Default Indonesian Earthquake

From CNN breaking news:

Quote:
Earthquake measuring 8.2 reported off coast of Indonesia on same fault line as quake that caused December’s deadly tsunami. Details soon.
I sure hope this isn't another tsunami incident.

Man, mother nature really hates these people.....

I hope they are ok, and that they can get through this and continue to rebuild and heal from the devastating tsunami.

It sounds like they will be.....they havent evacuated yet, but im guessing the minute the detect a tsunami they will issue the order..

And since there are people from all over the world helping them rebuild as of now, they will have a better chance of evacuation I think.

Good luck to Indonesia and Sumatra..Our thoughts are with you..

I think that the 8.2 earthquake in Indonesia was an aftershock of the 9.0 earthquake last December 26. Asia has been through a lot lately. Nature has its own way of decreasing the population. Today, the Philippines has experienced another tremor that lasted for a few seconds.

BTW, did you know that the largest gamma burst ever recorded happened within 12 hours of the 9.0 earthquake? Some crackpot scientists theorize that the gravity wave from the gamma burst caused the earthquake. Gravity waves, if they exist, are supposedly able to travel at something like 26 times the speed of light...


To me, all three theories are equally possible.

I have a hard time beliving that they travel any faster then the speed of light, I may be wrong thou but I don't think I am.
