	Adams presented these arguments chiefly through animation and video rather than through journals, and this proved to be their decisive advantage. His original '''expanding Earth animation''', ~~posted to YouTube,~~ has been viewed '''millions of times''' — incomparably wider circulation than any paper on the subject has achieved, and almost certainly the single largest reason the idea is known to the public at all.

			Adams presented these arguments chiefly through animation and video rather than through journals, and this proved to be their decisive advantage. His original '''expanding Earth animation''' — ''[https://youtu.be/oJfBSc6e7QQ Conspiracy: Earth is Growing!]'', the first of his science films — has been viewed '''millions of times''' on YouTube, incomparably wider circulation than any paper on the subject has achieved, and almost certainly the single largest reason the idea is known to the public at all.

	Its effect was not merely popular. The video drew people into the subject who went on to work on it seriously, among them '''[[David de Hilster]]''', a founder of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]] and of this wiki. Adams' animations are therefore part of the intellectual lineage of the expansion-tectonics material catalogued here, and not simply a piece of outreach.		Its effect was not merely popular.

+'''Neal Adams''' (June 15, 1941 – April 28, 2022) was an American comic-book artist, designer and independent theorist, celebrated in one field for transforming the visual language of American comics and known in another as the most publicly visible modern advocate of the '''Growing Earth''' — the proposition that the Earth and the other bodies of the solar system are steadily increasing in size because new matter is continuously created within them.
