I don't remember the Hobbits going to Flores! Was this during the quest for the one ring?
"The only problem with the theory is proving that a giant comet fly-by could create this large flexure of the lithosphere."Not quite.One point we have made in the past is that we know how strong gravity is and we know how stiff rocks are so we know how much a comet would lift the lithosphere, and it's not enough. "I´m carefully considering the case of the Sun´s gravity gradient and the amount of force produced. I think that this alone wouldn´t be enough " Well spotted; how many times did we need to tell you that?However there's still another problem. Water is less stiff than rock so you wouldn't make a land bridge- you would make a tidal surge.
You just don´t understand the subtlety of what I´m proposing.
QuoteYou just don´t understand the subtlety of what I´m proposing.I think you are confusing 'subtlety' with 'vagueness' or 'lack of substance', actually.
