Third video is an obvious fake lol.

Didn't Taiwan just experience a 6.4 magnitude earthquake?

 

Doesn't it seem that we're having more earthquakes than normal, or am I just paranoid? It seems that we have major earthquakes within a year of each other, and in the 20th century, we had major earthquakes about 10-30 years apart from each other... Could some climate change be causing this?

i think it's ridiculous. how can you even measure such a miniscule amount as 3 inches when the scale of the earth to the cosmos is [bleep]in huge? it's probably hosh posh, and whatever will i do without 1.3 milliseconds?!

 

On the first video the guy said it wasn't measured with scales or anything like that, but with some very complicated equations, etc.

This makes me wonder if a more powerful earthquake could have bigger impacts.

 

I was thinking jump-starting a magnetic pole reversal. It's supposed to happen fairly soon (in Earth time).

Oh noes!!! :o

 

About the topic itself, this is actually rather interesting. You might think 1.4 microseconds of change is way too insignificant, but if we take it to the long term, it actually is significant. Think big, guys! :P

It's obviously not Climate Change, it's the 2012 apocalypse.

I had to turn my clock forward 1.26 milliseconds.

Practicality is: Bleh

 

 

 

But it's still pretty interesting. o.O

 

Earth-shattering news people.

 

well played.

It's obviously not Climate Change, it's the 2012 apocalypse.

2012 is obviously a belief, and it's only 2010 now.

 

Try harder.

What if I am doing something important at the time? :( Oh no. Haha. Oh well. It happens, and we can't do anything about it.

While it's not earth-shattering (excuse the pun) news, it's interesting none the less.

I so beat you to that.

 

What am I going to do? I can't live without those 1.26 microseconds or whatever it was!

 

Earth-shattering news people.

You're off by days.

It's all relative anyway.... Just travel at 476.23km/h for a bit relative to the Earth and your time will dilate enough to correct that. :wink:

 

Yes, I'm procrastinating.

I'm sorry, forgot the [/sarcasm] tags.

being sacastic over something thats 2 and a half years from now? nice job.

I'm not the only one who noticed.

 

Success.

a fraction of a second seems really insignificant, but thinking that an earthquake shifted the axis at all is amazing. Who knows? Maybe this will correct global warming. I always knew Earth could fix itself. :D

Okay how does making the earth tilt one way correct global warming...?

Anything can solve Global Warming. Didn't you get the memo?

 

I'll send you one. Though don't throw it away, we still need to test the Paper Airplane theory.

Some conspiracy theorists think that something massive will happen in 2012, with smaller events building up to it.

Depends on how you define major. Wikipedia lists 55 earthquakes in Taiwan of >6.0 magnitude between 1900 and 2006. And earthquake documentation is improving - 100 years ago, a 6.4 in the middle of Taiwan might not have been noted down. It was part of the mysterious Japanese empire, 12 people were injured, and there was no obvious fault line (I don't think). But today, I'm sure there's some computer or something that documented it. A seismograph. I don't know.

And 1.3 ms or whatever is huge, guys. It takes me like 60 ms to load a website. At least I think that ms is referring to microseconds.

Not really, earthquakes are caused by plate tectonics which are driven by internal convection currents in the mantle. Besides, assuming large-ish earthquakes are random events in the sense that their precise periodicity isn't particularly well known, then a sudden clump of earthquakes could just be a coincidence. That's how random processes work, people expect a uniform distribution of events over time/space to be random when in reality they might just as easily clump together.

It's 1.3 micro (µ), not milli (m) seconds. Press 'alt gr' + 'm' to type µ.

Ah, thanks. I feel like I should've known that. <_<

Still a huge difference. :)

I can't believe people care about this. -.-
