How can my body benefit from What is Thermotherapy? Thermotherapy is the therapeutic application of any substance to the body that adds heat to the body resulting in increased tissue temperature. Thermotherapy also increases blood flow which facilitates tissue healing by supplying protein, nutrients, and oxygen at the site of injury. Studies have shown that a 1°C increase in tissue temperature is associated with a 10% to 15% increase in local tissue metabolism. The increase in tissue metabolism assists in the healing process by removing the metabolic by-products of tissue damage and provides the environment for tissue repair. Why Use Far Infrared? The circulatory system is responsible for the delivery of oxygen-rich blood and the removal of wastes. Far infrared rays have been found to have a blood circulation enhancing effect in human skin, eventually inducing an increase in temperature of the body tissues.

SCIENCE A great tectonic dilemma The premise of a constant Earth radius called into question by James Maxlow, PhD © 2021 To most people, tectonics is not the first, or even the and not so infamous theories that have been presented last thing that comes to mind when we get out of and promoted to explain all there is to know about life, bed in the morning, preferring instead to leave all the Universe, and everything. things tectonic to the so-called \"experts\". Tectonics is defined as the processes that control the structure and One of the classic examples of scientific dilemma properties of the Earth's crust and its evolution through occurred in astronomy during the middle ages. Prior to time, and these days it is considered by most people to the 16th century the geocentric, or Ptolemaic, model of be synonymous with plate tectonics. This theory is widely the Universe was well accepted by science and revered accepted by both scientists and the general public alike by the Church. and is considered to adequately link all geologic features of the Earth, from the age and composition of ocean This geocentric model prevailed unchallenged for over floors, to the rise of mountains, as well as the past 1,500 years and was the accepted description of the distributions of plant and animal species. cosmos in many ancient civilisations, in particular those promoted by Aristotle in Classical Greece and Ptolemy However, as you may or may not be aware, throughout in Roman Egypt.

the Earth. We are now fully justified in laughing wholeheartedly at this model. Why? Because we now have access to modern knowledge and we therefore know better. The point of this introduction into classical astronomy is to focus your attention on the debunking of the \"Earth-centric\" model of the cosmos in favour of the \"Sun-centric\" model that we have all come to accept without question. Nicolaus Copernicus not only came up with a theory explaining the nature of the Sun in relation to the Earth, but also removed a multitude of ad hoc theories necessary to make the geocentric theory work. I want to now redirect your focus of this introduction to a present real-life dilemma facing the Earth sciences which is as great as, or greater than that facing Copernicus in 1514. So-called modern science, because of Figure 1. Conventional plate tectonic assemblage of the well-established peer-review system in the Rodinia supercontinent (Merdith et al., 2017) place, now considers that it is immune to the types of dilemma that faced science in the past. However, ensure that he compared and assembled the shapes and in reality the peer-review system tends to perpetuate any sizes of the continents accurately on a 60-centimetre- dilemmas present in the sciences by not allowing us to diameter model of the Earth. digress and publish alternative viewpoints or findings. In his published papers he commented that: \"The reward for this zeal for accuracy was Continental Drift and Plate Tectonic Theory frustration. But in the end the rigorous approach paid off.

When Wegener initially presented his completely different to what was being promoted in the arguments for the idea of continental drift he was the first accepted continental drift and later plate tectonic to gather significant fossil and geological evidence to theories. support his simple observations for the breakup and From this research Carey went on to conclude that: subsequent movement of the continents through time. \"The assembly of Pangaea is not possible on the Earth From these beginnings, Wegener went further to suggest of the present radius.\" Unfortunately, with the that the present continents once formed a single land subsequent acceptance and promotion of plate tectonic mass—later called Pangaea. This land mass was inferred theory, these very important physical observations and by Wegener to have subsequently broken up and drifted conclusions of Carey continue to be totally ignored to this apart, \"...thus releasing the continents from the Earth's day, preferring instead to resort to cartoon-based mantle.\" Wegener likened this drifting to \"...icebergs of continental reconstructions, as per the 2017 example low density granite floating on a sea of denser basalt.\" shown in figure 1 for the supercontinent Rodinia. Although continental drift was initially rejected for many decades, when Wegener introduced his theory he did, in fact, set in motion a completely new train of thinking and Global Observational Data speculation about the origin of our continents and It should be noted that when scientific studies present oceans.

