Polar Posted November 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I started a thread back in 2014 which was then closed (if you care to read): But now there has been new information on that region i proposed an impact event took place: Seismologists Search for the Indian Ocean’s “Missing Mass” [...] Geophysical studies over the past few decades have found an extremely low geoid anomaly in the Indian Ocean. This low-gravity region, which shows up as a 106-meter “dent” in the geoid, is referred to as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL) [Sreejith et al., 2013; Ghosh et al., 2017]. Why is Earth’s mass in this region so low? The dominant hypotheses are based on seismological investigations [Čadek and Fleitout, 2006; Reiss et al., 2017] and viscoelastic modeling [Ghosh et al., 2017]. However, because of inherent methodological limitations and an almost complete lack of offshore seismological observations from this region, the mystery of this perplexing anomaly remains unsolved.[...] https://eos.org/science-updates/seismologists-search-for-the-indian-oceans-missing-mass I remembered Stereologist dent explanation, as i read the article above: Quote One of the main mistakes we see here is that Mario Dantas continues to think or pretend that the gravity data represents a dent in the Earth. There is no dent. These images are created with what is termed redundancy. The colors depict the distribution of the gravitational forces. The same information is also portrayed as a radial 3D plot. Placing the 2 together, color, and 3D plot, we obtain a presentation which shows the same information twice. Such graphing methods make it easier for most people to understand the information. Unfortunately, the information can be misinterpreted. That is happening here in that the force distribution is seen as a physical shape. Mario Dantas has already posted information showing that the "dent" idea is not a dent. That has been posted in the form of actual images, not plots. It has been posted in the form of articles. Others have also posted articles showing that the sum total of the evidence makes it clear that this is an area with lower gravity due to ancient plate pieces. Another issue Mario Dantas refuses to address is that any large crater would be due to a large impacting bolide. Such events lead to tell tale signs such as increased osmium in rock layers formed from the impact, tsunamis leaving behind jumbled layers such as those seen in Texas, and evidence of world wide extinction. Here is an article that will begin to teach you about the varied effects of an impact. http://www.woai.com/articles/woai-local-news-sponsored-by-five-star-cleaners-119078/fossil-evidence-for-dinosaur-extinction-foundin-12350789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this image shows it being slightly higher The possibility that the Earth's equator is better characterized as an ellipse rather than a circle and therefore that the ellipsoid is triaxial has been a matter of scientific inquiry for many years. Modern software developments have furnished new and rapid methods for data collection and projection and, since the use of satellites, orbital data have been used to investigate the theory of ellipticity More recent results indicate a 70 meter difference between the two equatorial major and minor axes of inertia. The image above greatly exaggerates these minor difference s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Posted November 11, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Here is another lie perhaps? Quote "Most of the existing theories have tried to explain this negative anomaly with the help of cold, dense oceanic plates that sank into the mantle in the past," says Prof Ghosh. "Our study explains this low with hotter, lighter material stretching from a depth of 300 km, or 186 miles, up to ~900 km, or 559 miles, in the northern Indian Ocean, most likely stemming from the African superplume." https://phys.org/news/2017-10-masswhat-geoid-indian-ocean.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth Looking at the most important earth gravity field anomalies we can clearly see that a disturbance occurred there that lead to a less denser mass around a huge area in the Indian ocean (a clear negative anomaly in form of a crater or cavity), where in the Atlantic ocean, it is the opposite, a red mark protruding from where Plato said Atlantis to be located indicates there to reside the highest positive anomaly. But i will not extend further on the Atlantic ocean nor Atlantis, although the topic of this thread is connected to Plato's Atlantis. I genuinely want to know your opinion on this. Forget about the timing for a minute please? What does anyone have to say about that? This could be an instantaneous cause and effect scenario on a planetary scale. I know that there is no evidence indicating that it is, but the coincidence is there still. I ask, how come there isn't a scientific agreement on the matter, and nevertheless, it is like all the proposed causes for the anomaly are true? namely a sort of crustal slabs graveyard and abnormally hot temperatures in mid and upper mantle... Geoid of the moon https://www.iag-aig.org/doc/5cb337dca626d.pdf Just look at those craters, they are there because impacts must leave a gravitational trace, is it not? The same thing goes for the Chicxulub crater geoid: https://www.sciencephoto.com/media/177075/view It must be undeniable that any sizable impact will gravitationally scar the surface of planets and produce the outcome result we observe when looking at the earth geoid information.

