Charles Hapgood

Charles Hapgood was an American historian and geologist known for his controversial theory about Earth's crust. He proposed that the Earth's outer shell, or crust, can shift more dramatically than scientists traditionally believe, causing sudden and significant changes in climate, geography, and location of continents. Hapgood suggested these shifts could occur rapidly, perhaps centuries or millennia, rather than over millions of years. His ideas, connecting to theories like "earth crust displacement," are not widely accepted by the scientific community, but they continue to intrigue those interested in alternative explanations for Earth's geological history.
