Dr. James Maxlow is a geologist who developed the theory of expansion tectonics as an alternative to plate tectonics. He traces his interest in geology back to his family's history working with iron ores in England. After studying geology in Australia, he spent 35 years working as an exploration and mine geologist. His observations of geological formations spanning hundreds of kilometers in Western Australia led him to question plate tectonics. He earned master's and PhD degrees researching expansion tectonics. Maxlow has published books and articles on the topic and gives presentations internationally promoting his theory of Earth expansion over geological time.

INTRODUCTION

6. “Nothing is stronger than an idea
whose time has come..”
VÍCTOR HUGO

7. Dr James Maxlow was born in Middlesbrough, England in 1949. His
passion for geology no doubt was inherited from a family history
of “ironstone workers” supplying iron ores mined from the
Cleveland Hills, south of Middlesbrough, to the foundries and steel
rolling mills of Middlesbrough during the 1800s.

8. James immigrated to Australia with his parents in 1953, where he
grew up in Melbourne. His passion for the outdoors was later
kindled by regular camping trips throughout Victoria during his
early childhood days in Australia, later to blossom into bush
walking, caving and rock hunting during his college years.

9. He initially studied Civil Engineering at the then Swinburne
College, but soon became disillusioned with engineering and
redirected himself to a degree in Geology at the Royal Melbourne
Institute of Technology, graduating in 1971. It was in Melbourne
where he later met and married his lovely wife Anita and during
their work and travels around Australia bore their three children,
Jason, Karena and Jarred.

10. After initially working as a mine geologist in Victoria, a
brief sojourn into surveying, survey drafting, mine
surveying and home building again saw James return to
geology, this time in the Northern Territory and later in
Western Australia.

11. His varying work experience being directly attributed to the
fluctuating stock market and mining economy at the time – an
unfortunate side effect of the profession. James spent in excess of
35 years working as an exploration and mine geologist throughout
much of Australia, gaining valuable field experience and
knowledge, which he has since applied to research into his other
passion – Earth Expansion.

12. James’ interest in Earth expansion stems from working in the
Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Pilbara region is a
huge, ancient domal structure, several hundreds of kilometres
across. There, 2,500 million year old iron and silica-rich
sedimentary rocks form the largest deposits of iron ore in the
world.

13. What was so intriguing to James was that the bedded sediments,
right down to finest sedimentary laminations seen in the iron ores,
could be intimately correlated between widely separated sites for
distances of over 300 kilometres. As you drive through the Pilbara
region, the exact same sequence of rocks and fine banded
structures are exposed everywhere along the hills and
escarpments.

14. James’ studies showed that, in the central portion of the Pilbara
domal structure, some 30 kilometres of sediment and volcanic
rocks had been eroded away. It occurred to James that this domal
structure may have been a preserved fragment of the ancient
Earth, with the dome reflecting the radius of the ancient Earth.

15. It took a further fifteen years of working and raising a
family before circumstances allowed James to return to
University.
Amidst a barrage of academic intolerance he gained his
Masters in geology in 1995, followed by a Doctorate of
Philosophy in 2002 at Curtin University of Technology,
Perth, Western Australia, including a letter of
commendation from the university Chancellor for thought
provoking original research.
Even there he had to follow established protocol though,
before finally breaking free and branching out into his own
research. Years later, here is his legacy.

16. “They think I'm lost, just because I walk in another direction.”

17. “In questions of science,
the authority of a thousand is not worth the
humble reasoning of a single individual.”
GALILEO GALILEI

18. “Most of the research is to seek funding.”

19. “The problem that mainstream geology
imagines is that expansion tectonics is a threat
to their career, research programs, reputation,
or at the very least a threat to their intelligence.”
JAMES MAXLOW

20. “We are transforming the old universities into modern shopping centers of knowledge!”

21. “An expanding Earth is perceived by
mainstream literature as having been
proven wrong, so why should they bother.”.
JAMES MAXLOW

23. As you may or may not appreciate, challenging Plate
Tectonics in any shape, form, or format, is potentially an
almost impossible task.
The peer review system tends to maintain the intellectual
status quo by rejecting new ideas. What this simply means is
that there are enormous amounts of research funds that are
currently being made available to Plate Tectonic research all
over the world.
The last thing these researchers would want is for their hard
earned efforts to be shown to be wrong, and in particular for
their academic and even international reputations to be
tainted.

