Modern Day Delusions of Technology

Yeah sounds totally bogus, we've got nothing on mother nature except for maybe global warming which we don't totally have the expertise to discern exactly where we stop and she takes over with that.

What the government (or at lea$t the power$ that in varying degree$ control government i$ able to do i$ to have plan$ in place to take advantage of cri$i$ when it doe$ happen. If you catch my drift. Read "The Shock Doctrine" if you want to know how evil that i$. Even if you figure that Naomi Cline is an extremist and negate half of what she says it is still a frightening scenario.

I'm giving you a GA because so far your's is the only response that addresses the OP's one question "How can technology help such situations all around the world?"

I just wish this technology existed.

I wonder if things like nuclear tests in the oceans could cause underwater slides and maybe even earthquakes. I think they would be very small compared to plate movements. A dam breaking and a flood resulting would be the next best thing I could think of. But I'm not sure you would call that a "natural disaster".

I recall Michael Crichton's "State of Fear" novel in which the villains are trying to cause an underwater slide to create a tsunami. They also direct lightning to hit someone. That was a great read.

But it is true that both the US and Russia are bombarding the atmosphere with energy waves because the want to see what happens. In reality, they really don't know what they are doing and how it affects the weather.

Tesla reportedly shook a very large area one day with somthing in his garage/shop. Before you dismiss tesla's stuff,remember, he did invent what comes out of the electrical sockets in most peoples homes.

I am not sure if that was one of the ideas given to him by the aliens he spoke about,though.

Mythbusters tried to duplicate this resonance frequency phenomenom, and was able to shake a huge steel bridge to the point they decided they'de better stop, with a little gadget that weighed about 5 lbs.

I have no doubt that the HAARP in alaska could, if tuned to the right pulsed frequency, cause a resonant frequency vibration causing an earthquake. Now, i doubt they could predict exactly where or how big an earthquake, but i bet that haarp project could cause problems somewhere.

That, or one of these supercolider things being built. Some things probably werent meant to collide at the speed of light.

Problem is, when we figure out what NOT to feed a collider, it will be kinda late.

Tesla reportedly shook a very large area one day with somthing in his garage/shop.

This (using a device fixed to the buildings supports to cause the building to resonate at the correct resonant frequency) was thoroughly tested and dis-proven on the TV program Mythbusters (and they did build a massive resonant device and really tried to take down a bridge with no destructive success).

For all the good he did he was also a scam artist so you shouldn't believe everything you read.

Enough said about that the better.

Great, now the post I was replying to has been edited (quick edit).

Mythbusters are not perfect (no one ever expected them to be) but they strike a good balance between entertainment and teaching engineering and science to people as well as reminding people that these fields are just plain interesting and cool.

I have watched many an episode where they "proved" a fact that I know from personal experience to be a load of diaper filling.

True, but it is also true they do get a LOT of mail and website hits from many people actively saying the same thing or offering up alternative points of view or tests (which they do under myth revisited episodes). Its all about the engaging of the public mind, this in itself shows to me that the program is worth while, that and "Zog" clearly disproving over unity and MPG vehicle devices in a way that the average "Joe" can understand and try himself.

Agreed.

Unfortunately the average Joe doesn't know the difference between hard and fluff science and if they happen to miss the episode where the 'Busters correct themselves you wind up with one more yarbo out there screaming "The world is flat! Don't fall of the edge!" This effect is only amplified when folks who work with hard science start using the fluffy stuff to back their statements and so I feel compelled to rail against any use of Mythbustering as an argument to prove (or disprove) a theory.

In so much as they do encourage the developement of curiosity amongst a largely incurious population I am grateful for the work they do, I just wish their program was on E! or some other 'fluff by design' channel...

I haven't seen them lately.......I did like watch more so because I think I was waiting for an accident to happen.

On the Woodwright shop about 10-15 years ago. The guy cut his hand, they went to a commercial, when they came back, it was all bound up and blood was seeping through the bandages........reminded me of a SNL sketch about Julia Childs when she cut her hand.

I keep watching. then on another episode the host showed a huge wooded screw atleast 12" in diameter and 7-8 feet tall. He stated this was used to make apple cider and gave it a firm pat. and walked up to the camera....well, he didn't realize behind him, that his firm pat got the big piece of wood swinging like a bowling pin trying to drop......fortunate for him it settled.

Was that the one with the mechanical walkers on a bridge?

No it was in episode 60 "Earthquake machine".

it was not disproved... they just failed to accomplish everything tesla did.

they did get some astounding results, and then quit, and minimized the results.

just remember the tacoma narrows bridge.. that also was resonant frequency damage.

Yes we don't want to be too free with some informations do we...

I think HAARP is quite beyond your pay grade

Look at it this way. Conspiracy theorists are delusional, lunatic losers by nature.
