cb67rs1 Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 just heard on the local radio station that the earth quake cause the earths rotation to slow down, which we would lose 3 milliseconds for every second and that it actually shifted the entire north pole one inch. can you guys believe this stupid bullshit? i think the are full of shit Quote
fixitrod Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 One of the islands moved 100ft to. Crazy shit. Quote
03LE Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 gawd... no wonder work seemed so much longer this week but seriously I head that too, I guess it happend like 10 or 15 years ago as well when that big earth quake happened, near Europe or somewhere I can't remember where? So we are now like 6 milliseconds off or some shite Quote
bigboybanshee Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 I heard something to that effect too, that the world was "slower" as a result from this earthquake....kinda freaky eh? Quote

Fireman-hott Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Yeah, but its been happening for millions of years, unless all the plates shook like that for a long period of time its not too big of a deal. But man that whole island is Toast. You like how the fucking UN of all said we dont donate enough relief aid...Who the fuck are they kidding, how about some relief for 9/11 didn't see many countries running to aid us. Fucking piles of shit. Quote

jinx44 Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Well, a day is not "exactly" 24 hours long. Its actually a few milliseconds longer anyway. I have read that every 12,000 years (may not be exact since its been 7-8 years since I read this) we will gain a day. Maybe the few milli seconds we are slow will make it right. Quote
Ducman Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 It has to do with the theory of relativity. As you approach the speed of light time slows down. Don't ask me to esplain, I don't fully understand it myself but we touched on the subjest when I was in school. Satelites are actually affected by their extremely high velocity to the point that they loose enough time that they have to have a correction so they stay in sincronization with the time on the surface of the earth or else they would aventually be in the wrong location in orbit when we wanted them to be at location "X" at a certain time because they haven't got there yet. It's just so minute that it is hard to measure over a short period of time. Technically time is slower on a mountain top than at sealevel because you are moving faster as the earth rotates like being on the outside of a merry go round vs the center, you just cant measure the difference very easily. The rocket scientist and physicists that do understand all this get the big bucks and make the world go around , pun intended. Quote
jinx44 Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Ducman, you wouldn't happen to know a good book on the theory of relativity do you? We never talked about it in school and I have only picked up on the basics, but I want to read up on it. I just haven't been able to find any books about it. Also, are you on 1000RR.net? I think I remember seeing a Ducati owner on there called "Ducman". Quote

MudSlinger09 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 this means we live longer then , from a time perspective Quote
cb67rs1 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Posted December 31, 2004 Why wouldnt i believe that bullshit? Seeing how they are scientists and your not. 299854[/snapback] well its doesnt take a scientist to figure out the world doesnt have a couple blown 454 big blocks mounted in its core to make it spin! so how the hell is an earthquack gonna slow ya down there smart ass Quote
FORMULASPEED Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 (edited) Actually the earthquake caused the earth to speed up by a fraction of a second and also shifted the axis of the earth. media link Like I need my days to go by faster Less time to ride the banshee Maybe it was a nuke Edited December 31, 2004 by FORMULASPEED Quote
