I am involved with modelling and simulation of different scenarios where energy is released at super-sonic speed, creating shock waves.

IMO -These earthquakes are all normal operations in subduction zones. When that stored energy is released, huge earthquakes can occur, with or without the help of the moon.

Om Shanti and thanks for the info. All of us are reading or watching the news about Japan's Tsunami. I sincerely hope that Mother Nature gives them respite to overcome this huge loss of life and property. I also hope the nuclear installations which are in danger of causing radiation leak are repaired in time to prevent any other disaster. I think it will take many months to clear the mess or even to come to terms with the tragedy.

Earth’s axis wobbles, your day’s shorter.......

In the Advance Knowledge, ShivBaba has already spoken of how the axis of the Earth would change at the end of the Confluence Age as a consequences of largescale Earthquakes and nuclear blasts and thus trigger a complete change in the nature in the Golden Age and Silver Age.

Wikipedia says the earth's axial tilt is currently 23.4°. After final destruction, it will revert back to its perpendicular position(lost at the end of the Silver Age), giving us constant spring weather in Heaven... lovely! :D

Mrs Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Burton Warner Fortensky

LOS ANGELES: Jokers liked to call her Mrs Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Burton Warner Fortensky. Indeed, Elizabeth Taylor was prolific as a bride. "I think I ended up being the scarlet woman partly because of my puritanical upbringing and beliefs," she once said. "I couldn't just have a romance; it had to be marriage."

Taylor's love life probably received more public notice than any figure in history, including Cleopatra (whom she portrayed) and Casanova. Her wedding at age 18 to Conrad Nicholson "Nicky" Hilton, 23, on May 6, 1950, was hailed as the Hollywood social event of the year. "The honeymoon in Europe lasted two weeks," Taylor wrote in a 1965 memoir. "I should say the marriage lasted for two weeks. Then came, yours sincerely, disillusionment — rude and brutal."

Of her marriage to British actor Michael Wilding, Taylor wrote: "We had a lovely, easy life, very simple, very quiet. Two babies were born. We had friends. We did not do much."

That all changed when she met Mike Todd. He was the dynamic producer of Broadway girlie shows, promoting the bigscreen Cinerama and an allstar film of 'Around the World in 80 Days' . He swept Taylor off her feet and out of her marriage to Wilding. "He had a joy, a relish about being alive, a vitality that was so contagious," she wrote. "He was a fabulous con artist — could con the gold out of your teeth — but was terribly generous."

Todd's life was snuffed out on a New Mexico mountaintop in the 1958 crash of his private plane. Among those who consoled the widow was singer Eddie Fisher. Their romance caused the biggest scandal of the time, to be superseded by a bigger scandal surrounding her fourth marriage.

Taylor was branded a "home wrecker" for allegedly breaking up Fisher's marriage to Debbie Reynolds. Two years after her 1959 marriage to Fisher, Taylor met Richard Burton on the set of 'Cleopatra' . "Has anybody ever told you that you're a very pretty girl?" said the actor. Her reaction : "Here's the great lover, the great wit, the great intellectual of Wales, and he comes out with a line like that!" They were soon madly in love, and the world's press trumpeted every development of the affair . After divorces from their spouses, Taylor and Burton married on March 15, 1964. They divorced in 1974, remarried in 1975 and divorced finally the following year.

From show biz, Taylor moved to politics. In 1976 she married John W Warner and helped his successful campaign for the US Senate in 1978. They were divorced in 1982. "Being a senator's wife is not easy," she said. "It's very lonely. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."

Her companion as she battled pneumonia in April 1990 was Larry Fortensky, 37, a construction worker she met while both were undergoing treatment at the Betty Ford Center. She married Fortensky in October 1991 at friend Michael Jackson's ranch. But in February 1996 she filed for divorce.

"You don't get over men like the flu," she said. "Every divorce is like a little death." Which was not to say she was giving up on men entirely. "I am not going to join a nunnery," she said. "I said I am through with marriage, but I am not through with men — that wouldn't be realistic."
