Truth or Dogma? An overview of the Hydroplate Theory Dr. Walt Brown

Truth or Dogma? You’ve been taught in your science classes up to this point that Plate Tectonics and “seafloor spreading” explain the geological state of the world today.

Truth or Dogma? If I could demonstrate to you a scientific explanation for the world around you that Explains every major geologic feature, as well as features of near-Earth astronomy… Fits the facts better than any other explanation available… Is a radical departure from the current stagnant dogma of the “scientific community”… Would you be open to it?

Predominant Theory of Geology: Plate Tectonics
The Earth’s crust rides on great plates that are constantly spreading apart and subducting under.

This is the explanation of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge.

Originally, this theory required only five to seven plates. Now that has expanded to hundreds of plates being necessary to accommodate the theory.

Mid Oceanic Ridge This is where spreading must occur There are overlapping regions There are intersecting axial rifts!

How do the plates move? Subduction? Physically impossible!

The slabs represented below are 30 to 60 miles thick.

The pressure on any rock deeper than 5 miles will cause the rock to flow if not contained.

It is impossible for any plate to ever depress deeper than five miles. No subducting plate could begin subduction.

What force moves the plates? If plates are subducting, what force causes the plates to subduct?

Even without the flowing feature of rock, the pressure of 30 mile thickness of rock from the overriding plate would prevent any movement of the subducting plate.

There is no material strong enough to withstand this great pressure, nor no force great enough to overcome the magnitude of the friction and great pressure to move a plate.

It’s physically (scientifically) impossible.

Continental Shelves Why is there a continental shelf? What geologic process created them?

Oceanic Trenches Why are there Deep Trenches in the Pacific? …but not in the Atlantic? How did these form? Why is there continental material on the Pacific floor?

Earthquakes It’s where the plates rub together or one subducts under the other, right? Then why are there many powerful ones far from plate boundaries, and so deep, the rock should be clay-like.

Magnetic Reversals Not reversals at all! Intensity fluctuations Some perpendicular to the ridge

Predominant Theory of Geology: No explanation for
Submarine Canyons V-shaped. Why? They seem to be extensions of existing rivers… Up to 15,000 feet below sea level!

Submarine Canyons Large River like Amazon Beach Continental Shelf Beach The “drop-off” What cut this deep V gouge in the Continental shelf 15,000 feet below sea level? Ocean surface

Submarine Canyons Continental Shelf The “drop-off” Ocean surface Large River like Amazon What cut this deep V gouge in the Continental shelf up to 15,000 feet below sea level? Beach

Geologic Anomalies Coal and oil in Antarctica Methane in ice Ice Age (s) Requires heavy precipitation AND… Extended and extreme cold temperatures… at the same time! That’s a contradiction!

Frozen Mammoths Fleshy remains Quickly frozen Food in mouth and stomach Many of them crushed Virtually all of them suffocated

Mountains Crumpled and buckled Folded sediments How do sedimentary layers of rock fold?

Metamorphic rock Requires flowing water In traditional Geology, where is this necessary ingredient?

Plateaus Raised areas of the Earth Appear to be floating on the rock beneath them

Limestone Made from calcium carbonate Requires carbon There is too much calcium carbonate to have come from known processes. There is no adequate source for the carbon!

Overthrusts Horizontal sliding for miles and miles Too much friction Materials (rock) not strong enough to be pushed or pulled with the friction that would be present And yet, they’re not crushed

Salt Domes What is the source of all the salt? How did the salt all get collected together? Why is it a dome shape?

Predominant Theory of Geology: Inadequate explanation for
Volcanoes & Lava What is the source of magma? The Earth’s crust is 6 to 60 miles thick All cracks lower than 5 miles are squeezed shut! The mantle is over 1800 miles thick and is solid material before you get to the molten core of the Earth.

Geothermal Heat What caused the magma for volcanoes? Near-crust magma is unassociated with the molten core Why is the Earth’s core molten? Earth’s crust appears to have never been molten

Sediments Stratified layers of rock — how did that happen? “Billions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the Earth”

Predominant Theory of Geology: What you were probably taught…
Jigsaw Fit of the Continents Pangaea They took liberties with this graphic. To be valid, all the “squares” must be equivalent. Compare Africa, North America, and South America. Also, much continental mass is missing between North and South America.

Jigsaw Fit of the Continents Pangaea If the continents were all packed together like this, what did the rest of the earth look like? This represents less than ¼ of the earth’s surface, and it would have been on just ¼ of the earth. Was the rest of the earth merely covered with water?

Jigsaw Fit of the Continents Not as good a fit as you were led to believe If you consider the continents with the continental shelves, the fit is rather poor.

Predominant Theory of Geology: A different perspective
Jigsaw Fit of the Continents There is a much better fit of the continents against the base of the mid-Atlantic Ridge

Jigsaw Fit of the Continents Yes, the continents were at one time connected, but They were connected by rock that is no longer present. Where did the rock go?

