It is always refreshing to encounter new ideas that challenge orthodoxy, and the hypothesis recently advanced by Lowman (1986) is no exception. This is especially so since the hypothesis is readily testable: by future VLBI, satellite laser ranging and seismic observations according to Lowman, although we consider that the necessary data are extant, in the form of Mesozoic and Tertiary (if not Palaeozoic) palaeomagnetic measurements.