25. In order to retain their hard earned
reputations, and to control the outcomes of
any outside research, efforts to publish new
ideas in so called “respected publications”
must then be peer reviewed.
Because this peer review process is
dominated by advocates of Plate Tectonic
theory, then rejection of alternative ideas or
outcomes is essentially guaranteed.

27. During his academic years James met and communicated
with many wonderful “expansionists” from around the
world. Most notable of which was the late Professor Sam
Warren Carey from Tasmania, the father of modern Earth
Expansion, Jan Koziar from Poland, and Klaus Vogel from
Germany, the father of modern Expanding Earth modeling
studies.

28. “Really new trails are rarely blazed in the great academies.
The confining walls of conformist dogma are too dominating.
To think originally, you must go forth into the wilderness.
Do not expect to be hailed as a hero
when you make your great discovery.”
SAMUEL WARREN CAREY

33. Klaus Vogel, an engineer from Germany, was the first to
build accurate scale small earth models using seafloor
mapping data, while Jan Koziar was the first to derive a
formula using areas of seafloor crusts to determine the
ancient Earth radius.

38. Anita and James visited both Klaus and Jan in about 1995 where
they gave a series of lectures throughout Germany and Poland.
They took with them early, hand-made and hand painted versions
of their earlier globes and found that they were virtually identical
to Klaus’ globes – both done independently of each other.

39. Since then James has rebuilt and extended on the globes. These
globes represent the first time that modelling has been extended
back to the beginning of the Archaean Era – for any tectonic
theory.

40. “I have been continually amazed that
the simplicity with which Earth expansion
answers so much of the Earth's evolution
has been so delayed in universal adoption.”
KLAUS VOGEL

42. It was during his academic studies that Professor
Carey “passed on” his Expanding Earth baton to
James, an honor that he most cherishes.
James first met him at 2 presentations that he
gave in Perth, Western Australia in 1988. Soon
after that James started his Master of Science
degree, titled “Global Expansion Tectonics: The
Geological Implications of an Expanding Earth”
(1995).

43. * Letter to James Maxlow from Sam Warren Carey (1993)

44. “Thank you for sending me your draft manuscript. I now
believe that you are the one to pick up the baton, now I am
bowing out. I took it from Alex du Toit. I think the last letter he
wrote just before he died was to me... With warm grettings,
and my welcome to you as the one to whom I must pass my
baton.”
- Alexander du Toit -

45. Alexander Du Toit is remembered not only as the main baton-
carrier of Wegenerian continental drift theory in the early 1900s,
but as the most important geologist in the history of South Africa.
A field geologist with observational and synthetic powers of the
highest rank, early in the twentieth century he embarked upon a
twenty year study of the geology of South Africa which produced a
series of important books and articles over the later portion of
that period.
- Alex Du Toit in campaign work for the Geological Survey of Cape Town -

46. Securing a grant from the Carnegie Institution of Washington in
1923, he spent five months in South America familiarizing himself
with the geology of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil, and comparing
this to the units in South Africa; this led the publication of his “A
Geological Comparison of South America with South Africa” in
1927, and the even more celebrated “Our Wandering Continents: An
Hypothesis of Continental Drifting” in 1937.

47. Du Toit had some success in convincing Old World geologists of
the possibility of continental drifting.

48. James was in regular contact with
Sam Warren Carey, mainly via
letter. However he was not able to
supervise him profusely due to ill
health.
His wife Anita did manage to visit
him at his home in Hobart,
Tasmania, and she found him to
be a very courteous and
entertaining man. He was very
supportive of his research.
Anita is a Graphic Designer and
- Anita Maxlow -
hand painted the early versions of
the small Earth globes.

49. In year 1999 James then commenced a PhD titled: “Quantification of
an Archaean to Recent Earth Expansion Process Using Global
Geological and Geophysical Data Sets”. Carey died in 2002 before
completing his thesis.
- Professor Sam Warren Carey at Wroclaw, Poland (1.991) -

50. Since his academic studies, James Maxlow has been actively
involved with spreading the merits of Earth Expansion, with
conferences in Japan, Athens and Australia to his credit.

