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.

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe. Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind, Possessing and caressing me. Jai guru deva. Om. Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world. Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world. Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes, They call me on and on across the universe. Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box, They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe Jai guru deva. Om. Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world. Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world. Sounds of laughter, shades of love are ringing through my opened ears Inciting and inviting me. Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns, And calls me on and on across the universe Jai guru deva. Om. Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world. Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world. Jai guru deva. Jai guru deva. Jai guru deva. Jai guru deva. Jai guru deva. Jai guru deva. |
Excuse me?!?! It's the Joooooooooooos! It's ALWAYS the JooooooooooooooS!!!
This link may be of some help. :-)

Sorry for not taking more time this morning, but I will be terribly busy today. Sigh!
Thanks for the ping. :-)
Aw Man! I can't believe I read that entire paper and believed it! Crap! I am now officially pissed off!
Thank you RadioAstronomer for pointing out the crank.
Your links are most enlightening.
Well.............How then can gravity escape a black hole when the escape velocity must be faster than the speed of light?
How then do we not use a Doppler like shift in equations where we calculate light and movement with a shift for time, yet we calculate gravity as instantaneous?
I think there are two possible answers.
1. We don't know squat about gravity.
2. We don't know squat about gravity.
And in case people still don't get it, there's always hogwash, flimflam, fiddlesticks, and malarkey :)
I know, being a electrician and working with magnetic fields that they are certainly not instantaneous. In fact we can see the field collapse and expand and see it propagate.
I don't think we have this visibility into gravity however.
It could be our math. Not being well versed in mathematics, I cannot say for sure, but we seem lacking in gravitational math that transcends and fits well with other math disciplines.
I really don't know what gravity is, exactly. And I don't think we can explain it with "dark matter", "Aether, or whatever, which breeds these off the wall theories.
I do believe that when we do....it will mean a huge change in possibilities for interstellar travel. At present we are only playing with the effects of gravity and seem to have a good handle on that.
But we are like infants play in the tub with our rubber ducky's at present.IMHO.:-)
Computer models are showing an interesting relationship between the COLOR of SUVS and GLOBAL WARMING.
Computer models are showing an interesting relationship between the number of stars in the sky and the number of brain cells.
Here is the explanation of the use of the star quake reference.
A magnetar is a superdense neutron star with a magnetic field thousands of trillions of times more intense than that of the Earth. Scientists believe that SGR 1806-20's giant burst of energy was somehow triggered by a "starquake" in the neutron star's crust that caused a catastrophic disruption in the magnetar's magnetic field. The magnetic disruption generated the huge burst of gamma rays and "boiled off" particles from the star's surface into a rapidly-expanding fireball that continues to emit radio waves for weeks or months.
Your fate is written in the stars.
Other than that, yeah, they exactly correlate.
I love the Hindu mind at work. The question is, are there quakes and tsunamis every time there's a burst of energy in the cosmos? Seems to me this planet would be rocking and rolling full time if so.
That is all I was responding to. We don't usually refer to solar flares and disruptions a solar quakes, nor should we. But because this theoretically involved some sort of crust, it was called a quake, which is really planetary tectonic plate movement due to gradual cooling.
I just thought the reference inaccurate and misleading.
Thanks!
As was the entire article. The Asian Earthquake happened before he Starquake's energy burst arrived.
correction: "before THE ...."
Not saying the article is correct, but the radiation emitted is what was reported on that day, that is the what we could measure.
The event would have occurred 50,000 years ago.
One could theorize that something not measured by our sats could have come before the radiation. Kinda like the pressure wave before the light of the explosion and not after,as is the case with the speed of sound in air.
The closeness of the two events is all that is needed for speculation.
Which was the question raised by the article. And speculation is all it is. But interesting, none the less.
Earthquakes simplified: Build a fire with twigs on bottom and bigger heavier logs on top. Sit back and watch the fire burn for awhile. As the twigs and limbs burn up the upper logs will shift and move. Gee, that is too simple so I guess I will believe that some star somewhere in space is going to cause an earthquake and forget that the inner earth is on fire. Duuuuhhhhhh.
