"Immeasurable"?!? if that is so, how can you make any prediction about its consequences for matter accretion?
Either way, matter will only end up at the surface - which will have no effect on expansion.
Energy - as large as the amounts may seem - is negligible relative to the existing mass of the earth
I'm referring to the energy of a solar mass ejection aimed at the earth. It mostly hit's us in the form of energy. A lot of it can pass right through the earth. There is time where the earth is in a positive polarity and it bounces most of it away. We also know there is times where the earth is in a negative polity and attracts that stuff towards it like a whale eating up krill.
Ever stop to ask yourself... how much do we know about the inner core of the earth? We know it's growing. The general belief is it's due to cooling, but really that is a best guess as we are still not fully sure what it's even made of. Just that it has a density 'like' iron.
Is it really to far fetched to believe that their might be a process in play that converts energy to mass inside planets that allows them to grow over time?
