So, you have undoubtedly heard of the Chilean quake, the whole 8.8 thing.. you know, the one that released 66.6 exajoules of power? You know the one that knocked Earth off it’s axis? Oh yeah, you didn’t hear about that?
Think about that for a second, think of how powerful it must be to actually SHIFT EARTHS AXIS.
Business Week has an article about just that.
“The length of the day should have gotten shorter by 1.26 microseconds (millionths of a second),” Gross, said today in an e-mailed reply to questions. “The axis about which the Earth’s mass is balanced should have moved by 2.7 milliarcseconds (about 8 centimeters or 3 inches).”
Well, at least this is good news for any chap who has promised to make love to his partner “all night”.. it just got 1.26 microseconds easier. BOOSH!
