Is the LHC responsible for worldwide earthquakes?

If the LHC is responsible for earthquakes, then you hitting a nail with a hammer is responsible for continental drifts.

Just as silly as LHC doom porn.

Scrat (an acorn-obsessed saber-toothed squirrel) was responsible for the separation of the continents, which divided Pangaea, the singular landmass, into various continents.

So human beings can't effect faults and earthquakes.

Your so upset by a past argument you aren't even thinking strait.

Answer me this does the usgs consider human beings responsible for any earthquakes?

Can you read

We can set up a string of nuclear weapons on an active fault with potential energy and alter the time it was going to go.

Is that better can you understand that?

I fully admit any core discussion is theoretical. Is that better.

However volcanoes and faults are a different story. They have potential energy closer to the surface. They can be effected either directly or indirectly by percussion and theoretically ultra low frequencies.

Causing small localised tremors is a vastly different thing to say, setting off the San Andreas fault, which sounds to me the sort of thing you are talking about. And in those large scale cases, no, i dont believe that we could ever achieve much.

Faults may have potential energy, but the force it takes to release that is beyond us currently in my opinion.
