"Earth's rotation changes all the time as a result of not only earthquakes, but also the much larger effects of changes in atmospheric winds and oceanic currents," he said. "Over the course of a year, the length of the day increases and decreases by about a millisecond, or about 550 times larger than the change caused by the Japanese earthquake. The position of Earth's figure axis also changes all the time, by about 1 meter (3.3 feet) over the course of a year, or about six times more than the change that should have been caused by the Japan quake."

Please stay on topic. Do not derail this thread with your unscientific, fairy tale, made-up, mumbo-jumbo. I would ask for you to please cite your reputable sources and their relation to the OP. Thank you.edit on 29-7-2011 by SpringHeeledJack because: grammar

No. It did tilt us but it was a very small fraction of what you said. Somewhere around 25 centimeters (10 inches). Barely the most minute fraction of a fraction of a degree.

Lol, oh really?
Kidding aside, taking pictures for a month proves nothing. As I said, and as is common knowledge, the position of the sun changes constantly. A result (or cause) of having different seasons. Now take pictures over a few decades from a single spot, account for errors and variables, and then you'll see what's up.

No it did not.. More like a tiny fraction of a degree which is much smaller even than the yearly variations. The change in axis is a slow but constant phase that takes tens of thousands of years even to change it by a few degrees. The tilt is currently decreasing and will continue to do so for the next ten thousand years or so.

And magnetic pole shift in 2012 is indeed silly.
There is no way to know when a magnetic shift will occur as it is completely random. The magnetic field has also been lower many times in the past without any change or pole shift occurring.

are you sure it wasnt a fraction of a fraction like some other genius on here said?
so what is it then, ? huh? mass hysteria? what? what is it that some of us are seeing all over the world, and some are not? My memory is perfectly fine, what is your diagnosis for me? Do you have all answers by the way?
