NASA reports that the Chilean
earthquake has altered the axis of the earth. Perhaps there is indeed more to this than the naysayers care to admit. The days ahead will tell the story.
For someone who is a [retired] lawyer that requires proof, you're not really using your intelligence here. Yes, the axis was altered by the Chilean
earthquake, a WHOLE 3 INCHES!!! This is no way near close enough to cause all the
doom and gloom the
2012 conspiracy theorists are predicting. In fact, all it did was shorten the day by 1.26 microseconds (millionths of a second). Not very earth shattering to me (although I'm sure the Chileans would disagree)!
The earth has a long history of its axis being altered, however, it take millions of years for it to move enough to cause major earth changes. Could it be suddenly altered by an impact event? Absolutely! And more than likely it has! On multiple occassions! But we're talking
earthquakes here. Surely you would never present such flimsy
evidence in a court of law, would you?
In your introduction I asked why do you believe there could be something more to all this
2012 nonsense than us naysayers are willing to admit to and you never answered. So I'll ask again. On what do you base your belief? You concluded your introduction by claiming as a retired lawyer you need
evidence. So where is the
evidence for your belief? Would it hold up in a court of law?
BTW, where is your
evidence earthquakes are increasing?
Earthquakes happen all the time, it's just that the majority of them are too small to be felt (but they are measured). So the frequency of
earthquakes are not increasing, nor is their severity. While an 8.8 magnitude quake is devastating, it is nothing more than built up pressure from two tectonic plates sliding over each other. And sometimes these plates slip with catastrophic results. The magnitude of the slippage depends on how much pressure has built up over the years. Take California for example, they experience
earthquakes all the time. But these smaller
earthquakes are not enough to release all the pressure that has built up between the North American and Pacific tectonic plates. So a major slippage is in California's future, and by some estimates, is long over due. Does this mean such a slippage supports the
2012 theorists? No! It is nothing than plate tectonics in action! But you're free to believe otherwise. However, I will require that you support your beliefs with hard core empirical
evidence.
