Powered by WebRing. Introduction
The heavily "cratered" surfaces of most rocky planets and asteroids indicates that most of their faultlines and internal heating have been caused by huge, super huge impacts. Other explanation is like attributing the broken windows of rustbelt buildings to causes other than thrown stones. Huge, super huge impacts would have produced shock wave interference pattern "inscriptions" characterised, on wet/icy rocky planets, by planetary- and smaller scale, ubiquitous symmetries, rhythmicities, antipodal resonances. I have found and demonstrated such ubiquitous planetary- and smaller scale features on Earth, Moon, Mars, w.1a.pps (1.3 MB) Slides 23-43, Vol y Slide Shows, Vol 0 Slide Shows, Vol 1 Slide Show, corroborative of huge, super huge impact meta- geology, in contradiction of Continental Drift and inconsistent with any other anti-Catastrophist explanation. Earth's surface features have subsequently been depressed and/or uplifted along those faultline inscriptions in a competition between watery "Freeze Effect", melt magmatism, volcanism and radio-active heating, as ocean basins, river systems and so on, mountain ranges, mountains, half-domes, hills and so on respectively. The most energetic impact shock wave "inscriptions" fringes bisect clusters of circular forms I call "SERMs" (Supercrater Etalon Resonance Manifestations), which impacts ubiquitously produce on rocky planetary surfaces, most emphatically on non-oceanic rocky planets such as the Moon, as "craters", sermed excavations. The uncratered look of the Earth is largely due to the effect of Earth's oceans on serm cluster bisectional faultlines. Top Both "Freeze Effect" AND magmatism and volcanism develop faultlines in proportion to inscriptional energisation, while serm cluster bisectional faultlines are generally both maximally energised AND uncircular, except for the largest examples, global bisectional faultlines (globifs). Globifs follow great circles midway between super huge impacts and their antipodes, most obviously on Saturn's moon Iapetus, as the equatorial double ridge which makes it look like a "walnut", w.2. Earth's Seafloor Spread from mid-ocean ridges has been globally mapped. Great Science! But theoretical extension of Seafloor Spread to Continental Drift has never been validated. Continental Drift is based on evidence and argument which are very much weaker than many imagine, v.3, v.4, v.5-6. Top In w.3, I explain a composite template configuring those morphologies, a planetary scale "resonating object" comprising the relic interference pattern degeneracy of 3.1, the impacted Green Flare of w.1a.pps Slide 41. This relic composite template evidently inscribed Earth's continents, oceans globally, as its degeneracy component, 3.1-3.7, Vol 1, is shown doing in Vol 1 Slide Show, Vol 4 Slide Show. Iapetus's equatorial double ridge is a classic, single globif manifestation, in which impact and antipode have become polar, w.2. Mars' hemispheric dichotomy is a related phenomenon. So too Earth's rough polar congruencies, ocean-continent rhythmicity, and the Moon's polar depressions, w.2, w.1a. Mars' Valles Marineris is explained as an edge segment manifestation of a flared antipodal resonance, w.1a.pps Slides 23-29. Europa's cylindrical double ridges are subsided, tough, spiralized "petals" produced by an incremental rolling action at tidal ice cracks, 2.2, 2.3. This ebook's super huge impact (THESHI) "inscribed" the terrestrial morphologies over a period of weeks, mostly in the first 7 days, as global shock wave interference pattern fringe-d fracture-melt. Top The whole, thus-inscribed planetary surface was "Freeze Effect"-ed to vary- ing extent, depending on depth for oceans, altitude for continental rain, tidal wave, geyser flooding and foam. An important corroboration of my meta-geology: Paleo-archeological evidence that homo sapiens originated in Africa has been strongly corroborated by human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)/Y-chromosome phylogeography, thus confirming the "Out of Africa" hypothesis, consistent with this ebook's Meta-Geology via strong correlations and, more importantly, this corroboration is mutual. Earth's Impact Hemisphere (IH), antipodal Africa (AA), & intermediate Region (IR) correlate with the New World/Oceania, Original World, & Old World, respectively, and the distribution of so-called Yellow, Black, & White coarse race categories respectively, before an ~500 year period of world colonisation which has been undoing these probably causal associations, 5.1. An IH-IR buffer maximizes the correlations. Yellow may be the colour of evolved mechanisms able to utilise nutrients and/ or reject toxins in chemically enriched IH-regional soils, groundwater, better than corresponding IR, AA-regional mechanisms. One/The such key nutrient and/or toxin may be Selenium, an important nutrient and toxin concentrated in the Impact Hemisphere, 5.1 page 18. Top The "Out of Africa" thesis, how African descendants of homo erectus were more successful than Asian, Australian descendants and so on, are thus explicable in terms of super huge impact. So too US Exceptionalism, Empires of Liberty and Justice and more: While technological progress and natural selection-driven genetic evolution may have been generally maximized by IR, IH migratory environmental challenges, which would have been greatest in Asia, complementary refinement of humanistic conventions would have had an opposite dependence on sexual selection, maximal in cul-de-sacs, in "mini-world" cities in out of the way parts of AA Africa and in "mini-Africas" globally, China, Japan, Australia and so on. Homo sapiens thus came "Out of Africa", instead of Asia where homo erectus may have originated, because homo sapiens is conventionist, and Africa had highest sexual/natural selection ratios. Some part of Africa (Kasai River region?) was at the conventionist start of a global LOB GEOPOLITICAL migratory evolutionary selection process . . . explained in 5.1. The strength and coherence of the planetary scale "LOB Geopolitical" spectral dispersions indicates that ubiquitous micro to intermediate scale, similarly geopolitical spectra are dominated by the planetary scale spectra. Top Three corollaries: Sexual selection has thus evidently been more important than natural selection in evolution of homo sapiens (hs), in contrast to evolution of homo erectus (he), where natural selection may have been most important. Homo sapiens (hs) would have evolved a dualistic mind from a bifurcated he mind (an hs-he dualism in a bifurcated he forebrain function); Hs-he dualism would have changed direction once he was largely eliminated and Other hs became hs's greatest challenge. High pedigree duality/ multiplicity of human institutions is corroborative.Contents at a glance
