    Not sure if troll, too lazy to respond just in case.

    If not troll, tldr: no, the energy required would liquify (or worse) the earth.

      Not trolling, just ignorant on most related sciences.

      Honestly, that much continental drift (Pangea to modern geography) seems so unbelievable to me. For some reason it’s easier to wrap my head around the globe expanding from a roughly Pangea sized sphere and the cracks between the continental shelves filling with water as the sphere got bigger.

      I feel like to someone who is familiar with this science, this probably sounds like me saying “Yeah, but a flat earth just makes more sense.”
