Just before 9.30am on Sunday 11 November, a series of unusual seismic pulses rippled around the world almost undetected.
The waves rang for over 20 minutes, emanating about 15 miles off the shores of Mayotte - a tiny island in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and Africa.
From here, they reverberated across Africa, setting off geological sensors in Zambia, Kenya, and Ethiopia.
They crossed the Atlantic, and were picked up in Chile, New Zealand, Canada, and even Hawaii nearly 11,000 miles away, the National Geographic reports.
Despite their huge range, the waves were apparently not felt by anybody. However, one person monitoring the US Geological Survey's live stream of seismogram displays did notice the unusual waveform and posted it to Twitter, sparking the interest of other geologists and earthquake enthusiasts.
[...] The bizarre waveform is what scientists call "monochromatic". Earthquakes normally produce waves of so many different frequencies, the wave readings appear more jumbled.
But the mystery waveform from Mayotte was a crisp zigzag, which repeated after steady 17-second intervals.
"They're too nice. They're too perfect to be nature," joked the University of Glasgow's Helen Robinson, who is study[ing] for a PhD in applied volcanology.

I agree with you but you cannot call the 'entity' sadistic because it is not supposed to be understandable. It just is. Like no matter how much fascinated I am with a star, I can't come anywhere close to it. Whatever that entity is, it is not really focused on me or mine per say.
Between monotheism or polytheism, I say both have been used to kill same number of people, but latter still feels more tolerant to me. Otherwise, theologically speaking they both portray powers that be as 'just how it is' and as a challenge as well as benovalent. Which is probably why it is easy to make it a representation of father, who portrayed the same role in family.
Now I am not saying that all that is revealed truth etc. I am differentiating between the stories and the church/temple. Former was written by frontier men fighting at the border of survivability, latter is religion. We can question the religion but we should be cautious while disparaging wisdom.
Also I agree with Runway below. All I am saying is that Islam isn't Christianity 2.0, and such has been accepted in academia for at least 50 years that I know of.
