There is no sense in my arguing too much about any of this at the moment.

However, regarding the nuclear tests,

I ran some checks on this a long time ago. And at that time my data looked significant. But more accurate checks would need to be done.

My data suggested to me that the nuclear tests might not actually trigger powerful earthquakes. Instead, what they were doing was actually keeping them from occurring.

The theory is that the shock waves from the nuclear blasts were causing fault zones around the world to be weakened. And if a powerful earthquake were getting ready to occur in any of them then that weakened condition would cause the earthquake to occur when it had built to only a 7 magnitude rather than an 8.5.

So, the tests were causing powerful earthquakes to occur earlier in time than they might otherwise have. But the effects were not immediate. The accelerated earthquakes still might not occur for a year after the nuclear blast.

There are good records of when those tests were run. And it would probably be worthwhile for some researcher to do a detailed study regarding the possibility that the blasts were actually saving us from some highly destructive earthquakes.

Even if that type of link were established it is unlikely that anyone, including me, would want governments around the world to start setting off underground nuclear tests just to save us from major earthquakes. But, this is still some research information that it would important for us to have.
