Comet Elenin and the end of the world as we know it.

Posted on by

A good friend of mine assured me the world’s not ending real soon.  I didn’t even realize we were at risk.  Now I do.  Thanks Dale!  OK, what she’s referring to is Comet Elenin.  There are some conspiracy theories about Elenin.  The best one has to be at USAhitman.com.  They’ve got all kinds of “evidence” that this is an end of the world event:

I here demonstrate empirically my georesonator concept in which tidally induced magnification of Earth masses’ resonance causes seismicity. To that end, I show that all strong (~M6+) earthquakes of 2010 occurred during the Earth’s long (t>3 day) astronomical alignments within our solar system. I then show that the same holds true for all very strong (~M8+) earthquakes of the decade of 2000s. Finally, the strongest (M8.6+) earthquakes of the past century are shown to have occurred during the Earth’s multiple long alignments, whereas half of the high-strongest (M9+) ones occurred during the Full Moon. I used the comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin), as it has been adding to robustness in terms of very strong seismicity since 2007 (in terms of strongest seismicity: since 1965). The Elenin will continue intensifying the Earth’s very strong seismicity until August-October, 2011. Approximate forecast of earthquakes based on my discoveries is feasible. This demonstration proves my hyperresonator concept, arrived at earlier as a mathematical-physical solution to the most general extension of the georesonator concept possible.

And, they even have all kinds of data to support the theory.  Here’s a little piece of it, slightly modified for my effect:

EVENT DATE LOCATION MAGNITUDE
Elenin – Earth – Sun 2/20/2008 Indonesia 7.4
Elenin – Earth – Sun 2/25/2008 Indonesia 7.2
Elenin – Earth – Neptune 5/12/2008 China 7.9
Elenin – Earth – Sun 2/18/2009 Kermadec Islands 7
Elenin – Earth -Jupiter 5/18/2009 Los Angeles, US 4.7
Elenin – Mercury- Earth 7/15/2009 New Zealand 7.8
Elenin – Mercury – Earth 8/9/2009 Japan 7.1
Elenin – Sun – Earth 9/9/2009 Sunola islands 8.1
Elenin – Earth – Venus 2/18/2010 China/RU/N.Korea 6.9
Elenin – Earth-Sun 2/25/2010 China 5.2
Elenin – Earth-Sun 2/26/2010 Japan 7
Elenin – Earth- Sun 2/27/2010 Chile 8.8
Elenin – Earth- Sun 2/27/2010 Argentina 6.3
Elenin – Earth – Mercury 3/4/2010 Taiwan 6.3
Elenin – Earth – Mercury 3/4/2010 Vanuatu 6.5
Elenin – Earth – Mercury 3/5/2010 Chile 6.6
Elenin – Earth – Mercury 3/5/2010 Indonesia 6.3

Elenin – Earth – Neptune 5/5/2010 Indonesia 6.6
Elenin – Earth – Neptune 5/6/2010 Chile 6.2
Elenin – Earth – Neptune 5/9/2010 Indonesia 7.2
Elenin – Earth – Neptune 5/14/2010 Algeria 5.2
ELENIN DISCOVERED 12/10/2010
Elenin – Earth – Jupiter 1/3/2011 Chile 7
Elenin – Earth – Sun 3/11/2011 Japan 9

And, they even show the trajectory, pretty much straight from NASA:

Comet Elenin original trajectory

But, that makes it a one time event?  How could all those past events have occurred if Elenin is on a one-shot trajectory?

Now here is another piece of ‘Scientific Data’: This is a diagram of the projected path of ELEnin and it clearly shows that the data has been tampered with..

All of a sudden we’ve got federal protocols, the Illuminati, and everything else coming into the conversation to justify the “scientific data”.  I’m serious, it’s another space craft too.  You can NOT have a conspiracy theory without some secret agenda.

NASA’s pretty dismissive of Elenin actually:

Comet Elenin will not come closer to Earth than 22 million miles (35 million kilometers). That’s more than 90 times the distance to the moon.

It will not align with anything, it will not block the sun, it will be barely noticeable for the most part.

Are you concerned about Comet Elenin?

Boobs do cause earthquakes

Not too long ago I did a piece on a goofball cleric in Iran who decided earthquakes were the result of too much promiscuity.  Women were showing too much boobage and upsetting the balance of the planet.  This so disturbed Jennifer McCreight that she made a Facebook page:

This morning at 12:05am all women taking part in this “experiment” were to dress themselves in breast revealing attire for the day just to see what the effect would be.

At 2:59am UTC, a 6.5 earthquake hit Taiwan.

The real cause of earthquakes

A few days ago I pondered on the sunspot/earthquake relationship, whether it could exist or not, what degree it might work, etc..   I felt I was probably pushing the limits of credibility with that argument.  But, to me, it made some sense. 

Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi thinks it’s much simpler than that:

“Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes,”

So naturally, to prevent earthquakes:

“There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam’s moral codes.”

There.  That’ll solve that pesky earthquake problem.

Earthquakes and sunspots

We had a pretty good little earthquake in the western part of the country.  Supposedly about 7.2 based in Baja California.   That got me thinking that it seemed we have had a lot of big earthquakes of late.  And, it got me thinking of another thing happening right now.  So, doing as I am prone to do, I put them together.  Here is how they stack up:

earthquakes 2000-2010 

Earthquakes in general have dropped some very recently.  Bigger ones have picked up this year, but the smaller ones are still lagging way behind normal.

sunspots

And the stat everyone’s familiar with now, sunspots are on the upswing.  Notice anything unusual about the two?  More energy coming from the sun, fewer earthquakes.  The only real thought I have is things move more smoothly on liquids than they do solids.  The more molten the core is, the easier stuff floating on it moves. 

