I know that the Mayan calender ends in 2012 (Dec 23 if im not mistaken) and a lot of people think it either means the end of the world or just that it was the end of THEIR calendar…but, I have also recently heard the whole theory of ‘planet x’ or ‘Niberu’<spelling that is basically a planet out of control that will not hit the earth but will throw off the magnetic fields of the earth and cause earthquakes, tsunami’s on a scale not known by man.. there are also pictures of this so called planet x on youtube, is there any truth to this.. what are your thoughts..?

It is possible by applying sharp mind to accept the invention like the one I designed that is earthquake alarm. It has proved its capability on 5 occasions including on the day of Tsunami. Even though it was appreciated by several leading scientist some group wants to hide its capability. I know we have not yet succeeded in prediction. But early warning without wasting the time in communication will help to a great extend. I have records to prove that I issued the warning 2 hours before Tsunami struck our Indian coast.Who has to bell the cat is the question now.

Volcanos for instance. How often on average is there an eruption around the world? One every year? Every 5-15 years?

Lightning? I seem to recall hearing that there is a lightning bolt every 4 seconds or something somewhere in the world

Hurricanes? Fifty or so I would guess?

Earthquakes above, say, 4.0? Maybe….. 150-200?

Tsunami waves? Maybe 1 every 10 years?

Tornado? No idea……

It’d be interesting to know how often these things occur.

apart from the red Crescent , which is just the islam version of red Cross, what other Moslem Aid agencies are there.

The huge earthquakes in Indonesia just now and the tsunami that hit last year affected mostly moslem populations yet there seems very little help or support from these sectors.

Does Islam even have aid agencies to support their people?

Yesterday, I saw many signs & boxes about donating food & school supplies to places, like Africa & Honduras. But do other countries do that for us when our country is struggling? I understand that those are poor countries, but I’m just curious.

People cared more about the tsunami in Asia than they cared abut Hurricanes Katrina & Rita. Why is that?
Yeah. That’s what I’m saying. People here in the US didn’t care about the disasters of their own country.

According to a report on CNN scientists had discovered why human beings are more intelligent than animals. However, being that scientists know everything (according to all nonbelievers) then why is it when a disaster occurs such as a giant tsunami as in Southeast Asia which killed multitudes, authorities could hardly find any animals that died in the flooding. They surmised that the animals had some sort of intelligence that caused them to move to higher ground when the tsunami-causing earthquake struck.

It was human beings who stayed on the beach to take pictures of the wave as it approached.

Science doesn’t have all the answers and will always only be able to prove what God allows them.
clearly, scientists were wrong again, so why do so many still believe?
clearly I am ass for assuming that you all didnt need word for word clarification of the underlying gist of my question. For all the rocket scientists out there my question was more directed to why do so many believe in scientists when the scientists are not always right not to mention that science changes like the wind; and if you don’t use science to back your not believing in God that what do you use? so many have used science to back up that they don’t believe that God exists on this forum.

On 25 Mar 2007 00:42:02 (UTC): NEAR WEST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN
Geographic coordinates: 37.537N, 136.437E an earth quake of Magnitude: 7.3 Mw at a depth of 32 kilo meter was reported and the seismologist alerted the people to move away from sea shore just because they feared that it may create Tsunami. Later on they found that only the wave height was increased by just 10 C.M . Later on the warning was with drawn. I did the same thing on 26 Dec 2004. That is after I sensed the major earthquake that signal lasted for an unusual time of 12 minutes and as there was no report from any part of the world about the damage due to earthquake I suspected that sea water may rise to a great height. That is why I requested the local T.V.stations to issue the alert message to be ready to move away from breaches. They have not only ignored my warning but the meteorological department criticized me as my invention is like the Ramar pillai invention ( The fraudulent herbal petrol inventor).

