1182359 2011-03-06 04:34:00 Then again, some people may have some but not all the evidence and are therefore drawing the wrong conclusions. Snorkbox (15764)
1182360 2011-03-06 04:37:00 The acid test is all about correlation.

We know that the Chinese are awfully fiendishly cunning and clever, the Goons told us so ........."Heh heh heh. Cunning people, the fiendish Chinese, you never know which whey they're going to go".

That having been proved, consider that they studied astronomy for thousands of years before the arabs,
en.wikipedia.org
and that they also studied earthquakes for yonks and yonks, and built seismoscopes as far back as AD132.

They were also sailors and navigators of the highest degree from way back so knew all about tides.

So if anyone would be able to correlate earthquakes with astronomical and tidal data it would have been the Chinese, with their continuous history, hundreds if not thousands of years ago.

1182361 2011-03-06 05:29:00 If it makes you feel happy.
Not so long ago they discovered something they hadn't known about before ( I tried to find the article) so what makes you think there won't be others.

Honestly do you have ANY idea what is needed to calculate a space crafts trajectory?

The evidence that Ken Ring is wrong and there is no "mystical forces" is right in front of your nose, all that is required is turning on your brain and apply logic!

Don't quite know why your are bringing in this straw man.

Somewhat flawed reasoning Terry, not like you at all. The list of things the Chinese didn't discover far surpasses that which they did. Further, their ability to monitor the entire surface of the planet, or to correlate events in time outside of their area of inhabitation (apart from astronomical observations) was rather less comprehensive than the capabilities we enjoy today, or might enjoy tomorrow.

There is no valid nexus between your proposition and any possible correlation between the influence of the moon on our planet. That it does physically induce 'earth tides' is an established fact, as is its influence on volcanic activity, though the evidence for that may be sparse at present.

For me it takes no great leap of faith to accept that geological formations that are under enormous stress and about to rupture may be influenced to some degree by 'earth tide' stress. It might be a very rare occurrence, as it appears to be for volcanic activity, but it would be a brave man who said it couldn't ever happen. Geological time is somewhat more patient than man's timekeeping, or his attention span.

I don't think anybody can safely state a categorical yes or no, in fact we would be foolish to do so. I prefer to simply acknowledge the possibility and keep an open mind. The answer might not be known for several lifetimes, if at all, but the acceleration of science and technology does suggest that the inhabitants of this planet will not have to wait quite as long as the Chinese have to find the answer, one way or the other.

You don't understand gravity has a effect on space craft calculations?

Ok I can dumb this down further

You = Mass
Tectonic Plates = Mass

Do you nutty believers feel heavier when these lunar events Ken Ring goes on about occur, do you like wobble and fall over? ROTFL. There is well known tiny subtle gravitation differences so in this Ken Ring is correct, but he uses proven science in combination with "easily" proven wrong wild cookoo thinking.

Turn on brain = oh yea Ken Ring is full of cra**, but dam he knows how to deflect criticism, he is a great tap dancer, but most con artists usually are.

Maybe you would like to give your explanation as to why the Earth experiences the different seasons?

Just Summer and Winter will be fine for starters.
