Earth's Core

[Rand45]

So recently I heard a few loud noises in the sky and could not find what was making the sound it wasn't a plane I didn't see contrails. So I did what you guys said to do and I found this article about the Earths Core moving and causing sounds
http://www.earth-issues.com/tag/skyquakes/
Is this happening? Also look at the mentioned article

So recently I heard a few loud noises in the sky and could not find what was making the sound. it wasn't a plane I didn't see contrails.

No contrails = no airplane is not established fact but opinion based on ?

So I did what you guys said to do and I found this article about the Earths Core moving and causing sounds.

No one here "told you" to find a woo site to explain every noise for which there is not an "instant" explanation.

The linked site "boasts" powered by 100% wind power, and my first thought...yeah...powered by hot air.

Is this happening?

No...no evidence for such a thing...

Also look at the mentioned article...

No thanks, I assume it's the same as your first link....more antiscience type "junk".

[Rand45]

No I meant "so I did what you guys told me to do research." Is what I meant sorry I'm on my Ipod. And the evidence is the strange loud noises throughout the world.

[R.A.F.]

No I meant "so I did what you guys told me to do research."

Did you research other, mundane, explanations?

...the evidence is the strange loud noises throughout the world.

Evidence of what?? if it's evidence of Earth core changes (ECC for short ), then just how does one relate to the other?

There are quite a few steps between loud noise, and that noise being caused by ECC.

The videos are hoaxes. The sound has been identified as the sound the aliens make in War of the Worlds Tom Cruise edition.

[Swift]

Both sites are complete and utter nonsense. We've had other "expanding Earth" threads in ATM (and maybe CT). There is zero evidence of such a thing, and given that GPS systems can measure the slight contractions and expansions as a volcano's magma supply fills and drains, the expansion of the Earth would be an easy measurement.

By the by, "doing research", for your own sake, should be a little more than typing "weird noises" into Google and looking at the first link that comes up. Stick to legit science websites, unless your goal is to just scare yourself even more.

If you are going to crack jokes, throw in a smilie, because otherwise, you're not helping.

[Grashtel]

And have you looked into the many mundane possibilities? For example a helicopter or other low flying aircraft (contrails only form at high altitudes so the absence of one doesn't imply that there wasn't an aircraft, particularly as helicopters (which are rather noisy) rarely if every fly high enough to produce them)?

I assumed Rand45 was referring to the videos about strange sounds throughout the world and that is what I was addressing. The SGU covered the hoax videos in their latest episode: http://media.libsyn.com/media/skepti...2012-01-28.mp3

OK that was step one. Now did you do the other bit of what we suggested? Remember the link to critical assessment of a source I posted? That is right - we suggested you stop believing everything on the internet at first glance and did a little bit of filtering. Did you assess the credibility of those sites? And what did you conclude about them if you did?

It was on the Internet. It must be true!

Sigh. I do miss the Weekly World News.

Thank you for the clarification.

[NEOWatcher]

So recently I heard a few loud noises in the sky...

What kind of sound? Describe it.

...this article about the Earths Core moving and causing sounds

So; Movement of the earth that produces sound in the atmosphere, but no effects on the surface of the earth.
Yet; we have no sound in the atmosphere from earthquakes which would be minor in comparison of Earths core moving.
It doesn't make sense.

...Is this happening? Also look at the mentioned article
http://beforeitsnews.com/story/598/8...f_control.html

They have the dinosaur thing backwards. A smaller earth (assuming no mass change) would have a larger gravity.

If the continents moved by inflation, then why didn't they move in relation to each other?
If I draw two dots on a balloon next to each other, they will be farther apart when it's inflated. They will not end up on opposite sides of the balloon. The distance apart will still be proportional to the size of the balloon.

At that point I found no reason to read any further.

Don't trust a site that prints anything by user contributions. Some have controls in place that help avoid the garbage, but this one is obviously a site that will print any contributions. It might as well be youtube.

pretty much destroys any references I could make towards this discussion since most of the news i've seen come from said sites.

I just wish i knew what was causing these sounds so that people might calm down like myself, i've heard solar flares, now the earths core, what is doing it?

[Strange]

There are various possible explanations here:
Mistpouffers
Unexplained boom

[NEOWatcher]

pretty much destroys any references I could make towards this discussion since most of the news i've seen come from said sites.