The reason why plate Herein begs the most fundamental of tests which tectonic theory was adopted during the mid-1960s is modern science is reluctant to carry out, let alone because, having just convinced science that continents recognise. could indeed move over time, it was a quantum leap in faith to then expect these scientists to further contemplate that Earth radius could also increase over time. From that moment on all increasing Earth radius scenarios were rejected and instead, scientists erred towards simply trusting their gut instinct about Earth radius rather than resorting to good science, as Carey did during the 1950s. Unbeknownst to most people, conventional plate tectonic theory is governed by the most fundamental of assumptions which insists that Earth radius, and hence its mass and surface area, have remained constant, or near constant, since the Earth Figure 2. Conventional plate tectonic reconstruction for the late-Jurassic Period on an was first formed.

model (figure 2), the Expansion Tectonic Pangaean model (figure 3) was constructed by simply allowing modern published seafloor geological mapping data to constrain and assemble all plates back to the Permian Period, on a smaller radius Earth model. On the expansion tectonic assemblage shown, all continental crustal plates assemble precisely to enclose the entire ancient Earth with continental crust—hence plate tectonics must indeed be wrong. On this model there is no requirement for random, non- predictable crustal assemblages, nor for the presence of pre-existing seafloor crusts, subduction, apparent polar wander, or arbitrary fragmentation of the continental Figure 3.

In contrast to the previous plate tectonic This simple test alone, using modern continental and seafloor geological mapping published well after plate tectonics was first introduced during the 1960s, tells us that there is something seriously amiss with plate tectonics which must be further investigated.

• 1975: Palaeomagnetic Substantiation In an attempt to quantify the adopted premise that Earth radius has remained constant over time, McElhinny and Brock (1975) carried out an extensive survey of ancient magnetic pole data measurements, spanning East and West Africa. From these measurements and calculations McElhinny and Brock concluded that \"...there has been no significant change in the ancient radius of the Earth with time.\" From this simple conclusion palaeomag- neticians effectively took Figure 5.

Palaeomagnetics is now considered the cornerstone of plate tectonic studies, at the expense of all other sciences. • 1990: Completion of Global Geological Mapping Meanwhile, an extensive program of seafloor magnetic and bathymetric mapping, accompanied by age dating, was being carried out throughout all of the oceans during the 1950s to late-1980s. This mapping program was designed to quantify the established distribution of crustal plates and hence further quantify plate tectonics. The Geological Map of the World shown here was first published by the Figure 6.

Nobody disputes the validity of space geodetic observational data. 2000: Cluster II Satellite Mission Of significance to this story is that in year 2000 four identical Cluster II satellites were launched by the European Space Agency. These satellites were launched to study the impact of the Sun's activity on the near- Earth space environment by flying in formation to gather data around Earth. For the first time in space history this mission was able to collect three- dimensional information about how the solar wind interacts with the magnetosphere, how it affects near- Earth space, and how the Earth reacts with the charged particles within the solar wind.

the very building blocks of all matter in the Universe—when they enter the Earth? The answer to this question is that they must increase the mass and radius of the Earth over time, which is precisely what is required on an expansion tectonic Earth. But, this is contrary to the insistence of plate tectonics and hence the observational data is once again ignored. Discussion of Important Events In discussing these important events it is important to appreciate that modern global observational data can very basically be classified into geology–geography-based data and geophysical–geodetic- based data. Geological and geographical data is pure observational data about rocks and landforms whereas geophysics and geodetics require mathematics in order to derive an outcome. In all cases plate tectonics relies on the mathematical assumptions and outcomes of geophysics and geodetics to substantiate their insistence on a constant radius Earth Figure 8. Present-day bedrock geological map of the world premise. At no stage is geology or shown in spherical format (Maxlow, 2018) geography used to substantiate this premise, this physical data is instead constrained to a can just as easily be closed off and each adjoining constant radius plate tectonic model. This is a shame continent can also just as easily be moved closer because geology and geography represent a preserved together.

Blind Faith or Mere Coincidence? In this paper I have alerted you to a major contentious dilemma with regard to the continued support and reverence of the so-called modern plate tectonic theory. This theory continues to be extensively promoted in science to explain a diverse range of observed global observational data and the theory is widely accepted by both scientists and the general public alike.

After that, our men buried the man who had been killed, and set fire to the place where those giants had left their chattels. Certainly these giants run faster than a horse, and they are very jealous of their wives. When these giants have a stomach ache, instead of taking medicine they put down their throats an arrow about two feet long, then they vomit a green bile mixed with blood and the reason why they throw up this green matter is because they sometimes eat thistles. When they have headaches they make a cut across the forehead, and also on the arms and legs, to draw blood from several parts of their bodies. One of the two we had taken, and who was in our ship, said that the blood did not choose to remain in the place and spot of the body where pain was felt. These people have their hair cut short and clipped in the manner of monks with a tonsure: they wear a cord of cotton round their head, to this they hang their arrows when they go a-hunting... When one of them dies, ten or twelve devils appear and dance all round the dead man. It seems that these are painted, and one of these enemies is taller than the others, and makes a greater noise, and more mirth than the others: that is whence these people have taken the custom of painting their faces and bodies, as has been said.
