Yesterday afternoon, a 4.4 magnitude earthquake occurred just 9 miles southeast of the south entrance to Yellowstone National Park. According to the USGS, “It is unlikely that there is a connection or triggering mechanism of the earthquake with the increased hydrothermal activity at Norris Geyser Basin, which is about 35 miles from the epicenter or with hydrothermal features in Yellowstone Lake that have received recent publicity.” However, given the shallow depth of this quake, the volcanism model developed by Larry Park has suddenly lurched us a huge step towards a worst-case eruption event.
Simply put, anyone living within 600 miles of Yellowstone could be sitting in a modern day Pompeii. In addition, for those living outside this area and West of the Mississippi river, there could be grievous consequences as well because systemic processes are now building beneath Yellowstone, that paint a very clear picture of a major eruption event in its early stages
In this article, Larry Park will present the science behind his warning. However, as the publisher of YOWUSA.COM, I wish to put some context to all this in layman’s terms as now as I personally feel the time has come for everyone living west of the Mississippi to become aware and to begin making a calm and deliberate assessment of the facts. This especially applies to those presently living within 600 miles of Yellowstone. However, what does the USGS say?

It's true the solar system/universe obeys mechanical laws, but does this mean that it therefore follows that it is all just mechanical? Our bodies follow mechanical laws but I suggest that our existence is much more than just a mechanical/chemical/scientificly explained existence.
In fact I would go so far as to say that we don't know squat. Everything we claim to know is theory, and all our theories will be someday replaced by even better theories, by those who think they know.
Of course not. There's also the influence of Mars on Earthoid art and literature.

If I follow your reasoning correctly, you're suggesting that Mars is alive, and doesn't much like us.
Perhaps we should sacrifice a chicken.
In fact I would go so far as to say that we don't know squat. Everything we claim to know is theory, and all our theories will be someday replaced by even better theories, by those who think they know.
But how do you know that? Isn't this just your own theory of knowledge, which is therefore meaningless by your own argument?
How can you claim we know nothing, and also speak as though your own opinion is uncontestable fact?
So maybe your "we don't know squat" epistemology doesn't apply to everybody.
Worse, what if it's just you?
Check out the Badlands all over the west between Yellowstone and perhapd Missouri. The ash is palinly visible in South Dakota.
(how am I doing Blam? have I achieved desciplehood?)
He talks about scalar this and that. How about scaler Martian gravity resonance waves?
I'll answer. First it is just me. My own opinion is uncontestable fact, and I can absolutely prove that I actually don't know a damn thing at all. He who knows nothing knows all there is to know.
Seriously, though, one does wonder what, if anything at all, causes the rise of magma, or hotter regions of magma to directly under thin regions of the crust, where the resultant effect is volcanic activity. Is it due to electromagnetism? Convection currents? Flux of solar radiation? ALL of the above?
Yes, one does wonder. But one seems to make little effort to find out.
When I enter your phrase "rise of magma" on Google, I get 282 hits, including this.
It's astonishing what you can learn if you actually go look around.
When ucansee2 referred to your patronization, he was telling you in a nice way that you come across as a know-it-all. You appear to believe that facts are knowledge, and that the one with the most facts is the smartest, the most knowing. So in you come with a bunch of facts, and in a cutesy way let everyone know that you think you are very intelligent.
If I follow your reasoning correctly, you're suggesting that Mars is alive, and doesn't much like us.
Wrong answer, but thanks for playing.
Perhaps we should sacrifice a chicken.
In one quick step you go from superior to smart-ass. No bonus points here, either.
In fact I would go so far as to say that we don't know squat. Everything we claim to know is theory, and all our theories will be someday replaced by even better theories, by those who think they know.
But how do you know that? Isn't this just your own theory of knowledge, which is therefore meaningless by your own argument?
Yes, that is exactly what I am suggesting. It doesn't take much imagination to realize that any one thing we now hold to be true, we may someday learn isn't so. Our recorded history is a long record of learning that what men believe changes with new information and insight.
So maybe your "we don't know squat" epistemology doesn't apply to everybody.
Obviously, it does not apply to you. You are someone who knows a lot.
Worse, what if it's just you?
Why would that be worse? If I am the only one who doesn't know squat, I would think that would be a very good thing.
You appear to believe that it is important to be right. You're not. I'm not.
You sound like someone who has stopped learning. Like you think you've figured it all out. You already know what's real. Oh, there are more facts for you to collect, and when you get them you'll think you're even smarter and better than your already elevated state.
There is a whole world of knowledge you have apparently not stumbled upon yet. What you will learn, if you do, is that everything you know is wrong.
I am not demanding you spend all your time educating me, but I find FR a very good place to acquire knowledge.
How about if every time you asked a question on FR, everyone told you to go find the answer yourself, using the search facility? Might tend to make you think it was an unfriendly place, occupied by self-absorbed intellectuals without social skills or common courtesy?
I appreciate the links and will spend time researching this more, as I love to learn.
But, I also like to discuss. I hope you don't mind too much. You have been so helpful, and quite polite, and I do appreciate it.
Yes, it has been fun reading your posts.
I know someone who has invented a product, or rather improved a product so much it is almost a different product. He said he could have never done it if he wasn't an "outsider". Very large companies have been trying to accomplish what he has for about 20 years. He just looked at it from a new angle.
Nice to have made your acquaintance.
