This is just wrong though. The theory of continental drift was proposed hundreds of years ago. We just didn’t know how it happened. Plate tectonics is just the mechanism that explains it.

The barriers to mobility are the giant, dangerous roads and parking lots between everything that car dependency requires. Cycleable/walkable places with good public transit are easier to get around for everyone with or without a car, regardless of disabilities.
