Writing down the story of a past relationship increases the effectiveness of thinking about the past and future in close relationships.

Waves reflecting off Earth's core shifted Japan after 2011 earthquake

Around 15 minutes after the magnitude-9 Tohoku earthquake on 11 March 2011, almost the whole of Japan jumped half a centimetre to the east. This lurch resulted from an immensely powerful seismic wave that travelled 5800 kilometres to the planet’s core and then bounced back towards the surface.
