Funny how you can live on a planet your whole life and then suddenly notice something completely new. I was looking at the European-Mediterranean Seismic Center (EMSC)'s site, and noticed a strange array of activity. Here is a shot of that (click to enlarge):
Hm, I thought, what if the earth is expanding as Clif and others have said, and the Adriatic Sea continues upward along a split through the middle of Western Europe? That would separate Germany and France. Sink Italy, to some extent. How likely is such a thing? Then I noticed (duh) that the Red Sea and the Adriatic are in line, with the Spartan side of Greece separated through Corinth also in line... and the Aegean right in line too.
I know that in an economic sense, Italy and Greece are sinking. France and Germany have called for the formation of a European superstate when many think now is the time of the break-up of the EU. I know the linguistic analysis is up for interpretation (flood of water vs. flood of refugees, etc). I'm wondering if the idea of a split in Europe could be more... tangible than economic?
From this article: http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/683739/EU-referendum-German-French-European-superstate-Brexit
These quotes caught my eye:
"The revelations come just days after Britain shook the Brussels establishment by voting to leave the European Union in a move some have predicted could leave [sic] to the break-up of the EU. "
“Increasingly louder are those who question the very principle of a united Europe. The spectre of a break-up is haunting Europe and a vision of a federation doesn’t seem to me to be the best answer to it.”
"... it is nearly impossible to see Europe opting for more integration at such a time of upheaval."
“Indeed, the risk is exactly the opposite - namely that centrifugal forces will prevail and make integration even more difficult.”
"And Emmanuel Macron, France’s economy minister, wants to go even further and set up a common eurozone treasury which would oversee the permanent transfer of funds from wealthier northern Europe to shore up Mediterranean economies."
I don't read the full reports from HPH, but there are experts here who know them inside and out, I daresay. Anything like this in recent Webbot findings? The placement of these recent quakes, though they are smallish, is highly unusual (the loop of circles through the spine of Italy, western France/eastern Germany through the Netherlands).
[edit] For the record, I don't usually consider the Express a go-to source, just the first one that came up with a "France Germany news" googlage.
