Hi Kiddo. There are many scientists in the World who never step outside the box. They are afraid to go where no one has gone before. Earthquake prediction problem is one of those places. There are some who say one day earthquake prediction will become reality, but not now. Then there are those who say no one will be able to predict earthquakes. Earthquakes occur at random in a World of chaos. You and I have met them. We have found that they far outnumber those who say earthquake prediction will become reality one day, but not now. Why is it that there are those who seem to pooh-pooh those who say they hear earthquakes before they happen? Is it because they don’t hear them? Is it because they don’t understand it? Is it because they can’t test it? Who are we hurting by trying to learn what it is that you and others hear? It may be as you say. We may never find the answer, but if don’t look for it will be for sure that we will never find the answer. Each of us, the scientists and the non-scientists have to do what they feel is right. I ask those who don’t believe earthquake prediction will become reality. How will they ever solve the earthquake prediction problem if they believe that the earthquake prediction problem can't be solved? Take Care…Don in creepy town