What are you babbling about? And why? Perhaps you would, yet again, wish to read your own references: The gal is a derived unit, defined in terms of the centimeter–gram–second (CGS) base unit of length, the centimeter, and the second, which is the base unit of time in both the CGS and the modern SI system. In SI base units, 1 Gal is equal to 0.01 m/s2. The acceleration due to Earth's gravity (see standard gravity) at its surface is 976 to 983 Gal, the variation being due mainly to differences in latitude and elevation. Mountains and masses of lesser density within the Earth's crust typically cause variations in gravitational acceleration of tens to hundreds of milligals (mGal). The gravity gradient (variation with height) above Earth's surface is about 3.1 µGal per centimeter of height (3.1×10−6 s−2), resulting in a maximal difference of about 2 Gal (0.02 m/s2) from the top of Mount Everest to sea level. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gal_(unit) Now, what does the above have to do with Plato's Atlantis or Greenland plowing through the Mid-Atlantic ridge and mysteriously moving from one tectonic plate to another? And no, there are no credible indications of asteroid/meteor impacts resulting in your desired "effects".

As you are known for your claims of Atlantis being Greenland, it stands to reason you are trying to tie this anomaly into your theory somehow. Unfortunately, your proposals are not backed by any kind of science. True. The IOGL is already an important part of my theory. But is it not possible to discuss this issue, without other subjects interfering in the conversation? I don't want to sound rude, but there is a ton of material ready to be scrutinized by you guys. If permitted, that is to say, by the mods. I am not complaining or anything, but i know perhaps sometimes i get carried away and posts end up being closed. Although, for the sake of correctness, i have asked mods regarding a couple of my threads to be closed myself... But back to the point of the thread, i am supposing that if the IOGL was a crater, this would represent a large event. There would be many other consequences once a body managed to penetrate the crust: Quote Effects of planetesimal impacts During its accretion, Earth is thought to have been shock-heated by the impacts of meteorite-size bodies and larger planetesimals. For a meteorite collision, the heating is concentrated near the surface where the impact occurs, which allows the heat to radiate back into space. A planetesimal, however, can penetrate sufficiently deeply on impact to produce heating well beneath the surface. In addition, the debris formed on impact can blanket the planetary surface, which helps to retain heat inside the planet. Some scientists have suggested that, in this way, Earth may have become hot enough to begin melting after growing to less than 15 percent of its final volume. https://www.britannica.com/place/Earth/Effects-of-planetesimal-impacts The IOGL shows that, among other things, there is an abnormally hot region below. Not upon it but instead well below the surface. Another important aspect of this thread is: where else should be located the grand impact region that gave birth to our moon, according to science? Where is the evidence on earth that the impact really took place? DId all mantle evidence vanished from the geodetic "radar"? Quote Among the planetesimals striking the forming Earth, at least one is considered to have been comparable in size to Mars. Although the details are not well understood, there is good evidence that the impact of such a large planetesimal created the Moon. Among the more persuasive indications is that the relative abundances of many trace elements in rocks from the Moon are close to the values obtained for Earth’s mantle. Unless this is a fortuitous coincidence, it points to the Moon having been derived from the mantle. Computer simulations have shown that a glancing collision of a Mars-size planetary body could have been sufficient to excavate from Earth’s interior the material that would form the Moon. Again, the evidence for such large collisions suggests that Earth was very effectively heated during accretion. https://www.britannica.com/place/Earth/Effects-of-planetesimal-impacts If the IOGL represented an impact on earth, it would be without a doubt a massive one. These questions are in my mind, you know... This is in fact is very interesting to me. It is telling me a lot and helping me as i go deeper into my "research". All parts of my story are now linked to the moment that produced the IOGL anomaly, although the region of the geoid might have grown over time, i must say that it apparently formed at once, and by means of the said impact.
