Description
I finally finished the last frame (with big-time help from RenderSpell) of the "hair" project I've been working on since (gasp!) April. Should have something to share from that in the next day or two.But I needed a little something different to celebrate with. I dug back into my Saucer scene with the idea of realizing the remaining un-rendered view from Ring Drone 2. It needs some work - and some rendering - RenderSpell may not want anything to do with this after all the POSer nightmares we went through with the recent jobs. We'll see.
In the mean time - here's the saucer about to go through the energy dome.

How satisfyingly silent this is, save the hum of the anti-gravity device (I can't remember if the roof opens, I do hope so!)
Anyhow, decided to take the debate to you (we've filled my page). Well you sure got me thinkin' phraught in a decidedly happy way 
Unfortunately, because "scientists" just perpetuate or invent "facts" as they go along, we'll have to assume Earth = 4.5 billion years old (?)
If you interpolate "expanding Earth" data, Then it originally had a radius of some 2500km. Today 6400km > Equals a (linear) expansion of .02"/year or 1" every 50 years....but the moon is moving away from us at a rate of about 1.6"/year > So it's impossible to give an accurate Earth/Moon measurement.
Interestingly enough, if you extrapolate "expanding Earth" data you eventually end up with a gas giant (such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune )
As for "the oceans waiting offshore" (
And poor Neal Adams a mere comic book artist... Arthur C. Clarke (inspired by H.G.Wells/J.Verne/E.A.Poe), Isaac Asimov et al, even Douglas Adams have furthered our understanding of everything (42) far more than our irreproachable self-important academicians. Let's not forget that the physics we learned is based on the works of a disturbed deeply-religious full-time alchemist who invented the cat flap, long long before electromagnetic force was discovered.
(As always thanks for keeping my brain alive, much appreciated)

Oh - and sorry, the roof doesn't open. Turns out it's actually an energy field. In standard mode it looks like glass and steel. In high-power mode, it glows green and can allow solid objects (like saucers and ring drones) to pass through it. At least, that's how the aliens explained it to me.
(Really do need to name these guys at some point.)

Ah - great stuff! (42 to you too!)
I like the numerical analysis - though I thought I heard him say in the video that the earth had doubled in size in just the last 65 million years or so. But I'm not going to get hung up in this stuff. Fascinating what folks come up with.
As to the "disturbed deeply-religious full-time alchemist" I'm pretty sure I know of whom you speak. I read a short story in Omni magazine (a long time ago) about a guy who goes back in time to give a calculator (back when they had red LED displays) so that you-know-who didn't have to be bogged down in all those calculations and could get on with other wondrous things beyond optics and calculus. Of course, as he demonstrates the device, he inadvertently produces a result with evil numerological connotations. That, and the glowing read eyes like the devil of the device have the opposite affect and our hero is launched into the religious goofiness he is less known for.
I'm vaguely familiar with Cockney Rhyming Slang from my days at the Britannia Arms Pub out here, hanging w/ my old friend Chris (who happened to be Welsh). I became familiar with "trouble and strife", "bubble and squeak" (oh wait, that's a dish
See what a little morning coffee can do! Always good trading thoughts (or whatever these are) with you!
