The odds of quakes that large occurring randomly
within such a short time span is only four per cent, Bufe noted today at the annual meeting of the Seismological Society of America in Memphis, Tennessee.
The point is that the test for statistical significance over

The ring contains at least several billion new stars that would not normally have been created in
