Now think- planets are formed by centrifugal whirling. This is nature´s
process, we can see it in the formation of galaxies. In such a process,
the sedimentation would congregate around the equator, formng a bulge,
where planets do have a bulge; a hollow cavity would open up, where
they do have hollow cavities; and the polar-axial points would be thin
and openings would even form there, where they do have openings.
This is what we are seeing in the polar depression on Mars- the crust
is thin there, and those cracks could go all the way in.
The crater floor is so thin that radiation can pass through it without a physical thoroughfare.
As we've discussed before, this clearly evidences a crustal thinning model that has not been really considered seriously by many of the more seemingly serious researchers and theorists (vs the non-thickness-differential model that I seem to nearly always see and hear of):
Joseph H. Cater wrote me in a personal letter (he wrote me twice) that "With no large openings, Mars has to have a relatively thin shell." http://www.holloworbs.com/real_mars.htm
The ravine-like cracks at the crater floor, of that huge crater at the Martian North Pole, could go all the way through, but I agree that any significant radiation and emantes from the Martian Pole probably passes through the crater floor.
The Broken Auroral Ring image (Culled by Rodney M. Cluff) suggests that the crust is thin enough around the Arctic to allow such passage. But I imagine that, in this case, the confinement dome had a backlog and radiations spewed out sideways and emenated from where it was thin.
Would you mind scanning your letters and sharing these gems with the community?
Unfortunately Rodney Cluff seems to subscribe to the singular thickness theory vs a thinning crust as far as I can tell, which is unfortunate given all of his other wonderful observations. I just see no way that this consistent / single thickness is possible for the planets and believe that all are after this fashion of having the cracks / crevices due to thinning at the poles with thicker crusts at the equatorial regions.
About the two letters, I really don't think I have them anymore. But I might still run across them in the file registry because I am snooping through that time period, and I pecked them down by hand and I might run acros them. I copied them on the keyboard and sent them to the list.
I agree with you that the planet would have to be thicker at the girth than at the polar extremes. The images of the rvine-like cracks on the crater floor of the Martian pole practically proves this. We don't find such cracks along the girth of our planet, nothing that seems to go so deep.
