“In 1953, Charles Hapgood had developed his theory of crustal displacement. He argued that the Earth had undergone multiple displacements of land as a result of the movement of a liquid core one hundred miles underneath the surface. Rather than the slow process of continental drift, which split lands apart, crustal displacement could move large bodies of land together and quickly. In line with his theory, he argued that Atlantis had never truly disappeared but just moved south, where it was renamed Antarctica. Hapgood’s theory would explain one extraordinary fact about the continent of Antarctica: evidence indicated that at one point in its history, it had a much warmer climate, free from ice. Hapgood’s theory was scorned by a number of prominent scientists, but Dr. Hapgood had garnered at least one well-known supporter: Albert Einstein.”
