That explained where all the sediment1 went. It was being returned to the bowels2 of the Earth. It also explained why ocean floors everywhere were so comparatively youthful. None had ever been found to be older than about 175 million years, which was a puzzle because continental3 rocks were often billions of years old. Now Hess could see why.

Hess elaborated his ideas in an important paper, which was almost universally ignored. Sometimes the world just isn't ready for a good idea.
