    How big has the earth grown?

    A slight argument with a co-worker, she say the the earth gives life and takes life. All things die there for its a balance, there for the earth does not grow. I tried to make a point of saying that a redwood tree starts with a small seed but grows big enough that you can cut a hole in it and drive a car through it. Even humans start out as a seed barely visible to the anked eye. Surely the remains of the dead plants and animals leave a little more than when they started. So how big has the earth grown, if at all??

    If you think about islands that have formed from volcanic lava, the earth has grown.....

    ....not a significant amount.

    I can't say if it's growing but it is slowing down.The Earth's rotation at the equator is slowing down at the rate of 2 seconds every 100,000 years.Now see if that helps you to sleep at night.LOL

     I reckon this is as fair an answer as any JDB,,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJfBSc6e7QQ  ""

    Each of our Collectors Who Know Stuff agrees that all of these 40mm link limited editions are better than the standard production 45mm Fifty Fathoms Automatique, even if they link might nitpick at some of the details (everything can always be a millimeter or two thinner, link and smaller, right? – and remove the date window while you're at it!).

    Unlike the original self-winding tourbillon link the sapphire caseback allows you link to appreciate the mix of classic V-angles and modern traits tirés finishing on the mainplate and bridges that replace link the traditional Côtes de Genève and of course the 50th-anniversary open-worked oscillating weight in rhodium-toned 22-carat pink gold.
