Re: How powerful? By some estimates, it was equal to detonating a million atomic bombs. You still don't get it: the kinetic energy of an underwater earthquake is never, NEVER transmitted TOTALLY to the water mass above!! Can't you understand THAT??? A million of nuclear bombs? Okay: all that energy was conveyed WITHOUT LOSS up to the shores of Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka --that's how you understand it, right? But then, tell me: how come all the beach resorts were not just VAPORIZED completely and utterly by such a gigantic amount of energy? LOL.... Let me explain it to you again --and be grateful I'll spare you the thermodynamics formulae.... Only a FRACTION --you do understand what a fraction is, at least???-- of an underwater earthquake OR EXPLOSION will go all the way up into the water mass and then propagate as a shockwave. Now my theory is that the Sumatra tsunami was triggered by the synchronized explosion of several ANWSs whose energetic brunt was directed UPWARD... But, since NO energy system is perfect, part of the blasts' energy was lost into the oceanic floor --hence the measured 6.4 earthquake. You missed another didactic example of mine: Message 20899287 Indeed, when Floridians' cars and trucks are litterally blown away by a powerful hurricane, what does it mean? A hurricane too is as powerful as several thousands nuclear bombs --you know that too, don't you? Yet not ALL of the hurricane's energy is ever transmitted to a "flying truck"!!! Not all of the hurricane's energy is ever transformed into kinetic energy subsequently transmitted to flying objects... because such an amount of energy would be enough to DISINTEGRATE them!! Gus
