7.0M. 86km ENE of Tadine, New Caledonia 2017-11-19 at 22:43 (UTC)
Too tired to look properly Tadine is about 100 degrees from the Mexican super-quake. Boy the CIA are going to have to make some serious compensation for that when we prove they can do it.

There is a way of finding exact distances from one place to another in degrees or linear measure but I am not very good at navigation so I just look it up online:
"Mexican Super-quake" = Three Peaks, Mexico about 16N 93W.

At least 32 people have been killed after a magnitude-8.1 earthquake struck Mexico, causing a tsunami and warnings for countries across Central America.
The Governor of the Mexican state of Chiapas announced the first fatalities following the most powerful quake to hit the country since 1985, striking 119km south-south-west of Tres Picos.

Damn the Internet for losing connections, if I was a religious man I would say that god is striking javascript because it is favoured by perverts. I wonder if Linux has done any work on Earthwind from Nasa to reduce dependence on that crap. Apparently nobody thinks there is a problem.

Must be just me.

It was so long since I started writing this that I forgot the idea I had:
Recent heavy drizzle arrived because of the Mag 7, above. The warmth was the first thing I noticed, some time about midnight.  I went for a walk and got wet.

A first for ages.

The problem with Newtonian Mechanics is Mercury but the problem with relativity is Venus. Venus is the nearest star to mercury and it runs in a perfect circle.

Abstract

Insofar as slip in an earthquake is related to the strain accumulated near a fault since a previous earthquake, and this process repeats many times, the earthquake cycle approximates an autonomous oscillator. Its asymmetric slow accumulation of strain and rapid release is quite unlike the harmonic motion of a pendulum

[or not as is more likely] and need not be time predictable, but still resembles a class of repeating systems known as integrate-and-fire oscillators, whose behaviour has been shown to demonstrate a remarkable ability to synchronize to either external or self-organized forcing.

Given sufficient time and even very weak physical coupling, the phases of sets of such oscillators, with similar though not necessarily identical period, approach each other.

Topological and time series analyses presented here demonstrate that earthquakes worldwide show evidence of such synchronization. Though numerous studies demonstrate that the composite temporal distribution of major earthquakes in the instrumental record is indistinguishable from random, the additional consideration of event renewal interval serves to identify earthquake groupings suggestive of synchronization that are absent in synthetic catalogues.

[Good grief who trains these imbeciles?]

We envisage the weak forces responsible for clustering originate from lithospheric strain induced by seismicity itself, by finite strains over tele-seismic distances, or by other sources of lithospheric loading such as Earth's variable rotation. [In other words, they don't have a clue.]

For example, quasi-periodic maxima in rotational deceleration are accompanied by increased global seismicity at multi-decadal intervals.

Plain Language Summary

Large earthquakes appear to synchronize globally, in the sense that they are organized in time according to their renewal properties, and occur in groups in response to very low stress interactions.

It is called teleconnection and it will cost you $38 to find out where they go wrong (I'd pay $40 not to have to.) Or you can read it for free where I get it right with the aid of Jehovah, here on Blogger (plus a Twitter feed for fast forwarding through it.)
