Apparently the quake has altered the Earth's movement by 3 miliseconds. Can anyone confirm this?

If so, how can this affect energy and so forth...

I have heard of the earth wobbling on it's axis because of this? In reality what will 3 milliseconds do? How would something like that affect seasons for example? Are we going to notice the difference?

Actually it was 3 microseconds, theoretically this is how much each day was shortened by. A microsecond is a millionth of a second, theres 60 seconds in a minute, 60minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and finally 365days a year, the 3 microseconds accumalte over to shorten a year by 94.6 seconds. Nothing to get excited about, but over the long term maybe another leap year will need to be added.

Yeah, every 913 years another day will need to be added.
Otherwise in 333361.5 years we'll have had a year unaccounted for, nightmare!

That post made my day PIAG! Good legwork!

However, while 3 microseconds sounds insignificant, it could have some kind of effect on our world in ways that we do not understand. Then again, they said the nuclear tests and blasts have reduced our lives by a few years.

That's real scary, he's been quite accurate in the past.

In case anyone is interested he's on Coast To Coast AM tonight, I'm sure he'll talk about this.....and other related events. In fact Coast to Coast has had some of the best coverage of the tsunami that I've heard. I receive it on like eight different AM stations, it's easy to find.

I wouldnt miss it for the world

He also said on his last visit to Coast to Coast to enjoy this Christmas. its our last!

Yeah coast to coast sounds like a brilliant station, just the sort of stuff to listen to in the car etc. Wish I could get it in the uk, over the internet theres some rip off subscription of like $10 a month

I will tell you this, its worth the $10.00/month

Its a great show for those of us who like conspiracies

I was just curiuos. Does anybody know if the tsunami's affected Australia at all? I havent and information from there but Africa is ever farther away so...

The magnitude of this tragedy is nearly incomprehensible to me. Keeping up with the aftermath in the media over the past week has personally left me with overwhelming feelings of sadness for all those who are enduring such incredible suffering in that region of the world.

Thankfully Australia was not physically affected, although we share the greif and shock at this tradgety as the rest of the world.

The Marine Corps is providing humanitarian assistance as we speak, we have augments all over indonesia, providing assistance. My unit is leaving today, as a matter of fact.
