| − | The one basic element of the Hydroplate Theory is a model of the antediluvian earth. According to this model, the earth had a subcrustal ocean, as do three of the [[Galilean moons]] of [[Jupiter]]. This ocean was in a sealed chamber with multiple pillars holding up the earth's crust overhead. Beginning with the [[Fall of Man]], these pillars began to buckle, slowly at first, then somewhat faster. This buckling caused some parts of the crust to begin to settle, and this uneven settling created tensile stresses in the parts of the crust that did not settle. | + | The one basic element of the Hydroplate Theory is a model of the antediluvian earth.

| − | Eventually the crust failed catastrophically, creating a seam at what is now the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This seam continued to break open until at length all of that water, previously confined under pressure, burst through to the surface. The crust was then ruptured, forming various crustal plates, or ''hydroplates'', that moved about or were shoved violently aside or into one another. This movement generated a great deal of heat, at levels that persist today under the earth.

It is known as the Beijing Anomaly. | + | Beginning with the [[Fall of Man]], these pillars began to buckle, slowly at first, then somewhat faster.

(Or else some person or persons unknown, set off a powerful but ''non-nuclear'' explosion over a pillar. This weakened it, with disastrous results long after the first event. We may never know. [[Noah]], the great shipwright and Annalist, records only that he had one hundred twenty years' advance warning.) |
