    Chile Earthquake, Axis shift

    So I wasnt on Earth last week, when I got back I saw the news about the quake in Chile and the effect of our axis being shifted. Apparently this is not the first, nor likely the last time this will happen.

    1.5 milliseconds isnt much, unless you veiw time like I do, but never the less....

    any thoughts on our impending doom of being axis shifted into a reverse timeline?

    it's microseconds isn't it?

    so, yeah, 1 millionth of a second is not exactly noticable.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Well, I for one am highly concerned about this. How am I going to make up for that lost microsecond?

    Wait, you mean we're gonna relive the past? So, this time, porn is my doom, not my bad past decision?

    Awesome!

    Whenever there is a strong seismic event, there is the possibility of an axis "shift".
    It MAY have been 1.26 microseconds..
    This is very common and happens all the time, The magnitude 9.1 Sumatran in 2004 that generated an Indian Ocean tsunami shortened the day by 6.8 microseconds and shifted the axis by about 2.3 milliarcseconds.
    Again, this is normal and happens pretty much everytime there is a strong earthquake/seismic event.
    So the POSSIBLE shift in the day was shorter by 1.26 microseconds (millionths of a second)

    If we lost time, how do we know? Where did it go?
