Interesting you should mention that. My daughter who lived in Whitehorse Yukon Territory for 10 years has a friend who built her house facing the Rocky Mountains. The Sun would just peek over the tops when the time came for it's duration. Well all of a sudden one year, about 10-12 years ago now, it didn't show up...for a month, but then stayed for a month longer than usual. Government agencies deny there has in fact been a sudden shift in the axis of the Earth but a large body of scientists confirm it. The best most convincing observations are by the Inuit who have no written history and rely on Sun times for there very survival. Lots of google interviews with them raising the alarm. There was a brief statement in our local paper's weather section without any further explanation a couple years ago that went like this, verbatim.."btw, we can expect our Spring to come later and our Fall to last longer". It's due to the redistribution of the overall mass of the Earth from the glacial melt. So the strange weather extremes we're seeing all over the world are the effect finally coming to pass. It takes a while.
That's interesting, and it seems that other factors in addition to glacial melt are at play.
Apparently, the Earth drifts and wobbles on its spin axis, resulting in what is scientifically referred to as 'polar motion'.
Measurements for the 20th century show that the spin axis drifted about 10 centimetres per year. Over the course of a century, that becomes more than 10 metres.
NASA scientists have identified three processes which cause this motion:

- Glacial rebound
- Mantle convection
- Mass loss, primarily in Greenland

Okay. I should have mentioned the glacial melt thing is my opinion. I was convinced, 'how could it not be?' I don't research these things. I only go by hearsay
Empty in the sense that it does not contain meaning. Actually, the problem lies in the primitiveness not the emptiness. All languages consist of a system of symbolic logic code, meaningless marks to anyone not in the know.
No, you are quite correct. The mass loss in Greenland is due to its ice melting or, as you say, glacial melt.
The Greenland Ice Sheet dominates land ice in the Arctic. Most arctic glaciers have been in decline since the early 1960s, and the trend has been speeding up since the 1990s.

The earth spin axis shift is a hoax in my opinion.
It has no more shift than a gyroscope. Precession and nutation being its wobbles.
The mass shift is BS, negligeable versus the overall mass.
The 10 meter bit over many years is:
10 /20,000,000/3.14. Slow and small.
This is my opinion based on the fact that the Earth surface is nothing but a thin crust and human activity nothing but a very small part of this.
An hoax that goes with other cosmic catastrophism, planet alignment, ancient astronauts and the like.

I doubt if NASA scientists do hoaxes!
The three identified processes that affect the Earth's wobble are real even if small in their effect.

Over the course of a century, that becomes more than 11 yards (10 meters).
This shift is 0.000006° per year.
This shift is 0.000006° per year.
So if it were true, how much of a shift would cause a 1 month change like the one I mentioned.
I am not denying the figures.
When you mention the word 'hoax' it seems to suggest that I am denying the science, but I can assure you that I am not.
Perhaps we should ask Discopete where the scientific evidence behind his claims of a sudden shift in the Earth's axis can be found. 😉
I'm sure mchambin was referring to my little story. My evidence is obviously anechdotal. So I suppose it asserts there's been something bigger than has been/or not reported on.
Looking back, I think you may be correct and that I've got the wrong end of the stick! 😎
A minor local warp in Space-Time, IMO. Or she forgot to turn over the calender page! 😀
I'm always fascinated by how the crocuses all flower within days in February. First the Blue ones, then the yellow ones. How do they do it? 😕
Fascinating mathematical discoveries about D'Appolito MTM speakers tonight:
Hands up who spots the symmetry? Emmy Noether - Wikipedia
Where there is a symmetry there is a conservation law, right? Noether's Theorem.
Actually I thought I could do even better with this sort of Wagner ribbon thing:
What is amazing about MTM is it solves a geometric problem with loudspeakers.
The Audio Voice 92: We Bring Back Joe D'Appolito's THOR TL Design and Discuss MTM with Joe Himself!
Symmetrical lobing AND flat power response. 😎
MTM has an inherent problem with DI. It will never have a flat power curve. So dismissed.
Next.. ? 🙂

TNT, you are messing with the big boys here! Don't get over-confident.
The whole point about odd-order filters like BW3 and BW5 is they DO have flat power response!
An entirely different solution to LR2 and LR4.
I seriously don't think you did your homework. You clearly didn't read and digest the Joe D'Appolito article in 12 minutes. 😱

C'mon, Steve, you can't just say that without a ton of explanation!
Noether’s (first) theorem states that any differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law.
Now that begs an explanation of what 'the action of a physical system' is.
The action of a physical system is the integral over time of a Lagrangian function from which the system’s behavior can be determined by the principle of least action.
Wow, that explanation sure was helpful! 😀

The earth weighs 6.6 ^23 metric tons IIRC. The crust can bounce up and down to to 'mass shift'. At one stage during the last ice age, parts of the ice sheet over Europe and north America were up to 2 miles thick. When the ice sheet melted, some parts of the crust rose 100's of metres.
Don't think anything's going on right now that would see the crust rise by metres without there being serious scientific explanation and accurate measurement. Everest's height has increased - confirmed by Chinese and Nepalese scientists, but that has been due to plate tectonics (Indian sub-continent still moving northwards)
Do you think the Inuit are perpetrating a hoax? Are they on the "climate change is our fault bandwagon". They don't need calendars to know what day it is.
