I hate conspiracies but...

Found this video on YouTube telling me earth is growing (lolwut)

Before you watch this, please note; I hate everyone and everything that has anything to do with conspiracies, aliens, ghosts, paranormal activity, but this video caught my eye.

Here's the video: 

I'd like you guys to explain what we're seeing here, whatever he shows us really does look believable, but I can't know if he's making stuff up or whatever.

Most of this is bullshit, I've read somewhere why this was/is happening, only if I'd remember why

Mmmm hmmmmmm

I'm pretty sure this guy is just miss interpreting the data, (if it's real data) that our oceans are evaporating and tectonic plates are shifting and not that the earth is growing.

THIS,

Well to quote him somewhat; the continents fit together like everyone knows (africa fits into south America and stuff) but the north en southpole also fit together... 

Again, I hate tinfoil morons with their stupid theories, but this I can't really disprove, please come with arguments instead of just saying "Lol he wrong, he bad people"

Well technically you could argue it does "Grow" every time something like a Meteor and other stuff from space lands.

Whatever gives them hope.

Well there is an obesity problem :lol:

[Dragonzeanse]

How the hell is this even a conspiracy? "Mwahahaha, we've tricked modern science into believing the Earth is not growing!"

[Almercenary]

Maybe he was high when he read the data.  I think this is more of a closer explanation imo.

What the guy says actually makes some sense, until you consider physics.

Do the continents fit together on a theoretically smaller sphere? Yes. Are the ocean-floor samples consistent with the idea that a younger Earth had no oceans? Yes. Is it therefore viable that the Earth was smaller at some point with no oceans, and that it is growing over time? No, not really.

The evidence he provides supports both his hypothesis and the accepted theory of continental drift. However, his hypothesis is completely unworkable because not only is there no viable method by which the Earth could expand in this way (especially without generating any mass or altering density), but even assuming one was proposed the Earth would have had a drastically different gravitational field if it were that much smaller. Specifically, it's pull on the creatures living on the surface would have been so much greater that they simply wouldn't have been able to survive (or if they could then, they'd be drastically different now). The fossils we have indicate no such shift in the skeletal structure of animals that you would expect had the size of the Earth changed. Skeletal structure would have to have been a lot stronger for them to survive, but it wasn't.

In short, a smaller Earth would either have to have been more dense (same mass, less space), in which case the gravitational pull on the surface would be stronger, or less dense and having gained mass (and a lot of it) over time in order to increase its size. In the latter case, gravity on Earth would be a lot stronger now than it was before (more mass) - of which there is no evidence in the fossil record to indicate either - and I'm pretty sure the orbit of both the Earth and Moon would be pretty screwed up too. It just doesn't work.

The guys obviously not a scientist. I believe he has to much time on his hands if he's making videos like this. 

 

Our planet being a different size also has a effect on our rotational axis around the sun.
