If you see lightning coming towards you, give it a wave from me. :)

what about the beaming technology? or was that just for shifting tectonic plates?

 

[edit] ah bugger, this was meant for PB

You mean this:


Nothing to do with weather.

A quick search suggests that laser beams are used to measure the velocity of tectonic places - I didn't find anything to suggests that anyone is warming/cooling magma to try and change their movements.

If it was as widespread as "China, Japan, USA. Russia. also Oz, South Africa maybe, NATO, probably France, maybe Canada" doing it, then I would expect to find at least some hint of something.

*shrug*

tbh, it all blends into one, so many odd thoughts at once

just so's I know, do you think someone is doing this or are you just reporting events as they happen?

Hello.

 

I'm a planetary scientist. I know quite a bit about orbital cycles, tidal forces, geology and volcanology.

 

I have to admit that some of the facts that you present in that blog are plain wrong, or I would say they are unless you can provide references.

 

However, some of what you say is very interesting, scientifically sound and I've never heard before. I would be interested if you could provide some cross referenced data of things like eclipse/perigee times and earthquakes or point me in the direction of some.

It's not "cross referenced data", either.

I'm afraid I'm not going to find and buy a book, I'd prefer to look at data.

 

It's not "Just plain Newton's laws." Tidal stresses are not what causes volcanoes or earthquakes. They will have some effect, but not directly. That and the fact that the variation in tidal force is max about 15%, and that's when everything is lined up, which is basically never.

 

Seems like an oversimplified version of reality, really.

 

And I know it's not rocket science, it's far more complicated than that.

Have you ever read Erich von Däniken? He's another crackpot. My point being that just because someone writes a book, doesn't mean that they're an authoritative source:

Do you consider it odd that his theories of global cooling are diametrically opposed to those of even a former climate sceptic?

Three numbers ain't really data.

Also looking at Wolfram Alpha's graph suggests the sunspot peaks are on average every 10.5 years, which is supported by looking at data from Wikipedia stating 10.6 as a the mean.

So where does the 11.2 come from?

Which of these is your favourite and why?
