William Pagano’s presentation will focus on how the Earth is special and appears to be “alive”.  The Earth’s surface reveals details of its geological evolution based on the very real presence of “energy fractals” that can be observed most easily by screenshots of Google Earth at various magnifications. Energy fractals are images of interference refold structures and other structures such as boudins, folds, and S-C structures among others that are observed all over the Earth and visible as bordering or encompassing rivers, lakes, swamps, ridges, topographic characteristics, vegetation type or color, lineations, etc. It is these apparently supernatural energy fractals that provide amazing detail of the geologic evolution of the Earth while revealing two distinct and related driving mechanisms of tectonics.

Abstract:

The Earth is special and appears to be “alive”.  The Earth’s surface reveals details of its evolution based on the very real presence of “energy fractals” that can be observed most easily by screenshots of Google Earth at various magnifications.  Energy fractals are images of interference refold structures and other structures such as boudins, folds, and S-C structures among others that are observed all over the Earth and visible as bordering or encompassing rivers, lakes, swamps, ridges, topographic characteristics, vegetation type or color, lineations, etc.  Because of this, they sometimes control topography to some degree although often not aligning with rock type or compositional layering.  The novel discovery of energy fractals is described and presented in great detail without giving a formal definition due to its complexity.  However, descriptions of their behavior, characteristics, and noteworthy/interesting aspects are discussed.  Various deep, ductile fault systems in North America that control brittle faulting are mapped out by the characteristics of the energy fractals which appear to have a “will or agenda” and enter ductile and sometimes brittle faults parallel or perpendicular to them.  The Earth reveals its present-day condition as a collection of large intact and broken up approximately 1.1-million-year-old extraterrestrial interference refold structures (the “boats” or continents).  Mapped brittle fragments, sheets, and cratons of closely to subtly related surficial and often older extraterrestrial Precambrian rock compositional fabric (the “passengers”) overly or even comprise the interference refold structures.  The present-day condition is reverse engineered back in time by using available published geologic literature, analysis of dynamic signatures, and analysis of energy fractals that record high-energy geologic events.  In the process of deciphering the evolutionary history of the Earth, two related driving mechanisms of tectonics are discovered, one before the Cambrian and one during and after the Cambrian that is still active today.  The new tectonic model aligns greatly to the current tectonic model in many aspects as evidenced by the application of geologic map overlays and being consistent with all major geologic events.

About The Presenter:

William has always felt a deep connection to the Earth that gives him inner peace. He majored in civil engineering and chose to specialize in the branch of geotechnical engineering for his career. A few years after graduating, he knew that he still needed to utilize his interest in geology more and the only way to do that was to go back to school to study it.

In 1995, William began his journey in geology by attending Rutgers University as a full-time geology student. William never regretted his decision to go back to school to study geology, although he felt he was never able to utilize geology as much as he wanted to in his career. William received a B.A. in Environmental Geology in 1997 and a M.S. in Geology in 2007.

William studied the complex geology of a section of Harriman and Bear Mountain State Park in New York for about five years, from 2002 to 2007. When he started mapping the area, he knew close to nothing and was overwhelmed. After countless hours collecting data from several dozen trips to the area and often collecting data way off trails in mountainous terrain, he was able to map a complex fault system in the area. About six years after completing the mapping project, he recognized that the Precambrian refold structure that he mapped resembles the east coast of North America. He did not fully understand the impact that this would have on a future study until about five years later in 2018.

One night in November of 2018, William was carefully looking at satellite imagery on Google Earth. Never one to trust mainstream science agendas or models, he thought that there may be more to what they are telling us, or more than what they claim to know about the Earth.

William combined this thought to what he learned from his study, the importance of the presence of Precambrian refold structures. Could all the crescent-shaped landmasses that I am suddenly seeing on Google Earth be refold structures? Why is North America’s shape so unique? If Africa and South America are both crescent-shaped landmasses that were once attached, isn’t it likely that all the other crescent-shaped landmasses are common structures that were attached in the same manner? Isn’t this the principal of fractals? But wow!, if the crescent-shaped landmasses are all refold structures, how did these very large structures get onto the Earth? Wouldn’t they be part of a larger system of structures, again consistent with the principal of fractals? Does this explain the Great Unconformity? How and why did these once attached structures get broken up into seven individual elements like Africa and South America? Why is there a strange asteroid impact signature and “dial gauge” in the Hudson Bay, drag fold at Lake Superior, and rotational signature in the Great Lakes region?

William was absolutely driven to answer these questions. He found all the answers in likely supernatural features he calls “energy fractals” that are seen on Google Earth.  Yes, it appears that the Earth is alive! The “energy fractals” guided him every step of the way in interpreting the chronology of the Earth. William would like to share his discoveries with anyone who would like to seriously listen and consider another explanation of how the Earth evolved to what it is today.
