It's the preliminary result of studies carried out by INGV
. IMPACT - The impact of this event on the axis of rotation, said INGV, was also much greater than that of the great Sumatra earthquake of 2004, which was 7 cm of linear and two thousandths of an arcsecond angle, and probably second only to Chile earthquake of 1960.

Centimeter or inches...?

[irishspirit]

In so far as I can see, the are saying CM.

(CNN) -- The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.

"At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass," said Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Reports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 4 inches (10 centimeters).

The Earth's axis apparently shifted 10 cm on a mag9 EQ; let us be conservative here and assume that a mag7 can deliver the same. There's two years to March 11, 2013 ... the world is scheduled to end by Dec. 22 2012 according to the cataclysmic pole-shifters, the Nibiru new-age gurus, and all bearded men with End-of-Times signs (and an overbearing obligation to save the world by predicting its destruction from Sun up to Sun down) ... so let's say that teher's about (2x365)-80= 650 days to the end of the Mayan Calendar. Now assume that there will be one mag7 EQ a day that will displace the Earth's axis by 10 cm until the day of reckoning. 650 EQs of mag.7 of the 10cm displacing variety! But let's play it safe ... let's assume that ten times that many such EQs will occur (e.g. 6500 Eqs) and round off to 10,000EQs. But that leads to a cumulative displacement of 100,000cm or 1000 meters, e.g. 1 kilometer.

Question begs: what were the pole-shifters thinking when many stated that the North Pole and South pole will exchange places as a result of a massive cosmic event? Surely, that would require a displacement on the order of 1000's of kilometeres?? One kilometer on 10,000 mag7 EQs with a built-in safety factor of ten? Something is amiss here.

Remember, all this with mag7 EQ. If we bump up to mag9 EQ (that created the 10cm shift) the numbers become even more ridiculous. Yes, I do know that objects with elliptical orbits speed up near the respective focii, and this could create a rapid pole shift in theory. But it should be noted that the big computers have determined Nibiru/PlanetX's orbit to be highly eccentric, e.g. extremely oval, with ecc. above 0.9. But such an orbit is not compatible with a massive object the size of Nibiru (e.g. the size required to influence a pole shift in teh first place). Here's an excellent analysis by a poster namerd DDD at another forum:

Hi

lilyblack, Im not sure where you came across the idea that i thought Planet x was a once off. All iv'e said so far is the logical reasons why it doesn't exist at all. From what I've learned, this is a planet - it has supposedly been seen in the past, so it's obvious from both of those points that it is in orbit around our sun.
But there are things wrong with that
1) This orbit is so elliptical that at perihelion (closest approach to the sun) Planet x cruises through the inner solar system. Once you consider such a long period orbit (3600 yrs) this orbit becomes so elliptic that it is practically a straight line, which is impossible. Comets and such can only do this because they have trillions apon trillions of times less mass.
2) This planet is BIG. I mean Jupiter is big, it has more mass than the entire solar system (planets) put together. But Nibiru is BIG. A big planet like that cannot move in the long period orbit. Escape velocity from the sun drops with the distance you travel from it. Nibiru ventures so far away from the sun that it's (sun's) gravity is unable to infuence the planet enough to pull it back again. Nibiru has too much mass, and therefore too much inertia, to be influenced by the sun at the apogee (furthest point) of its orbit. So tata Nibiru.
3) Nibiru's orbital period and our understanding that our solar system is over 4 000 000 000 yrs old (proven in many ways I might add - sorry if you're religious) tells us that it has approached the sun over a MILLION times. A planet with that much mass passing nearby will do much more than make floods and cause an ice age or three. It's gravity field is massive, a near pass would end life on earth. We'd ether be pulled into an exentric orbit which wouldnt create ice ages because the temeratures would be boiling one part of the year, and freezing on the other end of our newfound orbit. But most likely we, and venus and mars, would have been flung out of the solar system altogether long ago. If such a planet approached us EVEN ONCE, it would very likely be the end of life on earth.
The scientific world community is laughing at this Nibiru theory. They will laugh the hardest in 2012. But we don't have to wait that long, If Nibiru existed it would become plainly obvious well before 2012.
Hope that doesn't make you feel bad either.
But it's just not going to happen. So what if the sun lines up with the galactic centre occasionally, it mean diddly squat. Its aligned is all.

end

In short, a massive orbit like Nibiru cannot have an orbit with high eccentricity; but only a highly eccentric orbit of a massive object can deliver such a catastrophic pole shift. Now, Japan's earthquake could've occurred
naturally with neither cosmic influence or HAARP influence. But if it did not occur naturally, then we can all but rule out cosmic influence ... for a pole shift created by a low-eccentric orbiter of massive size would be gradual not catastrophic ... and there are not enough days between now and the end of the Mayan Calendar to accommodate anything more than a one-kilometer circumferential arc displacement of the Earth's axis. How closely the Earth's physical axis approximates its magnetic axis should not have much bearing (if we assume that the liquid iron core shifting is what initiates the physical axis shifting in the first place).

Humble opinions; always reserve the right to be proven wrong.

Dr Daniel McNamara, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey reported that the main island of Japan has been shifted 2.4 meters and opened up gigantic ruptures in the sea floor.

Could An Earthquake-Driven Nuclear Meltdown Happen in America?


Officials at Japan's Fukushima Daichi nuclear power plant are doing all they can to prevent the cores of two different reactors from melting down after a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake that hit in the Pacific Ocean on Friday. The temblor spawned a tsunami that reached three miles inland in Japan, wiping out nearly everything in its path and setting off an explosion at the structure housing the Unit 1 reactor.

The damage shut down the cooling system that keeps the core of the reactor from heating up and melting itself. The second reactor faces potentially the same fate, while a third reactor at the site has not been as badly damaged.

While the enormous damage may seem a once in a lifetime scenario -- the quake reportedly caused a rupture 186 miles long and 93 miles wide in the sea floor and shifted the island of Japan 10 feet -- a trifecta of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown in the U.S. remains a possibility.

"Could this happen in the United States? Yes, this could happen in the United States," Joe Cirincione, a nuclear power expert with a long resume in Washington, D.C., told FoxNews.com.

Diablo Canyon in California is "a classic case of a very large nuclear reactor in an area that's seismically active," said Cirincione, president of Ploughshares Fund, which seeks to eliminate nuclear weapons and provides grants to organizations seeking to increase peace and security.
