Ito 2438 Posted March 19, 2011 Well fuck. All the Wisconsin Universities are forcing their students to head home early. I have 3 friends that are being told to come home, 2 that have been there since August and once that has only been there for around 2 months. They are losing out on this entire semester now and the whole situation is really fucking them over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandabear 414 Posted April 1, 2011 This is why we need to invest in earthquake technology. I don't remember what it was called but some awesome dudes invented a device that's placed on major fault lines and it measures the amount of distance each plate moves. The distance is calculated into a formula and it'll give you a rough estimate of when the plates will give way and the areas that will be affected. Supposedly it predicated the Haiti earthquake. The tech still needs to be further developed since it can only predict the year the quake will happen and not the month or day. Plus it can only placed on major fault lines. There's also the fact that it needs to be developed so that it can be placed deep under the ocean where most fault lines lie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
