you just wrote as many words as a Nature paper

Your 3 posts tonight have about 1000 words, close to the length of a Nature paper, so the claim that you don't have time is humorous.

The problem is that you can't show predictions followed by the predicted earthquakes, which would take even less than 1000 words.

Just to be didactic, a prediction has 3 elements:
1. an area,
2. a time interval, and
3. a magnitude range

It takes hitting or missing about 10 events to show whether your method has any life-saving potential whatsoever.

Until you document some success, you're only fooling yourself if you think your method has merit. I still suspect this is a prank.
