The depth of your answer suggests that you really do understand the connection of all things. The problem I have is convincing some, that this connectedness is important enough to explore deeply. There is a very close relationship between entropy and earthquakes. Some people can detect those relationship/s either by intuition or by study. don does his by study. Don is also bailing out the Titanic with a waterglass. he is most certainly on the right track... but the wrong car on the train. The only way to predict earthquakes is for science to further explore the bio-geological connects of man/woman and earth. I suspect Petra aka Pat is very closely tuned to the later method of prediction and in that sense is closer to finding an answer, but is also combining Dons science with her intuition, neither of which/whom are completely aware of each other.
