What do you think of this earth theory?

Question

Most of us have noticed when you place a brick or heavy object on the bare ground that it slowly sinks into the ground, over time. It would seem to me that the earth is a giant sponge in a constant cycle of absorbing itself from the inside out. We know we have a reasonable history of mankind of 7-8 thousand years, we have some fossils that date even further but that's not my point. Is it possible that the earth has been swallowing up the history of man for 10's of thousand if not millions or billions of years. Could it be that we now are just in one of possible millions of evolutions or cycles of the earth. Could it be that there was once very soficated civilizations that rivaled or even surpass's our own that destroyed themselfs etc.

What do you think?

Answer 1

"All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again."

Of course, that would explain the Sphinx, Pyramids, the lost city of Atlantis, and the Crystal Skull, and all the Myths and Legends around the world.

This beats the hell out of string theory.

Answer 2

I would say no. Basically because as advanced as we are, I think a lot of what we produce would endure at least thousands of years, and a more advanced civilization wold surely have left something... like buildings on the moon, or nuclear waste storage sites that would still leave some signs...

But, there are probably some things we'll never know due to the way the earth does recycle its crust...

Plus, science is fairly good at dating things, and modelling what has happened as the earth evolved. I prefer to see things the Star Wars way... other civilizations existing perhaps a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. And, by crunching the numbers, I don't think we are it for sentient life forms in the universe even now.

Answer 3

You would be right in a way. No, things don't sink back into the ground. Yes, any evidence of an advanced civilization is erased from our planet and from our minds. There is something fundamentally wrong with the way our dating methods work: they assume the decay rates have always been constant, that the energy fields of our planet remain constant at all times. Find out what gravity is, what it REALLY is and not what NASA or space.com tell you, and you'll be a little bit closer to the truth you are seeking.

Answer 4

I don't want to be the one to pee on your theory, but I live in Maine and if that brick sunk into the soft soil, I guarantee you when the frost buckles the ground, it's coming back up!
When post supports are dug into the the ground around these parts they better be at least four feet deep or they swap holes come spring when the ground thaws.

Answer 5

Maybe the reason the brick sinks is because earth worms are eating rotting vegetation on the surface giving this impression.

Answer 6

Hi. The brick sinks into soft soil. It would not sink into granite. Any advanced civilization should have left more that stone tools as evidence. Just my opinion.

Answer 7

It's possible.

Odd thought, but it's refreshing to think about.

Answer 8

I can see you're interested.......but you need a bit of teaching. Try a geology class.

try this on for size.....

Answer 9

I think it sucks

Answer 10

I thought so!
