: This is why some "officials" will *not* tell the public about a earthquake

     I'm not so bewildered by the reference to evil "officials"
who won't tell the public as I am by predictions which are 
100% correct. What prediction system is this, or on what
fault zone?

: I think that anyone who has a good idea that there is going to be a 
: earthquake and has some decent data to back it up should be heard by
: any "officals" and the public told about it.
:  
: Let the public decide if they want to listen or not, no "offical" should
: hold back information at all! The "officials" should add their own data
: and information to the data, and can even say what *they* think is the
: percentages of this being true is.
      Yeah, except there are no ideas that aren't strictly in the 
hypothetical stage for earthquake prediction, and even those are
incompletely and tenuously suggested. If they announced everone's
earthquake prediction, the public would be hearing predictions
literally every day. From "psychics" to con gamers to those with
out-and-out malevolent intentions, everyone would have their hand in.
Then the distrust of earth science would be born and grow, and a
"these guys don't know what the hell they're talking about" attitude 
would coalesce. 
     Well, they do know what the hell they're talking about, and 
especially when they say that they don't know how to predict earthquakes!
     
     So, you could say, no, no, I just mean announce "expert" predictions.
Who's an expert? Do you need a Ph.D.? If you got one in, say, geophysics,
but then became a stockbroker, are you an expert? Is an M.S. satisfactory?
Just working in the field? How about Kerry Siegh, at CalTech (or Cal Tech,
or Kerry Seigh, or whatever...)? He's not geophysics, he's a paleoseis
pioneer. 

     The people I consider the closest to being experts on earthquake
prediction are reticent because they don't exist.

Tesla was quite interested in resonance phenomena--though usually the
electrical variety.  He did a number of experiments with Earth
resonance currents.  The method indicated is pretty consistent with
other stuff he did.  Whether it would really work would probably
depend on damping characteristics.  Since Manhattan is built on a
fairly soild hunk of granite, I don't think I'd rule it out . . .

In my home town, a falling tree took down a power line.  The
lady in the house down the block saw that it had started a
small grass fire.  So, she went out with her garden hose and
tried to put out the fire.  When the stream of water hit the
line, ZAP!  I understand the body didn't stop burning for some
time.

Her husband sued the power company for criminal negligence.  
The jury believed stupidity was more the factor here.
