my format is just self-publishing, but
always responding (top-posting) to the subjectum.
Tom Gold's theory hasn't been tested, only it has;
the oilcos just haven't realeased the C14/C12 ratio
of their "fingerprints of adjacent holes."
no oil is "Fossilized Fuel TM;" that is nothing,
but a tradename, with no technical significance (unless,
you consdier, "sediments pile-up in the ocean, and
their own weight creates hydrocarbons," to be a theory .-)
of course, Earth is growing, but this depends not only on falling-
in space-junk, but the biota of the outermost layers & the
noosphere....
I don't see what the problem is with plate tectonics, over-all,
although "currents in the mantle" is a known absurdity,
from the seismic data (on the other hand,
there are so many weird pahses of rocks at temperature & pressure,
like ice .-)
volcanos produce huge amounts of CO2, and CFCs and so on.

hogwash; spacetime is just a phase-space,
three orthogonal (and imaginary) coordinates in space,
one (real) scalar time; til Gibbs dysassembled Hamilton's "inner
and outer products" into his version of Hamilton's "vectors &
scalars."

thusNso:
you don't read Shakespeare til the eleventh grading, or
it could seriously mess you "up." til then,
one can readily study *mathematica*, which is four subjects,
in a "hands-on" manner that does not really require
the full-throated use of language -- that one is learning,
by doing stuff.
I like UD's _Math.Cranks_, because, in his chapter
on fermatistes, he only made one mistake,
that I can find, now, and he had acknowledged it, when I told him.
also, he seems to have left numbertheory, out, and that's one
of the four, the true meaning of "higher arithmetic."

thusNso:
textbooks are often *generically* bad glosses on the discoveries
in the original monographs, or simply pedantic workbooks.
the real empty set, to me, is those who attempt proofs,
without any grounding in elementary geometrical & numbertheory proofs
-- see wlym.com. and, recall,
it was Liebniz who gave the generic format of "iff,"
which is necessity & sufficiency, used meaningfully
in various ways in natural language.
the New Math following upon General Bourbaki was a silly thing,
since you *need* natural language (and diagrams etc.)
to make ready analogies & metaphors for your work. such that,
the glaring example of Bourbakism was perhaps Russell's illinguistic
"paradoxes"
-- whence "silly" deploys from over-reliance on Aristotle's
syllogisms!
--Stop BP's capNtrade rip-off; call Waxman & tell him,
we need a small *tax* on carbon emmissions, instead
of "let the arbitrageurs raise the price of CO2 as much as they can
-- free trade, free beer, free dumb!"
