I have a question Magnetar/Earthquake/Tsunami

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the possibility of a connection between a magnetar pulse on December 27 and an earthquake that occurred on December 26, which triggered a tsunami. It is noted that the magnetar's radiation traveled at the speed of light and could not have pushed anything ahead of it, as that would require a faster-than-light phenomenon. The earthquake off Sumatra is characterized as part of ongoing seismic and volcanic activity in the western Pacific, specifically within the Ring of Fire, and is considered a localized event. Ultimately, the two occurrences are viewed as coincidental, with no evidence suggesting a direct link between them.

Is it possible, that the wave of radiation from the Magnetar pulse of Dec 27, pushed something else out in front of it, that caused the earthquake, that caused the Tsunami, of Dec 26th? I see two intense events, happening at virtually the same time, is it possible that there is a connection between the two things? Try to not just kill me off, for asking such a thing, eh?

The disturbance of the magnetar traveled at the speed of light. It did not pushing anything before it. That would require something (like a gravity wave) traveling faster than the speed of light. But then why would the earthquake be so localized?

The earthquake off Sumutra seems to be just a continuation of some seismic and volcanic activity in the western Pacific (Ring of Fire), with the extension into the Indian Ocean parallel with Indonesia.

The two events are coincidental with no apparent dependence of the former with the latter.
 
Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'
(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam. What changed this...
