Not bragging, but in 1979 I got thrown out of Physics 101 because I would not let go of this exact theory, It was heresy in the Physics world at the time. The professor would hear none of it. Seemed only logical to me at the time. He accused me of "Star Trek" physics. Well joke on him. Roddenberry turned out to be right on many things that have been verified since then.

In 1955 when I was in 2nd grade, I looked at a world map and told my teacher that South America would fit right up against Africa. She chuckled and mentioned that the continents couldn't move that much.
Some years later I read about Wegener, an early proponent (1912) of the idea that the continents were together at one time. The debate went for years as people looked for a mechanism to allow continental drift.

"Roddenberry turned out to be right on many things that have been verified since then." Unfortunately it seems that he will also be proved to be right when the earth is run by a quasi-fascistic one-world government led by freakish mutants from who knows where.
