Further thoughts from “Voyage of Discovery” by Prof Lance Endersbee
The central, reoccurring theme in Prof Endersbee’s book is the concept of an expanding earth. He tells of the Geologists who have worked hard to made the idea a useful and valid explanation. Endersbee has convinced me.
The book made me reflect on why we cannot believe in an expanding earth - and to usefully apply the stunning implications that flow from this.
The problem is that our word “God” is a proper noun and not a verb. A “Goding” could be in continuous creation but to us, be we scientists or priests, “God” was the creator.
One of the implications that Prof Endersbee has drawn from the material he has presented – but not fully expanded - is important question of how ground water is recharged.
In this paper I am going to add my musings to this issue.

The Atmospheric Water Cycle
Hydrologists, and indeed geologists, tend to believe that the water cycle concept explains all that is need to be known about water movements ...
The clouds in the atmosphere drop out rain, water moves across the landscape, it evaporates and travels back into the atmosphere. Later, it comes back as more rain. The amount of water in the system is considered a constant. A small proportion of rainfall cycles through the ground where it can be held captured for long periods of time, but eventually is recycled back into the atmosphere.
It is simple. There are four variables – the amount of water, atmospheric evaporation, rainfall and ground water storage.
But let us just suppose we had a planet without an atmosphere that keeps creating water. Then the water cycle explanation wouldn’t work.
And we have such an object in our solar system, Saturn’s moon Enceladus. It spews out water without even the hint of an atmosphere.
From page 51, National Geographic, December 2006
On July 14, 2005 the spacecraft [Cassini] descended to a hundred miles above’s south polar region. Working in concert its many insturments probed the enigmatic moon, monitoring surface heat, chemical traces and magnetic fields. The data indicated that plumes of material were erupting near the south pole. Four months later, as the distant sun silhouetted Enceladus, Cassini made images showed geyser like eruptions of water vapor and ice particles shooting far into space.

Water vapor and ice particles erupt hundreds of miles from Enceladus. Falling to the surface, the ice smoothes the moon’s southern hemisphere (image on the right). The jets emerge from fractures fed by subsurface reservoirs.
So there it is.
A moon with a crust and magna core without any hint of an atmosphere. Yet it vents out water, enough to make three rings around Saturn. Similar suggestions of planetary water without an atmosphere are found on Mars and on Jupiter’s moon Europa.
Rising sea levels, water from where?
In the last 5,000 year the water level of the world’s oceans has been rising at the rate of about 1.5 mm a year. This rise is seemingly independent of the two major known climate drivers, the earth’s orbital shifts and the effects of solar flares. In that time period it seems that there were no significant shifts in glaciers or ice sheets.
So where does this water come from? Last year there was a UNESCO conference in Paris where 163 scientists from 29 countries agreed that it that current rises are closer to 3 mm year - for which they had no adequate explanations. The conference requested funding to improve satellite data so these figures could be verified in about 10 years time. This will probably prove what is already known, that the oceans are rising and have been for a long time.
Some simple maths.
1. An annual 1.00 mm sea level rise equals about 350 cubic kilometers of water a year.
2. It seems the earth is expanding at about the rate of 0.5 mm a year – in the deep ocean trenching systems. This adds to the size of the world’s oceans and so for the water level remained constant an additional 400 cubic kilometers are needed every year.
3. The world’s total water supply seems to increasing at the rate of 2 cubic kilometers (2,000 gigalitres) per day.

Where does the water come from?
Prof Endersbee suggests that the earth’s mantle “… isa ionised hydro siliceous solution. The solution includes ions of volatile gases, such as water, methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide etc., which are emitted from solution with the reduction of pressure in rising magma, and emitted from volcanoes and ocean vents.”
I think that a more complex model – coming from nuclear and quantum physics could usefully be considered. Let’s briefly look at dew ponds, a fascinating oddity.
In his book, The Naturalist on the Thames, published circa 1900, C. J. Cornish gave a description of British dew ponds, excerpted here: “The dew ponds, so called because they are believed to be fed by dew and vapours, and not by rain, have kept their water, while the deeper ponds in the valleys have often failed. The shepherds on the downs are careful observers of these ponds, because if they run dry they have to take their sheep to a distance or draw water for them from very deep wells. They maintain that there are on the downs some dew ponds which have never been known to run dry. Others which do run dry do so because the bottom is injured by driving sheep into them and so perforating the bed when the water is shallow, and not from the failure of the invisible means of supply. There seem to be two sources whence these ponds draw water, the dew and the fogs..
Dew ponds look like elements in a camera lens. I suspect that what they are doing is turning a wave into a particle that then condenses and falls as dew. Consider what a magnifying lens does to a beam of sunlight, bending it to a focal point to create a hot spot.
The earth’s magna is star stuff – just like the sun. The nuclear physics of the interior of the planet is different (because the earth’s magna operates in different temperature, gravitational and magnetic ranges). But whatever is happening on the Enceladus, and other bodies in our solar system to create water may well be happening here. One wonders what it is, below are some suggestions.
The earth’s moving, stirred up magna outgases many substances, waves and particles. I suspect one is “proto-water” a wave/particle that easily penetrates the earth’s crust.
It is my observation that most of the life forms on this planet use proto-water waves/particles – just as they use gravity and light. (Perhaps these two concepts are analogous reality constructs to proto-water). Trees certainly use proto-water – their very shape indicates it. And so do people. In trees capillary action and the insulative and electrical properties of the bark help capture it. In people the vacuum created by our out breath and our skin’s electrical charges seem to act in much the same way.
My guess is that the proto-water waves/particle turns into water when it interacts with catalysts. This may be silicates associated with granites, it may be the intense interactions that occur in the moho, or the catalysts may be sequential. As proto-water particles metamorphose into water I suspect that they often move into volcanic pipes – particularly old pipes that may be acting like bark on trees or the skin on people. These link the moho the surface of the earth.
The rising, new, developing water then enters the deep ground systems and makes its way to the surface under pressure from below. Consider a 3 dimension lattice work of faults, folds, cracks with porous layers, being filled up from underneath.
As the maturing water moves upwards it releases the gases and particles that are part of its birthing process. It can also pick up salts or minerals that are in within the crust. Techniques are being developed that can locate these particles and/or their associated radiations.

Finding deep water
Traveling though the countryside a careful observer occasionally notes areas of blue haze. It seems that this indicates higher concentrations of the sort of waves/particles that are associated with large underground movements of newly forming water.
Vegetation, particularly trees, also reflect high concentrations of underground deep water. Trees often become taller for their type and characteristically branches hang downwards, sometimes nearly touching the ground. An experienced eye can pick significant differences.
A peculiarity of this out flow of gases, waves/particles from deep water is that dowsers report (and drillers confirm) that they rise vertically from the water source underground, rather then following angled faults or folds.
The aged Australian landscape often makes it easy to pick the geography associated with deep underground water. Long deep swales – anything from 100 meters to 3 kilometers wide and often ten, fifty or even more than 100 kilometers in length are good indicators of underground water activity. I suspect these swales formed because extra vegetation, over extended periods of time makes for greater erosion. Rocky outcrops, often of granite boulders, are another indication. So too is soil type and the nature of the microbial life in the soil – which in turn is apparent in vegetation.
The outflow of particles and associated radiations make signatures in electromagnetic readings and in some gamma ray wave bands. These can be picked by sensors in planes flying overhead. Processed in an appropriate ‘mix and match’ program a good insight is given for what is happening underground. Rob Gourlay (see has developed and uses such a program to accurately locate deep underground water.
