John and Shan,

Something that I have learned over the years as a professional analyst is that the more important a subject is, the more latitude you must allow for new ideas which relate to it. And finding a way of getting earthquake warnings to people living in areas where buildings will easily collapse during an earthquake is quite important. If it worked Shan’s procedure might be ideal for helping with that.

Even if tilt meters normally do not work, perhaps there is something about his location or the way he does the calculations which enables it to produce good results. The problem is that someone has to evaluate the data and determine if it does or does not work. And it does not appear that Shan has time to do that. So the recommendation that I keep making to government agencies etc. is for them to try it and see if it works. It appears to be simple and inexpensive. It should not cost a fortune to make that type of determination. In contrast, an unexpected earthquake can cost a country billions of dollars in medical bills, building damage from fires started by the earthquake etc., and lost economic activity.
