Expanding Earth Hypothesis and Pre-Cambrian Earth
Abstract
In this article I continue to develop the TGD version of the Expanding Earth hypothesis. The key topics are more detailed views of the pre-Cambrian biology, geology, and thermal evolution and of what happened in the Cambrian explosion induced by the increase of the radius of Earth by factor 2. One ends up with a detailed model for the phase transition leading to the increase of the Earth radius. This phase transition requires a considerable energy feed provided by the phase transition thickening monopole flux tubes of the magnetic body of Earth and liberating energy. The analogy with the recent Mars pre-Cambrian Earth had a solid core analogous to the inner core. In the phase transition to a liquid outer core with much larger volume. Part of the newly formed outer core could in turn have transformed to form a part of the mantle increasing its thickness.
