Japan hit by Tsunami, is this a sign of something coming?

Is it just a coincidence that all these disasters are happening close to 2012 or what?

Hi, @ramag!

Fortunately or unfortunately we can neither look in the too distant past or in the future. But archaeology teaches us that our plant earth has always been a fairly dangerous place to live on and that there are times when disasters seem to accumulate.

Implying certain years or dates for upcoming disaster seems to me to be a ploy to keep people in fear and in certain areas it is even good business.

We know that the earth is still a volatile planet and I think we all have to prepare and live with the idea that disaster can strike anytime. But fear-mongering is out of place in my opinion.

Furthermore, if you can keep a cool head and do the right thing in the face of disaster, you have more of a chance!

No. Japan is located in a seismically active area where two tectonic plates meet.

Here is a map with red dots signifying significant earthquakes in the area between 1926 and 1995; you can almost make out Japan under the largest concentration of dots:

If you are thinking of the number of people killed, in 1923 an infamous quake there killed about 100,000 people.

Earth will, however, become uninhabitable, probably, in less than a billion years. Don't hold your breath.

Every single time that there has been a significant major disaster, there have been people that have thought that it has some kind of deeper meaning. In ancient days, people believed that a eclipse was some type of sign of impeding doom, or new life. Over time, we realized that this was a natural occurance that has not type of significant meaning other than it just happens.

People believed that storms meant that the gods were angry. They believed that earthquakes were the result of some negative deed. Some thought that a bad harvest meant that they were cursed. Over time, we came to realize that this was foolish thinking, and out superstitions began to be replaced with logic and science.

The problem is that there are many that do not rely on science to explain why events like this happen. Many still point to events like this as being created by God or the Devil. Others say that it is some kind of precursor to events that are yet to come. There is an event that is yet to come...it is called the future.