There’s the hypothesis :)

However, most astronomers will tell you the sun has no impact on Earth’s climate.  So therefore, this must be just another one of those amazing coincidences involving an activity on Earth and activity on the Sun.

Remember when all the world was freaking out over the hockey-stick?  Well, seems now the hockey-stick was never anything to worry about.  It was contrived, to put it nicely.

Now, we have Himalayagate:

A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it.

Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming. A central claim was the world’s glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035.

In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC’s 2007 report.

It has also emerged that the New Scientist report was itself based on a short telephone interview with Syed Hasnain, a little-known Indian scientist then based at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.

Hasnain has since admitted that the claim was “speculation” and was not supported by any formal research. If confirmed it would be one of the most serious failures yet seen in climate research. The IPCC was set up precisely to ensure that world leaders had the best possible scientific advice on climate change.

That’s right, the IPCC printed a “finding” that was based on no science at all.  None.  Nada.  Remember, these are the Novel Peace Prize guys.  It was this “research” that led to groups like Greenpeace to put stuff like this on the internet:

Which of course led Al Gore to give speeches about the melting ice:

Which of course, led to the Nobel Peace Prize people to give him an award as well.

But, it’s all wrong. And, the IPCC never, ever, had any evidence to say it was ever even occurring in the first place.

And not one single academia questioned it.

That was Al Gore at the COP15 meetings that resulted in nothing being accomplished even though Obama insisted SOMETHING, anything, be done. Fortunately nothing was. Danny Glover now thinks them doing nothing in Denmark resulted in the Haiti earthquake. I’m sure he’ll get a Nobel for that too.

KERMADEC ISLANDS NEW ZEALAND EARTHQUAKE

Just got the USGS notice that there was a 7.3 mag earthquake in New Zealand.  It wasn’t just two years ago that they had another 7+ boomer there.  I would be horribly fearful for the safety of the Kermadecans there, but take a look at where this is:

No one lives there.

Which just makes me wonder the same thing I’ve wondered in the past. If no one’s there, and it’s in the ocean, how do they know it even happened much less what the severity was?

The Big One

Is it me?  Am I the only one that gets the impression that every single time there is an earthquake in southern California, it’s a dress rehearsal for “the big one”?  I swear this has been going on my entire life.

Now, given the tectonics of southern California, there no-doubt will be a “big one”.  But, I imagine there will be thousands of “not-big” ones until that happens.  Yesterday’s 5.4 is a “sorta-big one”.  There was basically no real serious damage done.  I know an 8 would do a lot more damage, but 8′s are very rare.  The problem I have with all this is the same effect of what happened in New Orleans.  There were so many false-alarms that hit the Gulf Coast that when “the big one” did strike, a lot of people had ignored the warnings.  Maybe it would be better if we just reported things a little more responsibly and not compare each and every decent earthquake as a precursor to “the big one” since “the big one” has never followed any of the earthquakes they have compared it to?

Then, as a seperate dialogue completely, occasionally run stories on “the big one” and what can be done to mitigate it.

Woke up this morning to have Mrs. Moon inform me we had an earthquake. As with the 1974 tornadoes, I slept through it :(

However, my research tells me I missed a 2.8 here.  Not too shabby considering it was 5.2 295 miles away.

Next time, I’d prefer to have some excitement NOT in the middle of the night!

Hayward Fault

Scientists think they know where the next big earthquake will be in California.  Namely, right here:

Google Maps

See the town of Hayward?  That town sits right on the Hayward Fault ( coincidence? ).  Now, I would be a little more skeptical of Livescience’s article, but I remember watching a baseball game a few years ago and watching an earthquake knock it off the air.  Apparently they get pretty good ones all the time.  Now, the problem I have is unlike hurricanes, major earthquakes are not predictable.  Unlike tornadoes, earthquakes can devastate an entire region, knocking out infrastructure.  Unlike almost anything else, earthquakes can change the lay of the land making immediate reparations impossible.  However, given the awesome destructiveness of a major earthquake, and knowing the history of the area, some 2 million plus people have called the Hayward Fault home.   That’s a lot of people.  Let’s think of this way, it’s four times the population and density of the area affected by Katrina.  And, we knew Katrina was coming.  The next “big one” for Hayward won’t give us that luxury of planning.

Bottom line, knowing what we know, and the Californians knowing what they know, will they still try to blame FEMA if the President is a Republican when it does hit?  I mean, they’ve been warned.  Now the political playing field is exactly the same.  Everyone knew New Orleans could flood, and it did.  We all know it’s just a matter of time before a major earthquake hits California again.  But, people still move there.  I have several friends that live there.  They’re not morons.  They know the risks involved of being there.  But, when the next big one does come, how many people in that area will blame it on FEMA, the government, or anything other than their own decision to live there when people die and property is destroyed?

Final bottom line, there is risk involved no matter where you live.  That’s a given.  However, what is bothering me of late is people seem to refuse to acknowledge that risk and when that risk materializes, blame someone else for their own decision to live there.  Bad things are going to happen anywhere, there WILL be a major earthquake in Hayward.  No if’s and’s or but’s.  The Midwest will suffer from floods and tornadoes.  No if’s and’s or but’s.  The deep South will have hurricanes.  The northeast freezing cold and dangerous blizzards.  Earth is just a dangerous place.  Don’t blame it on FEMA, you’ve been warned.
