Ideas
In writings collected under the title "Physical History of the World", Cagle proposes that the Earth's core contains a large-scale magnetic "flux loop" structure that oscillates between electric- and magnetic-field modes, and he draws an analogy between this mechanism and the young stellar object HH-30. From this he argues for an expanding Earth and for a fusion-reactor concept that he invites engineers to build. His proposals have not been accepted by the scientific community; the Expanding Earth hypothesis was abandoned by mainstream geology following the establishment of plate tectonics, and his work falls outside accepted physics.
