Me: Well, I've a two talented kids; the younger said, 'Stop with the lectures.' Then asked, 'Dad, can I help you set up a blog?' Moments later, Me: 'OK, that's a great idea, thinkin' they might just read it someday.

Science, Environment, History, Humor (seriously)
Well, if you add the 2004 Sumatran 9.1 quake that shortened 6.8 microseconds/day to this Chilean 8.8, then someone born today would have lived 80 years, they will actually now live 80.25 or get 91.3 additional days to live. Now, this is perceptual as the actual hours lived will be the same.
Another question is how much mass accumulates upon the earth, slowing the rotation, or the reverse effect of the quake, which seems to settle the mass deeper into the crust? All the energy bombarding the place, has certainly increased the mass… with much of it on the surface or above with grand trees, and now skyscrapers, etc. Am I assuming something here?
And so, is the day gradually edging longer and longer … until one day it snaps, and whallah … earthquake? Say I planted a laser on a big rock and selected a time where it would hit Polaris -whack, dead on. Then round and round we go, … whee … until the next day …. wack and measure that interval of laser on Polaris aka North Star. (of course we are assuming Polaris is sitting there with nothing going on… duh). The moon is moving away at about 3 cm per year … and what’s that doing … well let’s see…
