Something very cool---what the Japanese earthquake "sounded" like

Click on this link to "hear" last year's Japanese earthquake, the story tells how the scientists who did this were able come up with this:

Thanks, Volt. I am always fascinated by things like this, I love watching the shows that have actual footage of some of the worst disasters and listen to why things happened the way they did, why some buildings collapsed and others stood strong.

I always liked stuff like this--when I was a kid---one of my grandmothers gave me a subscription to National Geographic magazine--still got many of them from the late 60s through the 80s packed in boxes in the attic.

That quake was something else----the seismologists are also saying that due to that quake, it changed the tilt of the earth ever so slightly and sort of made the earth wobble in its motions for a few days following the series of quakes that took place in that period.

I know that posting up things of this sort have nothing at all to do with sex---but I figured at least a few people might find it to be interesting.

metafilter & msnbc must be coming from the same source. *chuckles* this was on metafilter as well, linking to two youtube videos.

Had a tornado chase me home one sultry spring nite from a town 30 miles away where I worked. When I arrived safely, I noticed the ground shaking in my neighborhood & a very deep rumbling
I stood in the middle of the street in front of my house & a neighbor emerged & joined me& asked "What IS that?" I had always heard a tornado sounds like a train passing nearby; it sounded & felt like SEVERAL trains passing by! By the way, man does not live by sex alone.

The Chilean earthquake of 2010 did the same thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Chile_earthquake

"Geophysical impact

Seismologists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismologists) estimate that the earthquake was so powerful that it may have shortened the length of the day by 1.26 microseconds and moved the Earth's figure axis by 8 cm or 2.7 milliarcseconds "

I enjoy your postings volty, because, as you know, I'm not here to talk ONLY about sex either :)

I am glad that some of you don't mind that I put up posts on topics other than sex---I figure that enough of those sort of posts are put by others---and I surely do post up replies on them if I am so inclined. I just think that we all have interests that go beyond sexual matters--I at least do hope that most of you do.

Yep Voltie. Its what Native Americans used to call "Ground Thunder" And yes Dearheart, I too appreciate that not all of us post about sexual topics. I love hearing about life topics too..:}
Hugs and nuzzles.
