Fukushima Paradox

The Fukushima Paradox is a theory of asynchrony surrounding the events of the March 11, and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, proposed by American science fiction writer Michael Anthony Norton. Though the chain of disasters were recorded as to have occurred in successive order of earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown, the Fukushima Paradox suggests that the earthquake and tsunami occurred as a consequence of the nuclear reactor becoming unstable due to phenomenal interactions with virtual particles.
Virtual particles in the vicinity of the power plant absorbed data describing its surrounding environment, and due to their relatively massless nature, became attracted to the excited nuclei undergoing nuclear fission inside the reactors. Virtual particles then fell into a conical conduit of energy established between the excited nuclei and the quarks which borrowed energy allowing the fission process. As the virtual particles paired with the associated quarks, thus losing their virtual properties, the quarks became unstable, forcing the "cone to its nuclei" to shift.
A virtual particle, then containing properties of its surrounding environment, those of the fission process, and those of the destabilized quarks, launched away from the unstable quarks and nuclear reactor, containing information about the over-heated reactor, the large body of water adjacent the reactors, and the amount of force required to move that water onto the reactors in order to cool them down. Essentially, the virtual particles behaved as a natural defense mechanism against the unstable, over-heated reactors. Falling into the ocean, underneath the sea-floor, the virtual particle manifested physically, releasing an enormous amount of energy, causing the earth's crust to shake, which then moved massive amounts of water onto the northeast coast of Japan and over the reactor plant.
Implications
If the Fukushima Paradox were valid, aspects of Time-Symmetric Quantum Mechanics would have to be considered, since the virtual particles behaved as if the nuclear reactors were over-heating prior to the failure of the plant's actual cooling systems. "The mystery of time's arrow deepens when we realize that all the fundamental laws of mechanics are time-reversible" (Marshall, p.46, 1997). Additionally, if this asynchrony were true, the power company might be considered liable for those lives perished and obstructed by the earthquake and tsunami. Such liability might be mitigated if the power company shares responsibility with those organizations which are responsible for investigating the behavior of virtual particles.