Layered Fossils Fossils represent animals in previous eras of the Earth’s history The lower strata and fossils are earlier times and the higher strata and fossils are more recent. Strata and fossils were laid down over millions of years.

Fossil Realities Fossils are rarely formed today Animals and plants decay. Fossils must be rapidly buried. Fossils of sea life are found on every major mountain range. How did they become buried way up in the mountains?

Predominant Theory of Geology: No explanation for…
Change in Tilt of Earth’s Axis This has been measured and documented As nearly as they can tell, it began about 2345 BC

Asteroids, Meteoroids, and Comets Asteroids: Likely an exploded Planet Meteoroids: Possibly remnants of that same exploded planet Comets: Came from the Oort cloud. A ring of comet material surrounding the Solar System

Asteroids, Meteoroids, and Comets Asteroids: an exploded Planet? The total mass of all asteroids is less than 0.05% of the Earth’s mass. Combining all the asteroids would hardly produce a planet. Comets: Oort cloud? An Undetectable ring of comet material surrounding the Solar System Oldest comet can be no more than 5000 years old Conclusion: The Oort cloud exists because it must No hyperbolic orbits

How to Evaluate Theories*
Process Parsimony Prediction *In the Beginning…, 7th Edition, Dr. Walter Brown, pp.98-99

How to Evaluate Theories
Process If a theory can explain all relevant observations better than any other proposed explanation, confidence in the explanation increases. If the starting conditions and operation of physical laws (all known processes) should have produced results that are not present, then confidence decreases.

Parsimony The use of few assumptions. The simplest explanation. Few assumptions that explain many things indicates a good theory. The more assumptions, the less credible the theory. If more assumptions have to be added as the theory is explored, it becomes less credible.

Prediction A good theory allows you to predict unusual things if you look in the right places and make the right measurements. Verified predictions increase confidence in the explanation.

“Scientific explanations are never certain or final, and the overused word ‘prove’ is never justified except possibly in mathematics or a court of law.” * *In the Beginning…, 7th ed., Dr. Walter Brown, p.99

Hydroplate Theory Assumptions of the Hydroplate Theory
There is only one Subterranean water ¾ mile thick layer of supercritical water containing a large amount of dissolved salt, minerals, and carbon dioxide, 10 miles below the Earth’s surface in interconnected chambers. Granite above, basalt below.

Yes, this is a flood theory.
Hydroplate Theory Did I say WATER? Yes, this is a flood theory. A global flood.

Hydroplate Theory Did I say WATER? Yes, this is a flood theory.
A global flood. “A global flood would require HUGE amounts of water!” Yes.

Hydroplate Theory This flood was not your typical sewer backup or river overflowing its banks. Hurricane Katrina and its flooding aftermath was an infinitesimal speck compared to this. This was the greatest catastrophic event ever to occur on the Earth.

Hydroplate Theory “We’re talking Noah’s flood, right?”
“Well, if Noah’s flood was real… Where’d the water come from? and Where’d the water go?”

Hydroplate Theory Four Phases Rupture phase Flood phase
Continental Drift phase Recovery phase

Hydroplate Theory Rupture phase
Where did the water come from? The subterranean water was released. Pressure Failure — A crack – It likely began where the Atlantic Ocean is today Propagation at 2 miles per second (7200 mph).

“The fountains of the great deep.” (Genesis 7:11)

Initial stresses were relieved when the crack circled the Earth in two to three hours. One end of the crack ran into the path left by the other end forming a T or Y shape.

Material was ejected out of the crack that encircled the globe.

The most powerful jetting water and debris, rock, mud, and water forming ice escaped the Earth’s gravity and became comets, asteroids, and meteors.

Hydroplate Theory Flood phase
The powerful upward-jetting water eroded both sides of the 46,000 mile long rupture an average of 800 miles wide. The bottom portions of the exposed cliffs continually crumbled and collapsed, adding to the debris in the jetting fountains. Where the lower portion eroded, once the subterranean water was depleted, the rock sloped downward and formed the continental shelves.

Hydroplate Theory Flood phase Continental Shelves
High velocity water and debris flowing out from beneath the crust eroded the edges of the continents, creating sloping continental shelves.

About 35% of the debris was from the basalt floor. All the eroded material gave the water a muddy consistency which settled out over the surface in a matter of days, burying many dead animals, which became most of the world’s fossils. Through a process called Liquefaction, this sediment and its contents got sorted and stratified.

Some of the debris-laden water fell as huge masses of extremely cold, muddy hail which buried, suffocated, and froze many animals including mammoths. This material did not stratify and is the source of “muck,” loess (pronounced “lerse”), and Yedomas today.

The escaping water was hot. It tended to rise to the top and evaporate. As the water evaporated, salt and other minerals precipitated out.

