although they aren’t antipodal of each other (at least now in current day) and Ayer’s rock is solid stone but still … yes…very suspect.
There is interesting theories about how certain mountains on the earth used to be formed to each other and as the earth separated there’s these slanting cliffs its like seeing a jigsaw puzzle pieces kinda scattered around. It’s one of my favorite theories to think about whenever I view slanting mountain cliffs
I’ve never understood this picture. Is the joke that there is no optical illusion? I have never seen anything else than all of the plates being right side up.
You joke, but meteorite impacts causing large igneous provinces on the opposite side of the planet might actually be a thing.
(Uluru and Meteor Crater are provably not an example of this, though, for several reasons: they aren’t antipodes of each other, Uluru is five orders of magnitude older, and the phenomenon I mentioned would’ve been caused by way, way bigger impacts.)
It’s astounding that one can learn really cool and interesting stuff by posting random nonsense to the shitpost community, lol. Thanks for the link! That was indeed new to me ;)
There is correlation evidence on Mars too! I don’t think it’s been considered casual at this point, but Atlas Pro has a really cool YouTube video showing a lot of potential examples. The Hawaiian Islands were particularly convincing to me. I’ll try and find the video.
Do they have to be antipodal? If we imagine a clock face overlaid over an image of the earth, if a meteorite strikes vertically (i.e. parallel to the 12-6 line) at 11, could it result in a bulge at 7?
