"Earthquake Prediction Flowchart" by XKCD comic (Fediverse mirrors XKCD Bot (npub1n23…agga) xkcdbot (npub1wmu…nnec) ) - A simplistic but effective method to deal with #pseudoscience is just drop it like a brick. The best geologists can currently do is make forecasts of quake probability, not a specific time or magnitude, based on exhaustively studying historical quakes and stress on regional fault lines. There is no known method to pinpoint when the rocks will actually break. https://xkcd.com/3165/ #earthquake #quake #geology
