Hi 2cents

The following is a more detailed explanation regarding what appears may be happening. Some other researchers apparently also agree with the earthquake triggering part of this theory picture.

Over tens, hundreds, and thousands of years, strain builds in fault zones around the world. The fault zone area rock layers “bend” to absorb that strain energy. Eventually they reach a point where they cannot bend any more and are about ready to fracture.

A strong shockwave from another earthquake can bring that about. However, what normally happens is that forces linked with the gravitational pulls of the sun and the moon bend, stretch, and compress every fault zone on Earth in different directions several times a day. And when one which is about ready to fracture on its own is bent etc. in just the right direction by those forces the earthquake is triggered. I believe that my data which you can see at my Seismic Activity and Storm Data Web site demonstrate very clearly that this is happening.

Something else appears to be happening as well.

For lengthy periods of time before the earthquake actually occurs, when the sun and moon gravity related forces bend the fault zone in just the right direction it might not be quite ready to fracture. But instead at those times there is some type of electromagnetic energy field fluctuation generated which points to that fault zone. And those are the types of signals with which I am working. Each of those precursor data points in the tables at my Seismic Activity and Storm Data Web site represents the time when a fault zone somewhere around the world was bent in just the right direction for one of those energy field signals to be generated.

Those critical sun and moon position alignments have certain repetitive time windows. They are multiples of about 6.25 hours and 7 days. And so the time periods for those signal generation processes would be 1, 2, and 3 weeks, 1, 2, 3, and 6 months, and multiples of 1 year before the earthquake.

On one occasion I collected a single, strong warning signal. And I could not find an earthquake which matched it. Almost exactly 6 months to the day after it was generated there was a very powerful earthquake in Japan which was a perfect match for it.

In part because of an earthquake forecasting theory advance which I made several months ago I am now at a point where my ability to process those warning signal data and forecast earthquakes such as the highly destructive March 25, 2002 one in Afghanistan is often being limited by the fact that I am having to do my data analyses with slow and inefficient manual comparison processes. And I am hoping to get the U.S. government or some research group to develop a computerized procedure for doing that. I believe that such a computer program would also be quite useful to other forecasters and perhaps permanently open the door for the generation of accurate and timely earthquake forecasts.

These are my own opinions.
