Computer models are showing an interesting relationship between star-quakes and earthquakes. Supernova, star-quakes and similar burst of energy in the Universe triggers earthquakes and tsunamis.
According to researchers, most of the large earthquakes and Tsunamis happened when there was a burst of energy somewhere in the cosmos.
According to BBC, Astronomers say they have been stunned by the amount of energy released in a star explosion on the far side of our galaxy, 50,000 light-years away.
The flash of radiation on 27 December was so powerful that it bounced off the Moon and lit up the Earth's atmosphere.
The blast occurred on the surface of an exotic kind of star - a super-magnetic neutron star called SGR 1806-20.
One calculation has the giant flare on SGR 1806-20 unleashing about 10,000 trillion trillion watts.
Now computer models are showing that the burst of energy reached the earth slightly before the major earthquake happened which triggered the Tsunami.
Looking at the past, the computer models are finding a clear correlation between earthquakes, major volcanoes, and landslides, Tsunamis with major burst of energies reaching the earth due to earthquakes.
The models are also showing that the galactic cosmos level energy busts dictate intra-planetary tectonic movements.
It seems that the Universe is connected through these cosmos level energy bursts. If this theory is proven true then it can conjecture that major tectonic movements are caused by major events in the Universe. In other words, different parts the Universe is virtually interconnected.
No but I thought about saying Bill O'Reilly. I like someone's Helen Thomas suggestion even better! Carry on..
And holding in your farts causes spontaneous human combustion, at least according to South Park.
Yeah, but "correlation does not necessarily mean causation".
See Stock Market Theories, etc...
What is the historical period of time that *we* can detect said energy and magnitude?
I would like to see predictions based on cosmic event detections.
Word has it that they are looking for volunteers.
There is always something to learn, something that may connect to something else.
I think that it is one of the challenges of life.
And this forum.....:-)
Oh and thanks for your input. Excellent!
That would make things pretty neat and tidy wouldn't it.
Well, we just found out that a explosion occurred 50,000 years ago.
The cosmic data base we have unfortunately has no record from those days.:-)
This is the problem with our knowledge base. it has some gaps.
He's also ten of the most boring people you know of.
What input?
Definitely this forum always provides something for one to read about and discuss. :)
Well, at least now I know it isn't my fault.
Oh.
(snicker)
I calls 'em as I sees 'em. So how are you? Felt any earthquakes lately?
Big year for earthquakes.
Okay here. No, no earthquakes in my neighborhood. No rain, no storms, just the normal concrete jungle stuff - sirens, choppers overhead, just everyday stuff. How're you doing?
Really. That is interesting. I wonder what 2004 was about.
Yes they is.
According to researchers, most of the large earthquakes and Tsunamis happened when there was a burst of energy somewhere in the cosmos.
Okay, now tell me how anyone saw this in the cosmos during past (Not the December one) tsunamis. Are they trying to say that they have telescopes that look into the past? If so, tell me what I had for dinner 20 years and 10 days ago.
