT know about this?!! The woman is insufferable.
-
We have as much chance of stopping continental drift as we do affecting the earth's climate.
The chance of doing either is about as great as the chance nutcase nadin understands string theory or quantum mechanics.

Somebody, much smarter than little ole me, little ole humble me, is having a blast being this figment of a persona. It is by far the best Mole and Troll I have ever seen and witnessed. Whoever that is here, and I think they are here cause there are some incredibly smart people here - kudos. It is the best work ever. I am amazed. I am in awe.

Wait. what?! you mean one of US is Nadin?!!!!
(looks around suspiciously...)

Hmmm...I'm trying to recall...Has nadin ever described herself as the nicest condescending bitch anyone could ever hope to meet?

Tectonic plates: Those are the nicer, thicker, printed paper plates Nadin puts out when company comes. :-)

It's not too hard to use Google. I just search and then copy & paste a bunch of gibberish to DU...
Did I say too much?

There is a certain school of thought that such is the case...

I still think it's Gaia, I need more condescension from nadin to convince me otherwise.

Someone should slip 'teutonic plates' into a post and see if she picks up on it.
-
"tectonic plates"
What are the special brand of plates Nadin brings to the buffet, Alex?

It's hard to say whether she'd end up in a collection of Deutsche Gramophon recordings, or an article on the Teller mines of the Wehrmacht, when she C&Ps that one into Teh Google.

I was expecting articles on pewter tableware... I got links to stories about German cuisine. :rofl:
