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