Hi Don,

I had an idea that might explain an expanding earth.
Probably been thought of before though.

Radioactive elements in the earths core could fission
and split into 2 elements, thus occupying twice the space.

Over geological time the mass of the earth would remain the
same but the volume it occupied would increase markedly.

FWIW
