For anyone wondering how earthquakes are possible here in the copenhagen area when it isn't on a tectonic plate border

Think of the Earth's crust like a long wooden ruler.

If you stand on both ends of a wooden ruler and push hard toward the middle, you are applying force at the edges. But the ruler doesn't break under your hands, it snaps right in the middle where the wood is naturally a little weaker.

That’s exactly what just happened. The borders of our tectonic plate (thousands of kilometers away in Iceland and the Mediterranean) are constantly pushing and squeezing. That pressure traveled quietly through the solid rock until it hit an ancient, deeply buried "crack" right under Denmark, a place called the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone and caused it to instantly snap. So the way this earthquake occured isn't the same as we see in places like Turkey or California, which is a result of the plates shifting and smashing into each other.

A tiny bit of rare planetary history right under our feet today. This earthquake was only a 4.2 on the ricter scale and it still felt terrifying even if it was only for a second, I cannot imagine how much more terrifying it would be in areas with frequent earthquakes.

Flashpoint paradox ending

I am currently trying to rewatch the entire DCAMU, havent seen it in years and i didnt understand as much back then.

I am curious about the way that the flashpoint paradox movie ended where the flash meets batman in the batcave and gives him thomas' letter. Am i supposed to understand that the timeline of this scene happens sometime during the DCAMU.

So the flash we see in DCAMU in justice league war is the flash of that timeline that hasnt overlapped with the one from flashpoint paradox yet. Is this the correct assesment? Because obviously him and batman dont know each other yet. So the flash we know from the flashpoint paradox and his memories spawn at some point during the DCAMU when the justice league had already formed and batman and the flash are already acquainted? Also does this mean that at one point for a brief period, the flash has memories of 3 different timelines?

I figure this has already been discussed before many times probably, sorry if i'm bringing it up again.

Also note, i had completely forgotten how good a movie the flashpoint paradox was def top 5 superhero movies imo (just had to glaze for a second)
