A number of topics are being discussed here. These are expressions of personal opinion.

Ear Tones - About a week ago I made what might be an important discovery regarding the nature and source of at least some Ear Tones. And if it is correct it means that they are in fact biological responses to electromagnetic energy field fluctuations. I am convinced that they are often linked to earthquake fault zone activities as well.

Earthquake Forecasting Workshop - An earthquake forecasting program I have been running for a number of years appears to me to be working for at least some destructive earthquakes. I have been trying to get other researchers around the world familiar with the data processing procedures I am using. And I have been comparing notes with them regarding different types of precursor signals. The latest effort has involved comparing my signals with infrasound signals being detected by other forecasting personnel. So far there do not appear to be any exact matches.

What I have discovered with some disappointment is that this technology has now grown to be so complex that even competent researchers who are interested in it are having a difficult time understanding some of the basic concepts. The Wave Charts discussed at my Web site are not too difficult to understand. But phenomena related to a 25 hour earthquake triggering cycle which are even more important just draw a blank.

It appears that what is going to have to happen is that some type of workshop will have to be held. An initial presentation would be made. And then the participants would start going over things in detail and begin making some plans for future research. There is so much information to cover that a regular 15 minute conference talk would not even scratch the surface. And I don't have time to write a book.

An international group was going to hold that workshop a while back. Funds were available. But at that time it was impossible to get all of the plans details to merge. At the moment there are no plans on the table for another workshop.

Precursor Signal Patterns

This demonstrates why such a workshop would be needed.

On Day 1 I might detect 5 warning signals for an approaching earthquake. On Day 3 the earthquake will occur. And as often happens, its characteristics will match those of the 5th, final signal in that previous group. I use that type of information to generate forecasts.

On Day 5 a group of 3 warning signals might be detected. They will be indicating were the next destructive earthquake is going to occur. And the first signal in that group will also match the characteristics of the earthquake which just occurred.

I have identified a fairly large number of those earthquake signal patterns. And at the moment there does not appear to be any limit to how many there are. However, certain ones occur more often than others.

Signal pattern recognition procedures can be used to identify individual patterns like that and then tell where an expected earthquake might occur. And earlier this year I created a special computer program which does compare precursor signal patterns with past earthquakes. It presently checks for something like several dozen different patterns.

Something I have said in the past here is that this forecasting work could be at least 25 years more advanced that what other researchers here and around the world are doing. And this is an example of that.

So, how do you go about explaining to other researchers how these signal patterns are organized etc. and cover all of the other important topics so that they can start doing this type of work?

The only answer that I can presently see for that question is to hold a workshop.

Earthquakes And Human Health

Now that my newest computer seems to be running I am focusing on preparing a research report which proposes that there might be an extremely important link between phenomena such as earthquakes, and human health. And that includes the health of people who live far from any fault zones.

If I can ever get the report finished it is scheduled to be sent to top medical authorities, government officials, and international news services etc.

As I proposed on numerous previous notes posted here, one of the major reasons that important earthquake forecasting research is not being done is because destructive earthquakes occur so rarely at a given location here in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. The result is that people get concerned when one does occur. But then that concern quickly fades with time. And the need to do the important research gets shifted to a "back burner" and does not get done.

By showing that there might be a link between earthquakes and human health the report I am preparing might get people in the medical field interested in this subject matter. And when they began asking questions then there might be some motivation for the important earthquake forecasting research to get done.
