A. Astrophysical sources for gravitational (or other) wave correlates to Earthquakes

“Nearly thirty years ago, Meidav and Sadeh [1] discovered the effect of pulsar CP1133 on seismicity that triggered the professionals interest.”

“At about the same time, Ben-Menachem, the famous seismologist, detected a correlation between seismicity and sunrises-sunsets that could not be explained as well.”

“A. Ya. Lezdinsh has advanced further. He forecasts the epicenter, the time and the magnitude of the earthquakes at the same time for Kamchatka Peninsula by using the correlation between earthquakes and stellar bodies’ positions relative to the Earth and the local horizon plane [3].”

“This method comes first in the open competition among many methods of earthquake forecast (with maximal magnitude error 0.4 point).”

Reading this paper, one wonders how such explanations could be so hidden from wider knowledge. Seemingly, this is to do with these ideas - and more importantly findings - not quite going with conventional thinking..

The likely candidate for the mechanims of influence would be gravitational waves, though understood not in the standard interpretation of J Weber’s hunt for gravitational waves, where they are not believed could cause seismic effects. But these these alternative detecting methods (one involves magnets and a gyroscope) seem to be able to find such, or similar, correlated effects. So to explain these findings, the involvement of ‘zero energy fields’ are posited and induced local alterations of space time are interpreted, otherwise the standard model of gravitational radiation is challenged. This is based on the various other detector findings which include measuremennt of physical process rate fluctuations eg. alpha decay rate fluctuations, as related to sidereal-astronomical orientations of detector apparatus.


B. Field influences in laboratory due to fast Rotating objects

Such experiments include similar discovered field alterations, from laboratory rotating objects.. here the nature of the field is left unclarified (though some level of gravitational waves would apply to asymetrical or asymetrically objects rotating at constant rate, here though the rotation rate isn’t constant)..

“If a sphere or a disk first is rotated and then is stopped in a laboratory, the field generated by the rotation first will appear and then will disappear. Our interest is to register this phenomenon by the Shnoll detector and then study, in a laboratory, the characteristics of this field, its relations with rotation if, of course, the Shnoll detector will be sensitive enough, because the laboratory body mass is negligibly small compared with the discovered masses of planets”.

Similar to such rotating objects would be the LHC beams. So we might estimate then that field effects from the starting and stopping rotating protons around the LHC laboratory also would be negligible compared to astrophysical causes.

But this was not what was found..

‘..the recording system is sensitive not to the presence or absence of the rotor’s centrifuge rotation, but to its acceleration or deceleration‘

So if significant correlations with start ups and stops (where accelerations and decelerations of angular velocity applies) can be found with M 6 or above earthquakes, this seems to provide an explanation as to how such significant influences could occur. 2 so far have been claimed within 25minutes or less.*

This is very intriguing and may be very significant, but before seeing more details of these detections and experiments .. earthquake correlates; I think, too early to judge.

*For these selected and as yet unconfirmed correlates of Luis Sancho, the chance I provisionally estimate would be one in 20,000 (ave per annum M > = 6 is 150). Eric
