Strange animal behavior before earthquakes and the so-called earthquake lights seen in conjunction
with earthquakes was relegated to the pseudo-sciences (they were not observed using scientifically
trained observers nor were rigorous scientific methods utilized) and were not seriously investigated
by the academics who made their livings in the geologic sciences.
You know, its strange... I was watching this program yesterday on the science channel about the Oracle of the Delphi, and they said that perhaps the most probbable reason why the Oracle's power declined was an earthquake. Anyways to the point, although the change in animal behavior was never scientiffically investigated, there have been numerous occasions where it has been documented throughout the history of earthquakes (like the one that happenned in Greece before the fall of the oracle). Numerous scources told a story of all rats and snakes leaving the town of Delphi, dogs going crazy and biting through the ropes only to never be seen again, lights in the sky, and sounds of wind in the middle of the knight without a breeze. Researchers couldnt explain the fenomena and thus didnt believe that it happened. It wasnt untill recently that they could explain it. The earthquake shook up greece once again recently, and once again there were rats running across the road, dogs and cats going crazy, lights in the sky and sound in the standstill air...

Sorry guys i have to run, ill try to continue this when i come back today, hopefully...

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