Movements frequently caused less dense layers to flow upward through more dense layers, resulting in salt-domes. Sediments settled on the precipitated salt.

Decrease of pressure in the chamber water caused a release of carbon dioxide resulting in a precipitation of limestone. Uprooted vegetation accumulated in masses; sometimes sorted into layers. Later, these were compressed and heated, forming coal and oil.

Hydroplate Theory Continental Drift phase
The basalt layer in the earth is normally compressed by the overlying rock. The overlying rock was blown away. Believe it or not, rock is slightly elastic. The more compression, the more reaction when the compressive forces are removed; the basalt buckled upward.

The basalt Layer in the Atlantic buckled up and rose 10 miles! This created slopes on each side of the rupture.

Hydroplate Theory Continental Drift phase Mid-Oceanic Ridge
As the floor rose, it stretched as a balloon stretches when its radius increases. This stretching produced cracks parallel and perpendicular to the Mid-Oceanic Ridge.

Hydroplate Theory Continental Drift Phase Mid-Oceanic Ridge
Parallel cracks were caused simply by the radius of the bulge being greater than the rocks’ former radius. Perpendicular cracks were caused by the material covering a greater Earth circumference than it once did.

The American plates started to move away from the Euro/African plates, lubricated by the underlying water. The hydroplates accelerated away from the widening Atlantic. This movement lasted for about a day, and then met with resistance.

The American plates started to slide away from the Euro/African plates, lubricated by the underlying water. The hydroplates accelerated away from the widening Atlantic. This movement lasted for about a day, and then met with resistance.

Hydroplate Theory Continental Drift phase What stopped the sliding?
Resistance that was the result of Depletion of the underlying water Collision with something else On deceleration, each plate experienced a compression event; buckling, crushing, and thickening each plate. This squeezed up mountains, made overthrusts, and trapped water in large voids underneath.

Friction at the base of the skidding plates generated immense heat, enough to melt rock and produce large volumes of magma. Effects of this melted rock produced marble, diamonds, lava outpourings, and volcanic activity. Volcanoes are from magma chambers generated by this deceleration, not the molten core.

In the mean time, after the Atlantic floor rose, the mass of the Earth shifted toward the Atlantic. The continental area where the Pacific is today buckled toward the Atlantic about 25 minutes after the Atlantic floor rose. This formed deep trenches, and sank the continental landmass which produced the Pacific ocean we see today.

There is continental crust found in the Pacific floor. This subsidence of the mass through the earth toward the Atlantic caused massive heating and produced the Earth’s molten core.

Hydroplate Theory Recovery phase Where did the water go?
As the compression event took place on a given continent, the continents thickened and rose out of the water. This caused the flood waters to begin to recede. At some point portions of the subterranean water were choked off.

Hydroplate Theory Recovery phase
Flood waters collected in the newly-opened basins between the continents. Sea level immediately after the flood was several miles lower than today. This allowed for land bridges that no longer exist. Draining flood waters eroded deep channels which are now major rivers, as well as submarine canyons.

Hydroplate Theory Recovery phase Submarine Canyons
Water draining at a rapid rate from the continents as they thickened and rose carved deep gouges at the edges of the continents. Continental Shelf The “drop-off” Ocean surface Large River like Amazon Beach

Thickened hydroplates applied greater pressure to the basalt floor than the ocean water. The plates sank over time and caused the ocean levels to rise, isolating animals to various continents.

It took many years (hundreds) after the flood for things to settle into equilibrium. Many of these processes continue even today.

The Genesis Flood was approximately 2348 BC.
Hydroplate Theory Recovery phase Remember I mentioned a change in Tilt of Earth’s Axis? Scientists say it began about 2345 BC The Genesis Flood was approximately 2348 BC. Hmmmm…

The sudden formation of mountains altered the Earth’s balance. This caused the Earth to roll about 45° so the pre-flood North pole moved to what is now Central Asia. This is why coal and lush vegetation (as well as mammoth and other animal remains) are found in arctic regions. They were temperate regions before the flood.

Hydroplate Theory Recovery phase Earth’s big roll…

Continental basins, filled with water, became inland seas.

Over time, many of these inland seas eroded through their walls and carved gouges in the earth such as the Grand Canyon.

As mountains sank toward their equilibrium depth, in the same way a person sinks into a waterbed, pressure under the crust on each side of the mountains caused plateaus to rise.

That was a quick overview of the Hydroplate theory.
In it, we explained: The Flood: Where the water came from Where the water went Mid-Oceanic ridge Continental plates Submarine canyons Magma/volcanoes Fossils Limestone Mammoths Coal and Oil formations Overthrusts Continental shelves Geothermal heat Earth’s molten core Salt Domes Jigsaw fit of the continents Plateaus Grand Canyon and others Ocean trenches Changing tilt of the Earth’s axis Comets and Meteroids
