 User ID: 1515155 United States08/22/2011 12:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Piezoelectricity is the charge which accumulates in certain solid materials (notably crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA and various proteins) in response to applied mechanical stress. The word piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure. It is derived from the Greek piezo or piezein, which means to squeeze or press, and electric or electron, which stands for amber, an ancient source of electric charge. Piezoelectricity is the direct result of the piezoelectric effect. [link to en.wikipedia.org] Various places on Earth have more of this potential than others; you dear poster are near a high potential of energy that may discharge locally into the atmospere displaying vertical rainbows. Maybe a precursor of Earth movements along a fault line. Last Edited by a student of Protean thought on 08/22/2011 12:02 PM |

I've been here for over a year and a half...never heard this before here or anywhere else except in the museum situation I explained earlier. Thanks for the info though. |

User ID: 1383040 United States08/22/2011 12:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Did anyone else read or hear that the electromagnetic field from ELEnin reached earth on Aug. 19? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1011969 I didn't read that. Perhaps related. Don't fall for that crap, Elenin is a comet, it does not have a magnetic field... So how are the gangs in Chico? Getting worse or thinning out? I lived in Redding for about 9 years, left in 07, but had some friends over there in Chico. I love physics. It bonds us eternally, it's what makes our computers work, it's what's in my morning cup of coffee, it's the thing that keeps the universe from vanishing due to lack of belief... |

Butte County S.O. got down on em quite a bit in the past year. Starting to break up I'd say. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1485080 United States08/22/2011 05:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Stab In The Dark: Electromagnetic Precursors before an Earthquake? (older 2007 article): [link to www.wired.com] "SAN FRANCISCO –- Scientists revealed data Thursday that an electromagnetic alarm might have preceded a 2007 earthquake in Northern California. The evidence could offer support to a controversial theory that mysterious and little-understood signals might offer fair warning for imminent catastrophic earthquakes." Maybe ELQ can shed more light on whether or not this is related. |

I wouldn't be suprised to see it go... |
