Proto-Planetary Crustal Transfer (PPCT)
Independent Research Supplement
This website hosts supplementary research materials associated with the book
And God Said, “Let the Dry Land Appear” by Frank Eckard.
The materials provided here are intended to support transparency, reproducibility, and further exploration of the concepts discussed in the book. They are not required to understand the main text, but are offered for readers who wish to examine the underlying geometry, data, and modelling in greater detail.
Purpose of This Site
The Proto-Planetary Crustal Transfer (PPCT) hypothesis explores whether Earth’s continental crust could have originated through a physically constrained process involving planetary-scale interaction early in Solar System history.
This site exists to provide supporting resources—figures, datasets, and computational artefacts—that cannot be fully presented within a printed volume.
The research presented is hypothesis-driven, explicitly states assumptions, and is open to critical evaluation.
Available Supplementary Materials
Resources hosted on this site may include:
- High-resolution colour figures and geometric reconstructions
- Google Earth (KMZ) files of Earth’s continents and reconstructed proto-planetary plates
- Computational models and scripts used for geometric and dynamical analysis
- Supplementary tables and extended visualisations
- Errata or clarifications related to the published text
All materials are provided for educational and research purposes.

The book provides:
- conceptual explanation,
- physical reasoning,
- and interpretive discussion.
This site provides:
- data,
