Stellar Metamorphosis Plus Expanding Earth vs. Mainstream

 

Anomaly / Problem	Mainstream Struggle	SM+EE Interpretation
Lack of oceanic crust older than ~200 million years	Explained via subduction, but evidence of vast, deep subducted slabs is indirect or controversial	Oceans didn’t exist until Earth began expanding; crust is new because it's literally new surface exposed during decompression
Fit of continents on a smaller globe	Often called coincidence; explained via continental drift but requires reconstruction	It's literal: Earth’s solid core was smaller under pressure, then expanded — this is physical expansion, not drift
No direct evidence for mantle convection	Convection is assumed to drive plates but is unobservable at the required scales	Not needed; decompression explains crustal stress, faulting, and volcanism more simply
Distribution of mountain ranges	Must be explained by specific collision events and plate boundaries	Caused by stress redistribution during volume increase (like a balloon wrinkling)
Isostasy and crustal uplift anomalies	Some regions are rising unexpectedly	Decompression causes broad uplift, not just local isostatic balance
Deep-focus earthquakes (below 300 km)	Should not occur in brittle rock at such depths	Explained as settling and cracking of older, previously compressed interior layers
