Is the Earth like a giant Geode?...According to Neal Adams...Yes, it is.

Factual Questions
1

Respected comic book creator Neal Adams has an “interesting theory”.

So… um… how much of a crack pot is he?

A friend of mine saw him do a presentation at the San Fran comic convention on this topic and is convinced that it is true. When my friend explained this theory to me… I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Wow…just…
Wow. I need to go wash my brain.

3

I had a friend who rambled like that every time he ate magic mushrooms.

Why the hate? I found one sentence that is absolutely true:

Reading Adams’s screed, I get the distinct feeling someone’s being whooshed.

See this http://www.seismo.unr.edu/ftp/pub/louie/class/plate/composition.html.

As it says, the densest primary constituent (Iron) sinks to the core. It is physically impossible for significant amounts of gas to exist there.

Well, from the same site, this (warning: PDF) reads like a couple of pages the editor cut out of the Principia Discordia cause it didn’t flow well.

Remember what the aliens told L. Ron Hubbard: “They may be pink, but their money is green.”

Wow, Neal thought of everything. I like his counter-argument against the measured density of the Earth:

This seems to be a new twist on the old hollow-earth theories but without the people living inside. Unless he’s holding back that part.

Respected by whom and for what purpose(s)? Is the respect based upon his abilities as a comic book creator? If so, how does that translate into other subject matter areas?

Say, if I were a well known, top quality film actor (who never graduated from high school nor indicated any further known educational endeavours, to carry the scenario further), do my acting abilities give me credibility in other areas totally unrelated to my acting prowness, say psychiatry, for example? :smiley:
So what is Adams respected for and how does this respect apply to his “interesting theory?”

I caught part of an interview with him on Art Bell tonight. He sounds like he actually believes this crap. He thinks that this is the only thing that explains how the dinos could be so large, since his artistic training tells him that if a T. Rex was to turn while running at a full gallop, it’s head would snap right off.

Will someone please write to this nutjob, and explain to him that the “meteors” that we actually have found on the surface of the earth haven’t been hollow? And while you’re at it, explain the idea of a rock hurtling through space, gradually aquiring the dirty snow and such?

Man, this guy…

Let’s get him and Cubic Space guy together!