Like I said, It depends on how well monitored the site is. I'm not saying they are all bad. I've seen some sites use the contributions as personal views on easily verifyable current events.
But; I even have issues with CNN's iReport.

[Swift]

Are you trying to say that every Joe with a camera in his phone and some vague knowledge of how to transfer the video to the Internet is not of the same standards as a video crew lead by a trained journalist with an actual degree in journalism and at least a vague sense of style, technique, and journalistic methods (not to mention an editor, producer, and network they are accountable to)!?!

That sounds like a conspiracy theory to me!

[Tenshu]

i'll say this at least, if it's just a random noise then it doesn't bother me...only the "Trumpet" claims do.

Also I understand this has been going on since March of 09, yet people are just now looking into it which i find strange.

[NEOWatcher]

Also I understand this has been going on since March of 09, yet people are just now looking into it which i find strange.

It could be one of those things that someone "mentioned" in 09, but has been slowly being picked up by others until the controversy brewed.
It could have been a noise long before 09, but something like that could just be ignored until someone is made aware of it.
In the manner of "You know? now that you mention it...".

It happens to me every time I buy a new car. I almost never see any on the road, then I buy a car, and suddenly it seems like everyone has one.

[Rand45]

But how do we know nothing is going on inside our Earths core at the moment

[Shaula]

Because I read a site somewhere on the internet that said nothing was happening. Got to be true.

[NEOWatcher]

But how do we know nothing is going on inside our Earths core at the moment

If it affected the atmosphere, then it would have to affect the crust.
It would show up as seismic activity with the epicenter well below the crust. I've never heard of an earthquake that deep.

[Strange]

But how do we know nothing is going on inside our Earths core at the moment

Things like this: http://www.iris.edu/hq/programs/gsn
And this: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/
And this: http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/en/Activities/earthquake.html

Believe me, the Japanese care about earthquakes. A lot. If there was something going on, we would know.

[Tenshu]

I do feel abit better after talking with you all about it, keeping it locked up inside hurts. Still just don't like the claims of "trumpets" and that is it.

I remember one time listening to a live band play from my house, the music was so clear it sounded like it must of been close by. So I decided to walk and try to find out where that band was playing. After about 3 miles, an hour later i called my wife to come pick me up, i had lost the trail of the music and didn't feel like that long walk home.

Next day i tracked down the music, it was Downtown from ous, about 4.5 milles as the crow flies. One i got out of the hills we live at i couldn't hear the music. But for some reason the music shot over our hill, and curved down the other side of it focused enough that it sounded like the band was right there. Only a really stiff breeze would change the effect.

I found out later this is somethign called Sound Wave Interference. What was happening, is the sound was splitting around the top of our hill, where there arn't many houses, and was re-merging on the other side. The sound waves while very weak, were interfereing with each other construtively, making it amplify to the point almost of the origianl source volume, even though that was almost five miles distance.

So just because you hear a sound and think it's close, doesn't mean it might be.

NeoWatcher already raised this, but this statement:

The expanding Earthers argue that none of the large dinosaurs could have existed on today's world. Earth's gravity is too high now for the larger dinosaurs to have survived. Their weight and mass was adapted to a planet one-third its current size with a gravity field less than half of today's.

...shows such a remarkable lack of understanding of physics (and dinosaurs for that matter) that it is impossible to take anything else seriously, even if comments about "another step towards Doomsday" haven't already done so. Even if the critics do have no answer to these 'argumements', I suggest that is because they have far better things to do with their time than respond to such garbage.

By the way - I live in Australia and am quite curious about the "back to back superstorms" that we apparently suffered here in 2010. Somehow I managed to miss those....

Well in the video that was linked in the first article it didn't sound like a plane or anything natural the link provided. Was "Harmonics Over Czech republic" Watch the video and tell me what it is it sure doesn't sound like any machinery or aircraft.

[Rand45]

And how do we know Earths inner core is not melting. How do we know it's not causing these "skyquakes"?

[Chew]

And how do we know Earths inner core is not melting.

The Earth's core has never been solid; the core has always been molten. Which is a good thing because the core produces the Earth's magnetic field which protects us from cosmic rays.

How do we know it's not causing these "skyquakes"?

Because we would see them on the seismometers we use to measure earthquakes.

Tell me why I should assume the video is authentic and how I can be sure that someone didn't just film random outdoor video and then add weird sounds later.
