What caused it from you point of view?
The moon, dopey!

Why do you say that? Is there a consensus about that, and among whom?
I checked my planetary program (SkyMapPro) and it says that at the exact
time of the 9.0 M. earthquake, the Moon was *396 310.1 km from the Earth.

The average distance of the Moon is 384 405 km, so its gravitational effect
was much less than normal at the time of the quake.

Thanks for a long answer, anyway.

Don't fall down any crevasses.

Yes it do happen around here. One of my mountain friends
perished that way...

Sorry about that.

The moon can't possibly raise a tide from a quarter million miles away
just by gravity. There is obviously a step or two missing in that
algorithm.

The earth is 81 times heavier and an awful lot nearer the sea than the
moon is.
The Apollo rockets needed to be about five tenths of the way to the
moon before the moon took over the pull, IIRC.

Besides a lump of lead is far more attractive than a drop of water.
Look at Newton's equations again. If the moon was capable of pulling
the way it is supposed to, the earth would be a lot more oblate.

For some reason I don't understand, the time of the phase of the moon
sets up a standing wave that calls the Lows and the Highs into
existance and controls their motions. It is obviously something to do
with acoustics.

It can't be anything else. Believe me I have tried to make the pieces
fit, starting with contemporary misconceptions. In fact if god hadn't
to disabuse me of odern ideas I'd have landed on the truth a long time
ago.

When you remove the impossible, what you are left with are very few
and very obvious choices.

But what do I know?

I was going to post a couple of articles on my blog but the USB won't
open unless I close down and reboot and my time is almost up on this
computer so I will have time to rewrite them for next week.

I was going to hang on to what I had about the Japanese quake to see
about getting it published but now I think I'll just put that on my
blog too.

(I really must get that thing finished, there's so much I have put on
it though it will be about a gigabyte long.)

I'll post a link to this thread when I finish it.
