<*** EINSTEIN AGAIN ***
<
<Then the web page comments on how Hapgood (1966,
<1979) has proposed an elegant theory to explain an
<ice-free, warm Antarctica.  Since Antarctica has been
<neither warm nor ice-free during the last 15 to 40
<million years, this is a theory in search of a
<question or problem to explain.
<
<After this, the web page makes the obligatory and time-worn
<reference to Dr. Einstein's endorsement over 40 years ago
<of the ideas of Dr. Hapgood.  Given that they seemingly
<lack other more recent endorsements of Hapgood's
<hypotheses, I guess that Hancock, Flem-Ath, and other
<people must make the most of what apparently the only
<well-known orthodox scientist to endorse their idea.
<
<My response to the endorsement by Dr. Einstein given at:
<
<IV.

 .

<There, I state:
<
<   "Dr. Albert Einstein
<
<   MOM then quotes a letter dated May 8, 1953 and published
<   in The Path of the Pole by Dr. Charles Hapgood (1970) in
<   which Dr. Albert Einstein wrote:
<
<       I find your arguments very impressive and have the
<       impression that your hypothesis is correct.  One can
<       hardly doubt that significant shifts of the crust of the
<       Earth have taken place repeatedly and within a short
<       period of time.
<
<   When reading this quote, a person has to remember that it
<   was made in 1953 long before much of what is now known
<   about plate tectonics; the structure of the mantle and crust
<   of the Earth; the Quaternary geology of Antarctica, Alaska,
<   and Siberia; the creation of the "frozen" mammoths and
<   other animals; and many other things had been discovered.
<   No matter how brilliant a person might be, his conclusions
<   can be only as good as the data that is available to them.
<   In the case of Dr. Einstein, his conclusions are erroneous
<   because they are built on data which research over the
<   last 43 years have shown to be incorrect and obsolete."
<
<It is impossible for anyone to know whether or not Dr.
<Einstein would still endorse the concept of Earth Crustal
<Shift if he knew what geologists know now about the
<structure of the Earth and plate tectonics.
