Can Geosciences relaunch the concept of ether?

This paper is written in honor of my mentor Franco Selleri who has helped to consolidate my awareness of the existence of a medium su-btended to ordinary matter, and from which everything comes. From my field, the Earth Sciences, come clues converging on an important role of the ether in the geological evolution of Earth and planets, as well as all the structures of the universe. Paleogeographic reconstructions allow a rough quantitative evaluation of the amount of new ordinary matter that is added to the planet in the unity of time, and the consequent statement of some co-smological consequences and on the inner energy balance of the Earth. The concept of central flow of ether defended here is different from the Loren-tian stationary ether, but the two concepts could be made compatible.
