Earth hit twice - The hypothesis of planetary rearrangement of the lithosphere by impact and interference waves

Robert Jan Kütz

This study presents the impact-antipodal-interference hypothesis as a new model of planetary-scale crustal deformation. By analysing the distribution and properties of three megastructures - the Mariana Trench, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and the Amazon Basin - it is demonstrated that their formation may be linked to large-scale cosmic impacts and the seismic wave interference occurring within Earth's volume. The methodology included analysis of satellite data (GEBCO, GRACE, GPlates), global-scale seismic wave modelling, and comparisons with analogous phenomena on Mars, Mercury, and the Moon. The results indicate geometric, physical, and geophysical consistency between the Mariana Trench, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and Amazon Basin as consequences of planetary lithospheric rearrangement induced by cosmic impacts. The hypothesis has been formulated in a way that allows empirical falsification and validation. Its confirmation would open new research directions in Earth and planetary sciences, leading to a shift in the current geodynamic paradigm. Recommendations for further studies include deep sediment drilling, advanced seismic wave modelling, and extended geochemical analyses.
