There are a number of observations and phenomena that cast considerable doubt on the present model of the Earth. These topics include the following: 
<font color="#000099">1.	The dynamo theory's failure to fully explain the geomagnetic field, and its changes. 
2.	Earthquake waves indicate a different internal structure than hypothesized (especially the Gutenberg discontinuity, and the different east-west and north-south earthquake-wave velocities). 
3.	Aurora, particularly the Theta-arc configuration and the polar wind, display features that are not what could be expected from the magnetic lines of force generated by the geomagnetic field, nor is the source of the ions coming up from the pole into space accounted for (the polar wind). 
4.	Noble gas anomalies are different than what would be found if the Earth formed as envisioned. 
5.	The findings uncovered by deep drilling, such as gravity, heat and other changes occurring with depth are not expected of the present model of the Earth. 
6.	Polar jerks, wandering and reversals are not compatible with what could be expected from the dynamo (i.e., reversals occur too rapidly, the geomagnetic field has a memory, etc.). 
7.	Physical features that retain their locations relative to the Earth's pole position even during polar wander and reversal are unaccounted for. 
8.	Earthquakes show that moderate to strong earthquakes are strongly coupled on a global scale. 
9.	Gravitational changes and reduced geomagnetic intensity occur during eclipses. 
10.	The overlapping nature of geophysical anomalies along mid-latitudes, just above the equatorial bulge, and at evenly spaced longitudes around the globe, and at the poles indicate a different and more dynamic planet. 
11.	Solar activity is correlated to a myriad of geophysical phenomena, such as changes in the length of day (i.e., the Earth's rotation), weather (QBO, El Nino, etc.), earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and so forth, for which the minor fluctuations in solar output cannot be responsible. See also the web page The Unity of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. 
12.	There is a lunar influence on a myriad of geophysical phenomena, such as changes in the length of day (i.e., the Earth's rotation), weather, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and so forth, that cannot be explained by the gravitational effects of the Moon. See also the web pages The Unity of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, and Natural Phenomena That Occur in Cycles. 
13.	The role of certain aspects of gravity, and the role of the mechanical forces (the Einstein Equivalence Principle) in the Earth's formation have not been taken into account. 
14.	The role of life in the generation and maintenance of the Earth's electric and magnetic environment, as well as the recognized role of life in biogeochemical cycles are rarely taken into consideration. 
15.	The solar neutrino problem can be explained with a different Earth model with a internal energy source. 
16.	The life-like characteristics of the Earth indicate that it is a living entity. 
17.	The polar (Chandler) wobble should dissipate if the interior is as theorized, but it is instead consistently reinstated. 
18.	There is a tremendous expenditure of energy through various geologic processes, such as earthquakes, geothermal energy, volcanics, El Nino, and so forth, for which there is no energy source with the present model of the Earth. </font>
Some of these topics will be addressed below, though not in their entirety, while others and the full scope can be found in The Vital Vastness.
