Abstract:
In this paper the similarities of multiple fracturing on a neutron star and on the Earth are explored, including power-law energy distributions, clustering, and the symptoms of transition to a major rupture. These similarities may reflect a scenario of a critical transition, common for a broader class of nonlinear systems.
