Default Chilean Quake Shifted Earth’s Axis

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-03-0...ntist-says.html

-----------------------------------------

cliff note : “The length of the day should have gotten shorter by 1.26 microseconds (millionths of a second),” Gross, said today in an e-mailed reply to questions. “The axis about which the Earth’s mass is balanced should have moved by 2.7 milliarcseconds (about 8 centimeters or 3 inches).”

---------

haha interesting. Will the film 2012 come true?

You guys realize the earth has shifted like this many times before right?



Begs the question "were days the same length now that they were in biblical times even?"

God, THAT must be how you created the earth in 7 days, they were probably VERY long days lol.
