Earthquakes and Tsunamis are triggered by Star-quakes

Something else worth mentioning, and I do not see this info attached to the debate.

In order to say the earthquake occurred before the radiation arrived, we have to be on exactly the same time stamp. A few hours of difference, and even a day difference is not unusual when mixing GMT and various local time stamps.

So who knows......

Oh, and poppycock too!-)

[P.O.E.]

Now let's say that there are N chinese, with average weight m, jumping from height h. Then the total energy is about
Nmgh

Let's use some conservative numbers here:

Let's say that there are 10 billion chinamen
Let's say that they weigh 100 kg each
Let's approximage the acceleration of gravity with 10m/s/s
Then we have
10,000,000,000*100*10=10,000,000,000,000
1*1012 joules of energy.

The earthquake chart at http://www.geop.itu.edu.tr/~onur/seis/energy.html
gives that as equivalent to a magnitude 5.5 earthquake, or about a fifth of a Nagasaki bomb.

And my theory is that lightning is the cause. There is a stroke of lightning somewhere on the earth preceding every earthquake and Tsunami.

My theory is that flatulance causes earthquakes and tsunami.

Can it be disputed that, somewhere on the planet, at least one human being farted at the precise moment of the earthquake on December 26?

HORRORS!!! Confiscate all beans and bean products immediately!!

Ya think? LOL!

Flapdoodle!

Oh yeah? Durned smarty-pants!

I don't have a link because I saw it printed on paper! It was either in "New Scientist" or "Science Weekly" or both. I think the bigger article was in "New Scientist". It really makes sense. How else would the earth stay so warm after 3 Billion years or so?

The article didn't go into the Uranium/Plutonium reactivity fluctuation. I added that from my experience in Naval Nuclear Power. The thing that really limited the life of the long-lifed cores was the build up of Plutonium 239 and the consequential reduction in Beta-bar. This made the plant operate too close to prompt critical, with possibility of large power fluctuations.

Really. That is interesting. I wonder what 2004 was about.

2004 was the Year of the Monkey, known for "water" disasters, e.g. hurricanes and tsunamis.

Chinese astrologers predicted that during the Year of Monkey, Bush would remain in office and that his challenger would be a "weak" man.

The only way I could see any influence at all is through the influence of EM radiation passing over the iron in the earth's core in just the right way. Potential effects are:

Influence on movement or liquid or spin of earth
Generation of electrical and magnetic fields that interfere with existing fields
Massive accumulation of tinfoil in isolated locations

The first could possibly, just possibly, cause enough of a shift in spin or motion of the mantle to influence tectonic action, but I believe even that notion is a hugh stretch. I just enjoy exploring the possible mechanisms to explain otherwise unrelated phenomena.
