Misplaced Pages

I'll put the external links in later. This is a controversial topic and there are sooo many! Zeizmic 14:18 21 May 2003 (UTC)

History of Earthquake Prediction

I made some MAJOR edits to this page to clean it up and simplify it for the average reader. This is an encyclopedia afterall, not a classroom text. I also felt a lot of the stock market information did not contribute much to this article. If one would like it put back in, I suggest a massive rewrite to clarify it.

I think a new section entitled "The History of Earthquake Prediction" would be pretty nice to have. Detailing ancient Chinese observations on how animals acted (and how they met with both success and failure at using this method) and onward to modern predictions (Japan/Taiwan, Parkfield, Dr. K-B, modeling they are doing at UC Davis).

Controversy in trying to predict earthquakes.

I removed the following:

For example the loss of Space Shuttle Challenger during a cold weather launch would not be the sort of scientific experiment that one would want to "repeat" as many times as necessary to be "sure" before taking action or drawing conclusions. In such a case, a single data point is more than sufficient to draw conclusions thereby.

I think it really has nothing to do with this article and the way it is written is especially confusing. It is my opinion that we should leave it out, especially since it really doesn't contribute to the article in a meaningful way.

I also think the ending of this section should be rewritten somehow when talking about controversy in trying to predict earthquakes. RockBandit 07:21, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

Earthquake Prediction: Chinese

according to this article and the "Early warnings" section of the article "Tangshan earthquake", predictions saved thousands of Chinese. This article described how did they issue warnings.--Skyfiler 15:37, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

Cut from article

I cut this from the article (by 195.96.232.207 dated 24 August 2005):

It is not true that the earthquakes are random geologic events without cycles or patterns. All in the NATURE is determined and only our limited knowledge is a reson to state about earthquakes unpredictables. Let us remember the Black Body problem, Plank formulae and Quantum Mechanics of Hidrogen Atom. Let us remember that many people stated that it is not possible to fly in the atmosphere, to fly in a space, to visit a Moon.

Good State

I just reviewed this article and think it is a state ready for the printer. :) --Zeizmic 21:46, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Earthquake rules

Just a note for your evidence:

Earthquakes, at least some, indicate high coincidence with sextil (60°), trigon (120°), kvintil (72°) or other aspectation of Neptune with other planet, and possibly sextil (60°) of Venus with other planet, being combined and empowered by other aspects... Could you believe that anything happens at random?

The earthquake power comes from tectonic plates, but something must shake them first, be it a volcano or gravity resonance between planets. And shorthand prediction by cloud shapes and bird flight is not that bad idea, since the clouds are directed by moon & planet gravity resonance also... One cannot predict area, where earthquake strikes, but birds do feel it...

This is not my original invention, i have already read this in a calendary by Maria Thun ...

But what would be the earthquake date prediction good for? What would help knowing the date? Fear at every possible place, watching birds and clouds... These aspectations happen more times per year, and not all yield the measurable earthquakes...

Removed the following sentence. Which man ? When ? How ?

There is a man in southern California who keeps track of missing cats and dogs reported in his local newspaper. Approximately 7.5 times more animals go missing about a week before a major earthquake. This man has issued earthquake warnings based on this with about 75% accuracy.

wrong sentence

In Controversy in trying to predict earthquakes there's the sentence:

It is called The Earthquake Weather Project, a web-based held beliefs mentioned above, no doubt adding to the controversy surrounding earthquake prediction.

Something is wrong with this sentence - someone who knows the history of the page or is willing to look it up might want to correct this. Boud 19:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
