“These days schoolchildren all learn about continental drift. One only has to look at a globe for half a minute to understand this theory, to see how South America might fit inside Africa’s curve, how Australia might have nestled next to India.
But geophysicists are creating theories even more dramatic. The theory of the supercontinent cycle argues that the breakup of a supercontinent into many smaller masses wasn’t a one-time thing. Instead, this theory advances the unsettling notion that the planet’s land masses keep joining and then separating. Perhaps, hundreds of millennia from now, the continents will merge again to form one giant territory.
Clearly stubbornness can always be overcome; no matter how intractable a situation may appear, over the long haul even the continents themselves shift their positions.”
