Gus > the truth on the nuclear tsunami seeps across the blogosphere... you'll be the only party-pooper left
Sorry, ol' man, it's just that I can't get the nuke idea to fit with what happened. And it's not because I don't think the US was capable of trying it. It's that there isn't any evidence for it. Evidence, that's it. Show me one bit of proper evidence that a nuclear explosion happened on 26/12/04.
(a) Look at all the stations which detected earthquakes in the Sumatra/Nicobar/Andaman region on seismograms on 26/12 yet none reported a nuclear explosion. Why? Because they were all in collusion with the US' nefarious plans? Anyone who believes that is believing pure crap.

(b) To my knowledge, no-one dected any increase in radioactivity in the Sumatra/Nicobar/Andaman region. So, therefore I can't put up a link for something that doesn't exist. But, no radioactivity means no atom bomb.
(c) Look at all the serious earthquakes which have occurred in the Sumatra/Nicobar/Andaman region in the past 7-8 days alone. Why is it that only the "big one", on December 04, attracts the attention of conspiracy theorists?

(d) Q: Can nuclear explosions cause earthquakes?

And it's clear you didn't even read your own link properly.
(i) >>... rate of earthquake occurrence in northern California (magnitude 3.5 and larger) and the known times of the six largest thermonuclear tests (1965-1969) were plotted and it was obvious that no peaks in the seismicity occur at the times of the explosions. This is in agreement with theoretical calculations that transient strain from underground thermonuclear explosions is not sufficiently large to trigger fault rupture at distances beyond a few tens of kilometers from the shot point.<<
On 26/12/04, the fault line extended for hundreds of km, possibly thousands.
(ii) >>The elastic strains induced in the epicentral region by the passage of the seismic wavefield generated by the largest of the nuclear tests, the May 11 Indian test with an estimated yield of 40 kilotons, is about 100 times smaller than the strains induced by the Earth's semi-diurnal (12 hour) tides that are produced by the gravitational fields of the Moon and the Sun. If small nuclear tests could trigger an earthquake at a distance of 1000 km, equivalent-sized earthquakes, which occur globally at a rate of several per day, would also be expected to trigger earthquakes. No such triggering has been observed. Thus there is no evidence of a causal connection between the nuclear testing and the large earthquake in Afghanistan and it is pure coincidence that they occurred near in time and location.<<
(iii) >>The largest underground thermonuclear tests conducted by the US were detonated in Amchitka at the western end of the Aleutian Islands and the largest of these was the 5 megaton codename Cannikin test which occurred on November 6, 1971. Cannikin had a body wave magnitude of 6.9 and it did not trigger any earthquakes in the seismically active Aleutian Islands.<<
Gus, frankly, I think it's time to come back into the real world -- if you can. |
