Take a Massive Royal Beating!!!
It was shocking at how hard mother nature shook the steel and granite observatory complex as its contents were beaten and slapped around during the recent earthquake that affected the entire pacific ocean volcano.
Lucky no tsunamis ensued. However, how did the new telescopes at Singularity Observatory hold up during a number 6.2-7 earthquake which shook the largest and massive steel and granite observatory like it was child's play?
Two telescopes were affected by the quake. One telescope, the largest and most heavy, was shaken like all hell broke loose. Due to the combined tonnage of telescopes, you cannot grab it or it would be extremely dangerous - all one can do is hang on for their life to keep from being thrown overboard, above and beyond the steel rail guard and down to impact, splat, upon the hard earth thousands of feet below. Of course let's hope the telescopes stay put as well and don't topple overboard. But something very strange and eerie happened during this event.
— "Let's hope we don't slide into the ocean!" Shouted Humanoido who used all his strength to hold onto the observatory' built-in laboratory instrument bench! —
Takes a licking and keeps on ticking? The largest 1,800-inch diameter telescope (46 meters wide or 151-feet) was held to the observatory foundation by its own sheer tonnage weight and it's judicial placement onto the anti-vibration device, which apparently helped stabilize the telescope in one place. This device came directly from high technology and rocket science. Observatory Director Humanoido measured the skid of the telescope mounting relative to the anti-harmonic device on the observatory foundation and discovered something very strange. There was no recorded skidding! This absorption of vibrations by the physics of harmonic control saved the telescope.
What about the big baby? — this telescope is a megalithic monstrous 1,325-inches in diameter, weights about three times less than big brother, and was temp stowed in a possibly precarious vertical position. Did it topple, slide, crush, fold, skew, dent, crack or break? The big baby survived as well, not from the installation of any anti-harmonic device, but only due to a special material thick cover plate that was equal and opposite to the ceramic mount foundation with an extreme linear coefficient of sliding friction. This mechanical friction gripped and held the telescope in one basic position not allowing it to significantly or measurably slide. If it slewed yonder, momentum might throw it into oblivion and/or shatter its precision multiple fourth order differential glass surfaces into millions of shards. Luckily that did not happen. The 1,325" or 34-meters telescope (112 feet wide) remained safely parked, eagerly awaiting its next sky mission.
