New discoveries are always challenging accepted science. It's the scientists who cling to past and present theories in the face of emerging skepticism who fail the test of true science.
I watched a documentary on earthquakes last night (one I hadn’t seen before).
One guy had the opinion that if we didn’t have earth quake the earth would not be habitable.
IOW quakes are a good thing for nature to keep re-establishing.
They did allot of interviews and should tours of the homes that were destroyed in the 89 N. Cali quake (where I was in the process of leaving for a more rural life in the PNW)
