John,

In various disciplines of science at times sometimes there is an X-Factor, which in itself is not confirmed, however the results support it. This is often seen in astronomy where planets are located in distant universes. They know from light shifting something exists which cannot be seen. It is much like what happens in our own solar system if one were to see Mercury go between the Sun and Earth.

It is known that rocks breaking in a laboratory under pressure emit an electrical signal which is known, so how it is possible for rocks to break in the earth that are larger than homes and nothing happens? Are we absent of a microphone out there? You must imagine of course that when the rock breaks it doesn't move. There is no earthquake. Imagine a slab of granite the size of a cadillac and it cracks under pressure, but there is no room for it to move, what happens then?

In the case of ear tone research the X-factor is that electric signal and we know that along a narrow band a future earthquake exists and the results bare this out in most cases. The reason it isn't 100% all of the time is because the human cannot count perfectly in a world where so many other things are going on at the same time. No one sits quietly and awaits this experience and it takes a certain amount of time for a human to think "there it is, I must count." How long is that? A millisecond, 1/4 second, a whole second? It depends upon the person and their environment.

Therefore John, why is there a controversy over X-factor when it should be considered a known event, the same as in astronomy?
