Well, I'm familiar with the Expanding Earth theory... which is fact. There's many things going on here. We are at the end of a Galactic cycle and
that means something. If I told you this planet is about to elevate to a higher dimension and become a star in the process, you probably wouldn't
believe me
Wow, you are familiar with the Expanding Earth theory, or are you familiar with Expanding Earth Fact? Because you're the only one brave enough to
come out and call a THEORY fact with absolutely nothing to back it up as a fact, it's a theory that needs investigation.
galactic cycle? How about you define that? Is this cycle related to the rotation of our galaxy due to the supermassive black hole at the center? Is
it related somehow to the age of the galaxy?
How, exactly, is the planet going to elevate to a higher dimension? do you understand what dimensions are? We live in a 3 dimensional world as
objects have height, length, and depth. Arguably it's 4 dimensions as time could also be looked at as a dimension. M theory dictates that there are
extra dimensions all over, but these aren't alternate realities. I think you might have dimension and universe mixed up, don't worry it happens a lot
when talking about made up galactic cycles and dimensional elevation.
And now to your last point. Do you even know what a star is my friend? honestly? A star is essentially a ball of plasma that ignited and started a
fusion reaction which is self sustaining for millions of years until the star burns off more of it's fuel and creates an unbalance which causes the
star to nova (different depending on the type of star)
A planet, in no way shape or form, could become a star. It's impossible. Sure we could torch the planet, but it's not a star, it's a mass of rock
with molten iron at the core, it simply can't fuel the nuclear process of a star.
A star is a massive, luminous ball of plasma held together by gravity.......
A star begins as a collapsing cloud of material composed primarily of hydrogen, along with helium and trace amounts of heavier elements. Once the
stellar core is sufficiently dense, some of the hydrogen is steadily converted into helium through the process of nuclear fusion.[1] The remainder of
the star's interior carries energy away from the core through a combination of radiative and convective processes. The star's internal pressure
prevents it from collapsing further under its own gravity. Once the hydrogen fuel at the core is exhausted, those stars having at least 0.4 times the
mass of the Sun[2] expand to become a red giant, in some cases fusing heavier elements at the core or in shells around the core. The star then evolves
into a degenerate form, recycling a portion of the matter into the interstellar environment, where it will form a new generation of stars with a
higher proportion of heavy elements.[3]
What is a star?
Earth's outer surface is divided into several rigid segments, or tectonic plates, that migrate across the surface over periods of many millions of
years. About 71% of the surface is covered with salt water oceans, the remainder consisting of continents and islands which together have many lakes
and other sources of water contributing to the hydrosphere. Liquid water, necessary for all known life, is not known to exist in equilibrium on any
other planet's surface.[note 7] Earth's poles are mostly covered with solid ice (Antarctic ice sheet) or sea ice (Arctic ice cap). The planet's
interior remains active, with a thick layer of relatively solid mantle, a liquid outer core that generates a magnetic field, and a solid iron inner
core.
Earth
As you can see if you took the time to read, the Earth simply does not contain the correct fuel to convert it to a star. Not even Jupiter, a gas
giant, can do it. Sorry. You'll have to notify the galactic federation for me, they blocked my from their spacemail server