Are these just dreams?I live in Tampa area. About 7 years ago i had a strange dream. I was in my parents back yard and looked towards the southeast and saw a mushroom cloud. I knew in my dream it was Miami. Was scary dream and even though miami is about 7 hours drive , there was rocks falling on my head. Move forward. About 5-6 months before Tsunami’s i had dreams of giant wave coming towards gulf coast of florida. Never thought about dream until Tsumani happend. Move forward. About 6 weeks before Katrina had another dream of a big wave but seemed to be caused by storm. Now i remembered 1st dream about three weeks ago when i had another one where i was high above a stadium looking down at it. 3 objects went down into the stadium and saw a big blast. In my dream i knew that the stadium was in Miami. The next thing is i was standing on ledge of a building and that building and all of the other buildings started falling but not like the WTC but like cig ashes. Is this just a dream

Is it really that hard to believe? Me and my mother have this awkward "gift" and we often dream of a certain natural disaster that many times ends up happening. For example, exactly 7 days before the big tsunami in 2004 I dreamed of a tsunami and even told my parents and one week later it shows up in the news.

Studies show that many animals can sense an earthquake or other natural disasters days before they happen. Could it be that some humans might also have this sensitivity and can only demonstrate it through their subconscious?

Would you rather be a suvivor of war? would your chances of recieving immediate aid from anyone be any greater than those who survived a natural disaster ie.; a hurricane, earthquake, flood, tornado, tsunami, typhoon,or massive land fires from a forest fire or volcanoe, or an avalanche, mud slide?

I think this is how Tsunami was made. Loosen the earths core and leave loose gaps that will cause disaster ( not natural disaster) like land slide and so forth.I dont need oil if oil wasnt produced. why not just use recycled oil. There should be law about recycling oil then maybe there wont be so much digging for Black Gunt.

Does anyone even care? I mean with the fast paced life we live in…..Does anyone even realize what "we" are doing to Mother Earth? I wonder………well, the Ice (polar cap) is melting at an
abnormal rate than it should. The Oceans are rising, The Volcanos are acting up, Tsunami’s are wiping out not one but several "Countrys" at a time! and the Thousands of lives taken?
Tornadoes in California? Earthquakes at their deadliest! really hot summers and freezing winters! The sting on my skin from the sun indicates lesser protection from our Ozone…….Sound like nonsense? Global Warming! is the reason I feel. So now what should "we" do to stop the distruction before it’s to late?

The role of engineering in disaster relief
We’ve seen war and famine in Africa, the Indian Ocean tsunami, the earthquake in Kashmir … So what are the key areas where engineers contribute to the relief operations in the short and the long term? What criteria should be applied in deciding the level and type of help? Are there ethical issues to be faced? How can UK engineers get involved?

There was a Hokkaido earthquake around 11:20 p.m. Japan time on July 16 — earlier in the day, there was one in Niigata which was quite destructive. Was the Hokkaido earthquake related to that, or pretty much a seperate event?

Also, where does one go on the internet to find news about very recent earthquakes in Japan? I know the TV stations broadcast info about earthquakes and tsunami, but if I miss the announcement, I’ve been having a hard time finding the right words to put in the search engine. Japanese sites are OK.

BTW, I tried USGS, but they didn’t have it right away.
Try the USGS, Mr. Man. They have a world map that shows some of the recent strong earthquakes. It looks like there have been a lot this year — but mostly around the Pacific Plate, only a few scattered in other areas. However, it looks like they don’t show *all* the earthquakes. They ask people to report earthquakes not shown on the map. Good luck!

JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) — A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4 struck off the southwestern coast of Sumatra Friday in the same area shaken by a major 8.4-magnitude temblor that killed 13 people earlier in the week.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially issued an alert but lifted it later after no problems were reported.

The quake struck at 6:01 a.m. (2300 GMT Thursday), 120 km (75 miles) west-southwest of Sumatra’s Bengkulu province and 650 km (405 miles) west-northwest of Jakarta.
