I suggested that we might compare earthquakes in terms of the measured amplitudes recorded at these stations, with an appropriate correction for distance. ↗

Hiphop hasn't had stages of growth through its 30 years of existence. ↗

I kicked down doors to show that Hiphop has matured. And it may be a little controversial. ↗

I was lucky because logarithmic plots are a device of the devil. ↗

If one introduces the concept of energy of an earthquake then that is a theoretically derived quantity. ↗

If the assumptions used in calculating energy are changed, then this seriously affects the final result, even though the same body of data might be used. ↗

Intensity like signal strength will generally fall off with distance from the source, although it also depends on the local conditions and the pathway from the source to the point. ↗

My amateur interest in astronomy brought out the term 'magnitude,' which is used for the brightness of a star. ↗

There is another common misapprehension that the magnitude scale is itself some kind of instrument or apparatus. Visitors will frequently ask to 'see the scale.' ↗
