But now you are making a large assumption here by claiming that this process has been going on for the entire life of the Earth.
Also, according to EE Theory, expansion has only been occurring for the last 200my, at least evidenced by ocean crustal age. This amounts to (at claimed rate)
Assumed mass gain from TS numbers -26,280,000,000,000,000,000
Mass of Earth (present, tons) -6,580,000,000,000,000,000,000
This is less than 1% gain in mass @ 2 tons every 8 minutes for 200my.
The Sun ejects 6.7 billion tons of mass every hour (
Wiki). If, lets say, even .0001% of this mass encounters Earth, that is 670,000 tons of charged particles impacting Earths magnetosphere every hour.
Now, big assumption, but IF there is some kind of new physics allowing even some of those charged particles to accrete at Earth's core, there would be your hypothetical mechanism.
Who knows, maybe the LHC will reveal something supportive. About as likely as finding dark matter.
