Chile Earthquake May Have Shortened Days on Earth

The massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth's rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet, a NASA scientist said Monday.

The quake, the seventh strongest earthquake in recorded history, hit Chile Saturday and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 milliseconds, according to research scientist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

"Perhaps more impressive is how much the quake shifted Earth's axis," NASA officials said in a Monday update.

The computer model used by Gross and his colleagues to determine the effects of the Chile earthquake effect also found that it should have moved Earth's figure axis by about 3 inches (8 cm or 27 milliarcseconds).



2012 Incoming! :helpme:helpme:helpme

The world is changing all around us. Interesting times.

Damn 3 inches is a huge amount.

that's crazy

i wonder how they measer it.

i mean do thay have a tape measure that big?

I tell you, all these theories of the end of the world may be true!

I don't think earth has ever seen a series of natural disasters of this magnitude so close in time. Maybe it has, but with the floods/hurricanes/earthquakes/blizzards/etc it's alarming for sure.

I know the end of the world bible thumpers are getting their ducks in a row!

Are they having a fucking laugh ??

what he ^^^^said. truly incredible

hopefully the GPS satellites have been re-configured.
they rely heavily on time and distance to pin point positions..

You rock man! I love that show.

has anyone blamed Obama yet?

should counter act the earthquake and tsuanami from 2004 that sepd up the earth


just natures way oof re correcting itsself

I want my 1.26ms back!

Perhaps you should shorten your workday by 1.26ms so you don't feel quite as cheated.

big deal...
it'll get over it...

end of days....soon

2012 believer here as well
laugh all you want, the end is coming...

there is a major fault line that passes right through chile and travels up through california and arches up around and back down through japan, quakes have been happening for millions of years, they said that it is one of the few heaviest measured quakes on the planet but thats BS b ecause i'm not going to believe they are able to measure something like that from 1000's of years ago.

now there is small quakes in california and in japan on a daily basis but are very small so a big one every once and a while is expected.
the earth will NOT end in 2012 and is a binch of bullshit.

the earth should have ended in 1900 and didn't, 2000 and didn't, 2009 with the CERN and didn't......keep in mind there were other years it was supposed to end but it didn't.
religion is a joke, the mayan theory is a joke, planet X or nibiru is a joke.......it is all part of a marketing campaign of 100's of trillions of dollars, the percentage of sales of conspiracy,2012,nibiru books,dvds, commercials during special tv shows and anything related to it has sky rocketed within the last 2 years.

i have seen literally about over 100 new books that have to do with 2012 show up in my local small bookstore within the last year, coincidence? no!

take this info also, the swine flu was announced last may if i am not mistaken, they said the boom was supposed to be around december-january and they were talking about 100's of thousands of deaths by it and sold millions of vaccines, most of which were never used (money in the medicine companies pocket) here we are in march and the swine flu has DISSAPEARED from all forms of media, it was not marketed how it should have been and they didn't make it to well, the same symptoms as fever?? RRRRIIIIGHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTT!!!!

or how about last year some screwball lady who was like a psychic or something said a giant UFO about 20 kms wide should appear over kansas or something if i remember correctly as this lady was informed by the galactic light order or something like that and well she sold thousands of her books within a few days, well the date came and went, no giant UFO and this lady dissapeared from the internet and no one ever got a refund, i didn't read into it anymore so i don't know how it ended.

so untill it actually happens i wouldn't really care about it, live your life, have sex, make money and enjoy lifes greatest gifts and don't consume your lives with this crap.

I'm sure the earth will exist for as long as I'm alive at least.

I can't even blink in 1.26 milliseconds...

I tried, 1.279 seconds.

You are right.

Hell with the things you say, you should write a fucking book yourself. The most intelligent words I have read on this forum in a while.

Yeah, I read that today as well. Pretty fucking CRAZY!
