Ground is shaking yet. Another quake.
Definitely feeling these quakes before they even happen...

Me too. I can't sleep. Feels like the earth is moving beneath my feet way too much.
I think it is constantly moving :welcome: glory be
Lots of restless energy in the air, or is it just me?
And what is it with those waves, they're not ending.

Earth is responding to the thinking patters of human beings ...
And we ain't thinking clearly and living very harmoniously as a collective, now are we?

check it out, TPTB are doing what they call "checks" on the LHC, they claim it's only to test their systems --
interesting that this press release was today...

Low-energy collisions tune LHC experiments

At about half past nine CET this morning, for the first time since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started up after two years of maintenance and repairs, the accelerator delivered proton-proton collisions to the LHC experiments ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb at an energy of 450 gigaelectronvolts (GeV).
These collisions, which take place with each beam at the so-called injection energy, that is, the energy at which proton beams are injected into the LHC from the Super Proton Synchrotron, enable the LHC experiments to tune their detectors. This process is also an important step towards readying the accelerator to deliver beams at 6.5 teraelectronvolts (TeV) for collisions at 13 TeV.
Each low-energy collision sends showers of particles flying through an experiment's many layers. The experimental teams can use this data to check their subdetectors and ensure they fire in the correct place at the precise instant that a particle passes. Reconstructing flight paths of the particles from many parts of the detector at once helps the experiments to check the alignment and synchronization of various subdetector elements.
So just as the LHC team tests each component, system, and algorithm one after the other, the experiments go through checklists that confirm that everything is fully functional and no mistakes, bugs or failures are present when collisions are delivered at 13 TeV.
Meanwhile the LHC Operations team is halfway through its eight weeks of scheduled beam commissioning, during which the accelerator's many subsystems are checked to ensure that beams will circulate stably and in the correct orbit. Sensors and collimators around the accelerator's full 27 kilometres send information to the CERN Control Centre, from where the operators can remotely adjust the beam by fine-tuning the positions and field strengths of hundreds of electromagnets.
Though the first beam at 6.5 TeV circulated successfully in the LHC last month, there are many more steps before the accelerator will deliver high-energy collisions for physics to the LHC experiments. Well before the full physics programme begins, the LHC operations team will collide beams at 13 TeV to check the beam orbit, quality and stability.
proton-proton collisions:

When protons collide with such large energies as at the LHC, the collision results in a shower of all types of particles, the ones usual matter is made of, and others that only existed just after the Big Bang.
The new particles are usually much heavier than the original colliding particles, thanks to the relation E=mc2. To say it simply: All the energy we put into the collision can come out as mass instead! So, in a proton-proton collision “anything” can happen, provided some important principles are respected, such as energy and momentum conservation.
putting stress on the globe:

Create the World’s Biggest Building: Back in 2005, a geologist claimed that the world’s then-tallest building, the Taipei 101, which weighs in at more than 700,000 metric tons, was triggering earthquakes in a long-dormant fault in Taiwan. Klose doubts that the building actually did so, but said that it wasn’t outside the realm of possibility for a building to create an earthquake. The weight of the building, however, would have to be much greater than the Taipei 101’s, and even much larger than the Burj Dubai, currently still under construction but already the world’s tallest building.
Perhaps, then, this leaves some space for a supervillain to secretly construct the world’s heaviest structure in the wilds of San Bernardino, slowly but surely adding strain to California’s jumpy fault system in what Geoff Manaugh of the architectural speculation site, Bldgblog, calls "tectonic warfare."
Or just skip the skyscraper but keep the stress? (cern) lol

I clearly need to update my super villain notes, Tesla. I never heard of the weight of a large building would create a quake before. I have seen a quake triggered by a hurricane or typhoon passing over a fault line. Interesting thought.
Appears the sun has chimed in with a lot to add. Meaning some small flaring.
I think we are lucky it wasn't worse.
The full moon, a day ago at 13 degrees Scorpio, and the sun at 13 degrees of Taurus, with Jupiter forming the 90 degree angle to both sun and Moon...this was to be expected.
We also had a strong X2.7 solar flare. We will see more (possibly strong) quakes soon.
