It seems that a huge rise in atmospheric temperatures would do the trick, causing continents to grind to a halt, mountains to stop growing and earthquakes to cease. On Earth, the motion of magma in the mantle pushes continental plates around on the surface, but if the magma became too hot and runny it would lose the grip needed to do this.]]></description><comments>3</comments><score>343</score><crdate>4/20/2008 10:19:02 PM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-04-20T22:19:02+01:00</atomdate></link><link><id>70551</id><url>http://www.plime.com/science/l/70551/1/</url><title><![CDATA[Surfing faster than the speed of light]]></title><description><![CDATA[Future generations could be travelling across the universe faster than the speed of light, without breaking any astronomical road rules, by manipulating extra dimensions of space and time, according to two US physicists.]]></description><comments>10</comments><score>348</score><crdate>7/29/2008 11:21:51 PM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-07-29T23:21:51+01:00</atomdate></link><link><id>12801</id><url>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/12801/1/</url><title><![CDATA[Secret Places of the Earth]]></title><description><![CDATA[Google Earth has some amazing and interesting images to be found.
