It seems like the theory wasn't really taken seriously. This article suggests that it was thought of as a joke. Looking for "continental drift" in Google Scholar doesn't bring up much; there are some articles but I think they're supposed to refer to continental drift ( OCR errors perhaps). ... discospinster talk 22:12, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Whether it is just a coincidence or not doesn't change the fact that the phenomenon exists on the contemporary globe though. Nicole Sharp ( talk) 23:47, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
The acclaimed and much cited paper "Fake Tectonics and Continental Drip" by John C. Holden was published in the Journal of Irreproducible Results, v. 22, no. 2 (July) 1976. Yes, the so-called theory is a scientific joke. Scientists do have a sense of humor, especially geologists.
