I have a question for all or any of you. What would be the reaction of the international geological establishment if an Indian geologist were to propose a theory that departs very substantially from the accepted theory of the geological cause of earthquakes in India and neighbouring countries, including China?

I’m talking about a very carefully argued theory, backed up by solid evidence, that no member of the Indian geological establishment has dared contradict and which is slowly being corroborated by the findings of other scientists in related fields.

From the forecaster’s point of view this theory may be interesting. Until recently, the geologist in question was typically very sceptical about prediction. But his theory has quite recently led him to data that does indeed point to prediction possibilities.

Your reactions are solicited.

Regards
