Scott Adams of Dilbert fame has also proposed the "everything is constantly getting bigger" theory of gravity.
So I suppose asking how a crank physics theory is supposed to work is like asking Lewis Carroll for proof of concept but... what exactly is the the appeal of this? I don't even see the surface plausibility.
I liked Ali's review best. She wrote,
You jump into the air -> Earth expands -> voila, now you're touching the Earth again.
Bwahahahaha. Alright. I see it. Thanks. :-)
But what does this theory say about orbits? or escape velocity?
"Shut up"
I think a better question would be, what does this theory say about mass? As opposed to volume and distance? How can an object be equidistant between two other equally-sized objects and be attracted to one of them more than the other?
It fails even as a crank theory.
I too have stumbled on "The Final Theory", and was wondering what it was all about - though not enough to actually spend money on the book. Thanks for digging this up!
