Expanding earth possible on mars?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the hypothesis of Earth expansion proposed by Roberto Mantovani in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which suggests that thermal expansion caused continental drift. The Curiosity rover's discovery of solid water on Mars raises questions about the planet's geological future. However, the conversation quickly dismisses the idea of Mars expanding as nonsensical. Overall, the thread concludes that the topic lacks scientific validity and is not worth further exploration. The discussion is ultimately locked due to its unproductive nature.

In 1889 and 1909 Roberto Mantovani published a hypothesis of Earth expansion and continental drift. He assumed that a closed continent covered the entire surface of a smaller Earth. He believed thermal expansion led to volcanic activity, which broke the big continent into smaller continents. The Curiosity rover from NASA found solid water samples on mars. I'm just wondering if it's possible that Mars might expand someday? Sorry if this might be a stupid question.:bugeye:

No.

I'm sorry, but this can't go anywhere good: nonsense from nonsense. Locked.
