(it started with discussions about dimensions and their meanings). Anyhow, Prudhoe Bay in Alaska is a very interesting subject. I recall to have seen a film about a priest, named Lindsay Williams, ranting against big oil-companies.

Actually I think, that oil is not fossilized biomass, but comes from deep inside in the inner earth. The why and hows about this idea is another interesting, but very different and difficult subject. This has to do with what is called 'growing earth hypothesis'. And that comes from a different concept about matter (what would lead -btw- back to the subject). The oil is found according to this theory at certain locations, because there the crust is thinner or 'cracks' break it open from inside. This comes due to the process of expansion, that forces bigger pieces to drift apart and thins certain areas in between, generally at ocean slopes, because the ocean floor is actually newer crust. Or we have larger cracks, if plates break (like an upside V), what enables the hydrocarbons to raise (what seems to be the case in Saudi-Arabia). So that stuff is the lighter fraction and the movable part of the material, the Earth gathers as new matter in the stream of time. The very light is e.g. carbon-dioxide, that puffs out of volcanoes occasionally. Even as this idea was known in the early 20th century, it was replaced with a blunder called 'plate tectonics'. greetings TH |
