About this tag
The geophysics tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Earth's core, planetary rotation, and seismic events. Topics include the impact of earthquakes on Earth's day length and axis shift, as well as the challenges of earthquake prediction. Threads reference NASA calculations and seismologist accountability, drawing from real-world events like the 2011 Japan earthquake and the L'Aquila quake in Italy. While the forum is primarily Windows-focused, these threads explore geophysical phenomena without direct ties to computing or technology.

    Seismologists face manslaughter charges for not predicting quake

    I happen to live in something of an earthquake zone and it seems that these things do happen quite randomly, such as when you're sitting at home watching TV. However, some in Italy feel that it's about time seismologists were held responsible for their supposed ability to recognize when a...
