Earthquake Axis Shift

The 8.8 earthquake in Santiago, which killed hundreds and affected millions across Chile, may have also resulted in a Pole Shift, NASA scientist believe.  The cause of the axis shift is due to the fact that epicenter of the quake was located in the Earth's mid-latitudes and the fault which caused the quake cuts through the Earth at a steep angle. This resulted in a vertical slip of the Earth's mass, creating a move in the Earth's axis by 8 inches or 3 cm, and a day which is now 1.26 milliseconds shorter.

supposedly they can only measure the rotation of the earth to the precision of 20 millionths of a second, so while these computer models predict it is likely that this shortening of the day occurred, it cannot actually be measured, at least for 20 or so years when we'll be able to see the effect!

Its interesting about the pole shift, but really big question is what about the HAARP machine that the US millitary are using....really it is no secret, Iran and Russie know about it, this is what really caused that earthquake, and sadly many more soon I suspect.

@PaulJay: I agree, there is a lot of evidence to suggest the use of HAARP goes far beyond what we are told. If you look at the natural disaster increase over the last few years I'm sure there is a correlation.

I really want to Buy African Mango and a Bowflex PR1000.

@Jimmy121: Jimmy, I see your point regarding HAARP, but do you really think our government is trying to harm us? :S

I like nox360 and nox edge.

@Jimmy121: surely there is a statistical correlation but it's hard to give any concrete prove to the cause and effects behind all such conspiracy theories. read Canon T3i Review
