Earthquake Alters Earths Axis and Shortens Days

MSNBC reports a story titled Chile Earthquake May Have Shortened Days. Apparently the Chile 8.8 earthquake last week (one of the worst in recorded history) may have altered the Earths “figure axis” by about 3 inches and actually shortened Earth days by about 1.26 microseconds (millionths of a second).


The News anchor on T.V. announced it like this: “The earthquake in Chile literally sent the Earth for a loop, turning it on its axis and altering the length of a day forever!” – very dramatic.

I never realized that an earthquake had such an ability and it made me – sitting comfortably here in Windsor Ontario – think about the end of the world. North Americans are obsessed with the “End Times”, but in reality, I don’t think I want to be around for it. Frankly speaking, I’d rather come back with the Lord then be here if all hell breaks loose.

What are your thoughts about this?

    I personally hope we are living in the End Times! What an ugly world it will be in 50 years time!
