Well said! It's like volcanologists meet house party DJ's resulting in the worst of both worlds

Yeah, let's DANCE to the funky beat of this song, were all gonna DIE...Yeahhhhh!

WTF is WRONG with some of these people that post this stuff ? You'd think we were all going to a dance party.

To know EXACTLY how to go to HEAVEN when you die, please click on my name and view the video "HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN" on the right side. If anyone thinks that you will go to heaven simply based on being a good person, or doing good works, don't be deceived, for no good work will take you to heaven when you die. You can, without a doubt know for certain your eternal destination and God has made it so simple. Please watch to hear the most important information you will ever learn in your life!

wtf is with the passionless voice overs? larry storch has more dramatic range. my ice curb trays have more depth.

This frankly bored the shit out of me, just watch one of the Discovery or History channel documentaries on youtube on yellowstone, much better than this crap!

Considering its only been since 1900BCE that it last erupted and a large magma chamber is still there don't believe anything!

@m8s4lif: OK, I agree with that. No one knows the time or place, for sure. We are learn ing vast amounts, very quickly, about the earth and it's patterns and logic, so I wouldn't depend on not knowing to be the way of it forever. Then again, it might be (probably is, IMO) like the weather, where chaos keeps it from being precisely predictable. Patterns, at this point in time, are fairy tales.

puncheex, I do not disagree with you. I just get very tired of hearing how its over due, and the worlds a going to die. We don't know for sure when its a going to happen, or of what magnitude. Thats why I said the part about wondering if anybody told the volcano that it has to follow a pattern.

... The facts of the last three major explosions, set in the bigger picture of 17 million years worth of history, is not compelling; in fact, over 140 eruption events (most were not explosive) have been deduced in the 17 million year history of the Y hotspot. We do know it will very likely happen; we cannot say when (else we would have). One cannot even say, with any certainly, that 100 years after a major eruption whether another will follow immediately of not.

... A large number of difficult to measure variables. And yet, we understand that design well enough to build them. We understand the lamp mechanism far, far better than we do the equivalent processes in the Earth.

If you were to ask a statistician to analyze Yellowstone with an eye to determining the date of the next eruption, he'd say it cannot be done because no enough is known about the supporting stats.

@m8s4lif: ...and here is something to think about. Do you own a "lava lamp", popular 50 years ago? Can you right a statistical expression that describes the amount of wax crossing a given horizontal line in terms of its volume, velocity and frequency? It depends on a lot of variables: the wattage of the lamp, the temperature of the ambient air, the age of the wax, how long it has been on, how efficiently convective heat transfer is working in the room, and so on...

puncheex, Of course my kind of math won't sale dog food. I think that you are quite correct about this being a little overblown.
