When a rock ( earth) can grow trees, grass etc. Expand and contract as if breathing. I believe this constitutes a lifeform. But that's just me thinking out loud

I just link all of this with the energetic area of space were entering into, its gonna have some effects on the planets, wonder how much of an effect though.

Agreed but who knows could be massive could be cumulative, could be just slightly worse than normal.

Atoms have a nucleus. Cells have a nucleus. The Earth has a core. If you drew lines around the orbits of the planets, your picture would look like rough version of an atom, with the sun as the nucleus. Is it just a coincidence that these forms are they way they are?

I say no. It is by a grand design.

Nice point Claw, never saw it like that

This location in India has a long history of massive earthquakes

I wish that was reassuring. Fact is that the major fault lines are going to be the first ones to go off since they are already so sensitive.

I'll really be concerned if and when volcanic activity becomes widespread from a once dormant state.

Grand design or Inteligent design? :look:

So will I and Krakatoa awakened the other day...

@ Claw yeh that's the way I've always saw things what is big is the same as what is small.

Right film on..

Hey guys I started a whole other thread on the issue of a living earth so we could leave this one for the earthquakes.

WASHINGTON - A massive magnitude 7.6 quake struck in the Indian Ocean off India's Andaman Islands, triggering a tsunami watch for India, Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand and Bangladesh, the U.S. Geological Survey reported on Monday.

The USGS said the quake, initially reported as a magnitude 7.7, was 20.6 miles deep and was centered 160 miles north of Port Blair in the Andaman Islands.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami watch for the region. "Sea level readings indicate a tsunami was generated," the center said in a statement. "It may have been destructive along coasts near the earthquake epicenter."

Indonesia said it was monitoring its coasts, and the center said the danger could persist for two hours along coasts near the epicenter.

USGS seismologist William Leith said the quake could be an aftershock to the December 2004 earthquake that sparked the massive tsunami that killed more than 200,000 people.

Leith said it appeared to have happened on the same plate boundary and the same area in the Indian Ocean as the 2004 earthquake.

For a quake as strong as the one in 2004, aftershocks can continue for years, he said.

I think it was Pioneer10 that first showed that our system would be entering a high energy area of space(although i cant remember for certain, was a long time ago.) I always just figured it was on about the Galactic Plane, as most of these particles come from the centre of our galxy, so we will be getting closer to this "energy" now.
