Found

  1. The Scalera and Braun chapter already in the project folder ("Ott Christoph Hilgenberg in twentieth-century geophysics"), with PDF "Hilgenberg (2).pdf", 397 KB. Same document as the folder copy; nothing new.
  2. Journal entity "Why expanding Earth? - A book in honour of Ott Christoph Hilgenberg" - the record holds no file list; the other chapters (including Hilgenberg's unpublished manuscript in English translation, book pp.178-) were not found as separate items in the first 10 results.

  3. G. Scalera (2021), "La Gravitazione Idrodinamica Come Causa Della Espansione Terrestre", extended abstract, GNGTS 2021 (OGS Trieste), status "Submitted", Italian, PDF "SCALERA Conferenza Geoscienze 2021 formatted.pdf", 1.44 MB. Handle: https://www.earth-prints.org/handle/2122/14738 ; record [web] https://www.earth-prints.org/entities/publication/405ee813-739d-4bca-8a1b-8c7b1baedfc5 - Abstract (Italian, my translation): from the Earth sciences and the evidence of planetary expansion (Egyed 1961; Hilgenberg 1967, 1974; Carey 1976; Owen 1976; Maxlow 2002; Cwojdzinski 2003; Scalera 1990-2020), "corroborated today" by geoneutrino experiments (Borexino 2017; KamLAND/Shimizu 2017; Scalera 2020), comes the awareness that the cause of expansion is a flow of constitutive matter, or ether, converging on the planet's centre and turning into ordinary matter on the way from surface to geocentre. The paper adopts this "central torrent" ("torrente centrale") concept, traced to Johann Bernoulli, and attempts "a first step towards knowing the parameters that characterise the ether: density, velocity, flow rates". [web] - References include Hilgenberg 1967 "Why Earth expansion?" (talk at TU Berlin, 7 Feb 1967, 16 pp.), Hilgenberg 1974, Heaviside 1893 (gravitational-electromagnetic analogy, via Jefimenko), Selleri 1993 (preferred frame), Bell 1976, Buffoni 2013/2015 (fluid space), Scalera 2017 "Can the history of the ether receive new boost from geosciences?" (SISFA 2017). [web] - Bearing: priority 3 (related, later work by an interested party: Scalera is the honour-volume editor and an expansion proponent). It is the only item found so far that tries to put numbers (ether density, velocity, flux) on Hilgenberg's sink-flow picture, which the folder's document lacks. The geoneutrino "corroboration" is Scalera's characterization.
