Gazbom,
you proposed the suns "tectonic plates" and I said that the sun does not have any.

Well,
I found something that proved my thought upon that matter a bit right ... you had me doubting; I knew for sure that the sun did not have solide tectonic plates like the earths mantle is composed of. But maybe the sun and the interior of the earth have something in common ...
maybe the Earth has a little sun-like composite inside and is that also a hint why there are some story's of "a sun inside Earth" wich lead to the theory of the Hollow-Earth lateron.

As I googled for some extra wisdom ..lol... I found this :
"One way to study the solar interior is through helioseismology. In helioseismology, one attempts to learn about the properties of the Sun by studying the propagation of waves in its body (which, for example, cause small oscillations of the surface that are observable) in a manner similar to geologists learning about the interior of the Earth by studying seismic waves. "

So Gazbom,
that brings our story's closer togetter ... Do you see?
The sun does not have tectonic plates, but has similar oscilation waves like the earth ;)

If you look at the images in the link then you see the patern.
So we can say (I say) that the explosion of yesterday was an acoustic wave from deep below in the sun that bubbled up ... not like a normal spitting sunspot, but more like a total eruption and explosion of a vulcano leaving a crater on earth.


(In my head I hear and see "the ring of fire" > an event of the explosion of multiple volcano's that form a round-ring ... ???!?!? )

Maybe something DID shift in the layers deep down in the sun ? and maybe it had to do with CERN-LHC ?
And YES SWITZERLAND had a tremor/EQ yesterday of 0.1 ... Some people here on GLP that live there did feel it!
5.6 2010/03/31 11:06:52 15.438 25.507 0.1 GENEVA, SWITZERLAND

Do not forget that what they did in the LHC was-or-created also a shockwave : they wanted to match the BIG-BANG shockwave ! And we know that matter is always accoustic.

This does make sence ...
your thoughts, and mine ;)


Thanks for letting me think this way.




ADD EDIT:
Read "Types of solar oscillations"
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

This is very interesting information about p-mode or acoustic, g-mode or gravity and f-mode or surface gravity as Solar oscillation modes, (restoring force / anti restoring force ... maybe something went wrong there this time ?)