51. James has published a
book on Earth Expansion
“Terra non Firma Earth”
available from Oneoff
Publishing.com at:
TerrellaPress@bigpond.com
Dr. James Maxlow’s book
deals with one of the most
controversial scientific
theories about the Earth.

52. It is commonly believed that the
Earth has been a constant
diameter during most of
geological time, but James
Maxlow provides a range of
evidence that the Earth is
expanding in size.
It's an important landmark in
science and the questions
raised in it need to be seriously
considered by all sincere
scientists.

53. "The evidence is the most decisive proof."
MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO

55. Currently James is immersed in the development
of his new book "On the Origin of Continents and
Oceans: A Paradigm Shift in Scientific Thinking",
which is scheduled for the year 2.013.
James is also involved with production of
software and DVDs to further promote Earth
Expansion as a viable alternative to current
tectonic theory.

57. James Maxlow has its own official website. Like its theory, its
website is expanding and will grow with more information
about his work and his theory on the Expansion Tectonics.
http://www.jamesmaxlow.com/main/

58. Dr. Maxlow's interests in Expansion Tectonics stem from a
dissatifaction with plate tectonics in explaining geological
phenomena. As part of his PhD research into global
tectonics, he created models of an expanding Earth from
the present back to the early Archaean Era.
This is the first time that both oceanic and continental
crusts have been used to reconstruct plate assemblage for
the entire 100% of Earth history.
Models were then used to layer global geographical,
climatic, geophysical and geological data to quantify an
Earth expansion process (Note: Earth expansion = growing
Earth).

62. “All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER

63. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePyU7cyMT_k

64. The expanding Earth hypothesis
draws on the same evidence
used by plate tectonics, but
unlike plate tectonics where
continents are randomly
shunted around the Earth’s
surface as ocean floor is
created at mid-ocean ridges
and consumed at subduction
zones, in the expanding Earth
hypothesis there are no
subduction zones so the Earth
must expand in size as new
ocean floor is created.

67. - The manipulation is becoming more manipulated -

68. “People don't want to see it.
They believe in subduction like a religion.”
SAMUEL WARREN CAREY

70. “There is more religion in mens science
than there is science in their religion.”
HENRY DAVID THOREAU

72. "I had taught subduction for more years
than any of the present generation
of people had been with it.
And when they have been in it as long
as I have, they'll abandon it too."
SAMUEL WARREN CAREY

74. "Subduction is not only illogical,
it is not supported by geological or physical evidence,
and violates fundamental laws of physics."
LAWRENCE S. MYERS

78. All these reconstructions are supported by existing and
verified data. James Maxlow extends the reconstructions
further back in time in the history of geology by the
progressive removal of young basin sediments and
magmatic complexes and the restoration of each area to a
pre-existing configuration.

82. “For a moment I thought that reality might not be as we think.
Fortunately I regained immediately my mental programming!”

83. James Maxlow believes: “There is a lot of very strong
evidence for an expanding Earth, much of which has not
been considered prior to this research. The fact that all
crustal plates can be fitted together back in time with
one unique assemblage is relatively common
knowledge. The strongest evidence in support of an
expanding Earth comes from the very evidence that has
been traditionally used to negate Earth expansion.
When ancient magnetic pole data is plotted on models of
an expanding Earth, each of the poles cluster as
diametrically opposed north and south poles.

85. Similarly, the equator derived from these pole locations
coincide precisely with the distribution of fossil species
and sedimentary climatic indicators, such as limestone,
coal, and glacial debris. Similarly, faunal and floral species
evolution is shown to be intimately related to this
progressive continental break-up and oceanic crustal
development. Global extinction events coincide with
wholesale climate and sea-level changes, and the
distribution of metallic ores and petroleum occurrences
are readily comprehended.
This phenomenon is impossible on plate tectonic models
and tells us that an expanding Earth far better explains the
distribution of all geological, geophysical, and
geographical global tectonic data.”

89. “Knowledge which is divorced from justice
may be called cunning rather than wisdom.”
MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO
