Simple diagram showing the relative position of the Earth to the Sun at its maximum periods of stress. A stress that on the 26th of December 2004 was further increased by a Full Moon that was also at apogee - it’s furthest point from the Earth. LINK
Simple argument.
In simple terms the above situation can be illustrated quite graphically. It is like a heavily laden lorry attempting to turn a tight bend while travelling at speed - in the Earth’s case around 50,000 miles of speed. The lorry struggles to stay on the road with brakes screeching, until momentum restored it continues peacefully along its way. We believe the Earth does exactly the same, with the Winter and Summer Solstices forming decisive periods when through the stresses of its orbital procession the Earth is more vulnerable to catastrophic disasters. Indeed it was almost at the exact point last year that a fearful Earthquake in Iran wiped out the historically important city of Bam and with it around 50,000 lives. This was again a disaster just a few days after the Winter Solstice and almost exactly on the Full Moon.
Of course not every Winter Solstice ends in a disaster of the sort witnessed in Iran and the South East Asian catastrophe. So what then makes the vital difference?
The Earth/Moon system.
As it turns out the South East Asian catastrophe happened on the 26th December - exactly the day of the Full Moon, and this is fundamental to our theory. Many more disasters happen around the Full Moon, and this was not just any Full Moon. It coincided with the Moon at apogee, which is when the Moon is at its furthest reach from the Earth. It is vital to understand this because at this time the Earth undergoes special strains to hold on to the Moon and restrain it from breaking free into space. This is similar to the way the Sun holds on to the Earth preventing it from wandering off towards the stars.
Two separate forces.
We see then that on December 26th 2004 the Earth was subject to intense forces from two separate directions. One from the Sun holding it on its yearly orbit, the other from the Moon at its furthest reach at a phase when its earthquake potential is at its highest. We must also remember that the centre of balance in the Earth/ Moon system is not some invisible point in space but a point deep beneath the surface of this planet. At certain Lunar cycles this is bound to create enormous stresses and we believe that the combination of the Full Moon, the Moon at apogee, and the Winter Solstice caused stresses that eventually gave way to one of the biggest Earthquakes ever recorded and consequently the largest humanitarian disaster of modern times. It has to be said that the combination of all these events occurring at the same time is extremely rare as is the nature of the catastrophe unleashed.
An example of how great the forces behind this disaster really were is explained by a prominent group of British geologists. They calculated that the forces involved in the original earthquake that spawned the deadly Tsunami’s measured 9 on the Richter scale. As a matter of comparison this equates to the total power of all the earthquakes to have taken place everywhere in the world for the last five years going off in just one place at the same time - a truly staggering explosion of power.
