Last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan has actually moved the island closer to the United States and shifted the planet's axis.
The quake caused a rift 15 miles below the sea floor that stretched 186 miles long and 93 miles wide, according to the AP. The areas closest to the epicenter of the quake jumped a full 13 feet closer to the United States, geophysicist Ross Stein at the United States Geological Survey told The New York Times.
The 9.0 magnitude quake (the fourth-largest recorded since 1900) was caused when the Pacific tectonic plate dove under the North American plate, which shifted Eastern Japan towards North America by about 13 feet (see NASA's before and after photos at right). The quake also shifted the earth's axis by 6.5 inches, shortened the day by 1.6 microseconds, and sank Japan downward by about two feet. As Japan's eastern coastline sunk, the tsunami's waves rolled in.
Why did the quake shorten the day? The earth's mass shifted towards the center, spurring the planet to spin a bit faster. Last year's massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile also shortened the day, but by an even smaller fraction of a second. The 2004 Sumatra quake knocked a whopping 6.8 micro-seconds off the day.
After the country's 1995 earthquake, Japan placed high-tech sensors around the country to observe even the slightest movements, which is why scientists are able to calculate the quake's impact down to the inch. "This is overwhelmingly the best-recorded great earthquake ever," Lucy Jones, chief scientist for the Multi-Hazards project at the U.S. Geological Survey, told The Los Angeles Times.
The tsunami's waves necessitated life-saving evacuations as far away as Chile. Fisherman off the coast of Mexico reported a banner fishing day Friday, and speculated that the tsunami knocked sealife in their direction.
]My thoughts to all in Japan.
If you can't give money, give a prayer, and if you don't pray... keep them in your thoughts.
You might never know how nice it feels, to have someone thinking of you during a rough time... until it happens to you.
Take heed world, and know that all men are equal regardless of race or creed. What can happen to one man, nation or race can well as happen to any other. We are all brothers and sisters in this struggle filled world and only the coming together of the each and everyone can alleviate the stress and pain of another.
The rapture is near,in fact its sooner than we expected it to be. One of the reasons are the shortening of daytime. There will still be lots of devastating disasters like this that will come for us so please be prepared.

alphawolf888 King Jelubi The rapture has actually been said to begin on May 21st of this year but I don't believe it. Really? I think I heard that somewhere too. Are you going to laugh with me on Dec 24th 2012 or whatever the day-after is of the "apocalypse" as well? Lol
I'm not going to be laughing because you will only let your guard down when the true apocalypse will actually happen. |

I'm just saying that people can't truly put a date on this. I know it's coming, and I'm trying to live like it will happen any second. |
