On 11 July 2026, 10:26 UTC, an earthquake of magnitude M6.4 was recorded in the region: South Sandwich Islands region. Coordinates: 55.5424° S, 28.8526° W Depth: 26 km The blue and white areas of the diagram show the directions of compression and extension during the rupture; the shape indicates the fault type (normal, reverse, or strike-slip). The solution yields two mathematically equivalent fault planes — which one is the actual rupture plane is usually unknown without additional geological context: ...

A note on methodology. The author deliberately distinguishes between two levels of knowledge: established facts (results of measurements and observations) and explanations (theoretical interpretations of those facts). The former is beyond doubt. The latter is a matter of scientific debate. The reader is invited to evaluate the arguments independently. Introduction The Earth rotates on its axis unevenly. This is not a hypothesis — it is a measurable and repeatedly confirmed fact. Modern geodesy records changes in the length of day (parameter LOD — Length of Day) with microsecond precision. Even deviations of a few milliseconds indicate powerful redistributions of mass and angular momentum within the Earth–atmosphere–ocean system. ...
