La Palma Earthquake Swarm

No.13648371 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Since September 12, a swarm of earthquakes has plagued the SW coast of La Palma island, in the Canaries - West of a troublesome fault line created by displacement accumulated in past eruptions. There have been longstanding, sensationalized concerns of a landslide caused by intrusion of magma therein that could displace a significant volume of water in the Atlantic; leading to Tsunami of debated intensity along the Atlantic coastlines.

I visited Spain's National Geographic Institute (Institute Geographic National) website to review GPS trackers placed throughout the region of interest. I like geology, but I am no expert. Can any geology anons provide insight into this GPS data (picrel).

It would appear as though the ROI has shifted southwestward to the tune of ~5.6 cm since 12/09/21. Is this magnitude of movement significant?

High school senior and recently I’ve been insecure about my shitty math placement. I’m taking precalc right now so how feasible would it be to work through a basic calc textbook by myself next semester to get at least a 76 on the CLEP, than take calc 2 over the summer so I can do all the advanced shit at uni?

Efficient Markets Theory

No.13646705 ViewReplyOriginalReport
How did people believe this? The only consolation for economists/financial theorists is that the people arguing on behalf of this theory were clearly so smart -- people like Eugene Fama or Paul Samuelson, so the rest of the economics community decided that it must true despite a lack of empirical evidence.

The thing is that Robert Shiller and Thaler and Lo are also very smart. Plus they have the benefit of empirical data.

This is a discussion of economic science.
