Earthquake Alarm that can give you extra seconds of advanced warning

Let's explore the power of the suns solar wind - as you can see from these live movies from the NASA SOHO satellite - which is looking at the sun right now - the sun is constantly in flux and giant explosions on its surface hurl variable amounts of electric protons (solar wind) our way. These are variations in solar wind.

The NASA POES satellites in polar orbit right now measure the energy in the solar wind several times a day when crossing the earth poles.

The following revolutionary image is a real time model of the ionospheric ion density over the world. It changes rapidly (roughly every hour) but with major earthquakes one sometimes finds an ionospheric hotspot in the vicinity. Theories are that squeezed earth faults cause peizoelectric rocks like quartz to create ionic charges near earth's surface or perhaps even solar wind hitting earth triggers quakes and that wind can perhaps be detected by the way it ionizes the atmosphere. For the first time in the world this data can be studied live next to a matching map of worldwide earthquakes. UPDATING AGAIN!

The Image below from the USGS shows the statistical probability of a Magnitude 6 AFTERSHOCK in California based solely on the amount of other recent earthquake activity. (Every earthquake has a statistical risk of triggering another earthquake including a larger earthquake. This image DOES NOT factor in any other risks or indicators.)

Two years worth of actual Length of Day changes as measured by the US Naval Observatory in microseconds (one thousandth of a second - the earth spins about 45 cm in one thousandth of a sec at the equator so one millisecond equals almost half a meter change in spin per day)

If that wasn't enough the earth's poles (the center of rotation) also move around! The US Naval Observatory plots those changes too!

This changing solar wind that is deforming the Earth's "electric cloud" is a huge amount of force.

Current Solar wind gauge (another indication of the solar wind now)

However as you can see from this satellite data table below the solar wind power output occasionally jumps by over 100 times. That's 2 magnitudes folks. On day 280 of year 2005 at 21 48 hours NOAA satellite 18 measured 288.9 GIGAWATTS hitting the earth on the north pole. This means the electric power equivalent of almost 300 San Onofre nuclear Power Plants hit the north pole that day. Many times it doubles between days. The data is in the format

The Solar wind and Space Weather is so important to so many things such as satellites and radio communications that the US government has a website to monitor it and issue warnings. www.sec.noaa.gov directly monitors solar output and warns of it's impact on the upper atmosphere and the earth every hour.

Also read http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/23oct_superstorm.htm which discusses the 1859 super storm and the 1989 flare storm which took out the Canadian Power grid.

Many scientists have studied these forces as peered reviewed contributors to the Journal of Geophysical Research.

I quote "To research the "perfect space storm" of 1859, Tsurutani and co-writers Walter Gonzalez, of the Brazilian National Space Institute, and Gurbax Lakhina and Sobhana Alex, of the India Institute of Geomagnetism, used previously reported ground, solar and auroral observations, and recently re-discovered ground-based magnetic- field data from Colaba Observatory in India. The findings were published in a recent issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research.""

Back to the logic of it all:

So how can we predict when the Sun will hit us with big solar winds that might trigger stressed earthquake faults to create an earthquake at that time? Here's where it gets REALLY interesting.

Did you know those 200 variable solar wind GIGAWATT were directly influenced by the positions of the planets. Yes. They really were. "How can that be?" You might say. "That sounds like nonsense!"

Believe it or not the gravity of planets orbiting around the sun change the solar wind. This is because the primary solar wind fluctuations are caused by solar flares which occur primarily during regular solar cycles. Solar cycles have been best tied to the orbital positions of the inner planets. The inner planets slight gravity is enough to throw the gravitational center of the Fluidic plasma body of the sun off and cause increased solar flare activity approximately every 11 years. (Think of the Sun as a soap bubble in the air being influenced by a slight breeze caused by a body 50 yards away and you begin to see the possibilities.)

Read here for an excellent simple illustration. http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/kids/barycntr.shtml

The position of the solar system's center of gravity or Barycenter is computed in Ephemera by astronomers every day. Astronomers calculate where the planets will be many years in the future and for 100's of years in the past. it's easy using computers because the planets follow predictable paths based on gravity and orbits. So the location of the center of gravity of the whole solar system barycenter is known in the future because it is determined by the all planet's orbital positions which can be precisely calculated as well 100's of years in past and present .

Occasionally when the planets align in certain ways the barycenter can pass right through the sun itself. This is a bit like your dog occasionally walking right through your body. As you can imagine that could possibly effect your circulation patterns and that is what happens with the sun. Remember the Sun is not solid. It is very fluid like with internal circulation patterns that can easily get disturbed just like you can spoil a whirlpool in a drain with just the tip of your little finger. When the sun's circulation patterns are affected, solar flares and periods of high solar activity can result.

Even when the barycenter just nudges the edge of sun it can really mess with it. And Mercury is close enough to toy with the sun all by itself.

Mercury despite it's small size has the greatest measured effect on the sun because of how close it is to the Sun. Venus and Jupiter are next in line because of Venus's close proximity and Jupiter's huge size respectively.

So you see there ARE big direct scientifically measurable effects of other planets on the earth because of their positions affecting the sun which directly affects us in a huge way.

So don't be quite so quick to scoff at the possible physical influence of the planets and the sun on the earth (and therefore possibly on earthquake timing). The planetary/solar effect on earth is real and measured by NASA EVERY SINGLE DAY.

So we now know that gravity is by no means the greatest force exerted on the planet earth by other planets. So Carl Sagan's famous quote about "the nurses' gravity affecting you more than the gravity of a planet" not withstanding, poor Carl (who I loved and respected) missed the relevant mechanism. I assure you your nurse had nothing like the effect of 200 GIGAWATTS of Solar wind on you no matter how electrifying she may have been.

Unfortunately so many seismologists have no knowledge of astronomy or space solar electrical phenomenon that they have no way to know how little they know.

There are many intricacies of solar wind - for example the polarity of the solar wind changes every 28 days. The Sun's polarized solar wind would look like spokes of a wheel if you could see it. I would propose the moon's orbit settled the way it did to synchronize with the changing polarity of the sun's solar wind because when it was non synchronous the forces on the congealing moon mass would nudge it in the right direction.

Many people have tied surges in solar wind to earthquakes, and I have now shown you how it might work. The data is there and secondary detected effects also sometimes coincide and have been detected. For example the low EM waves that scientists sometimes have been detected before quakes could easily be affects of solar wind bursts hitting the Earth. The best studies of those EM signals preceding the Loma Preita earthquake EXCLUDED non earth originations of the EM waves and found no correlation to quakes. This means if there is a correlation the waves must originate off earth as a solar wind would ( the Stanford scientists leading the study assumed the waves were earth originating and hence specifically excluded data signals from space thus unknowingly excluding the possible primary data stream.)

Now it turns out electrical forces from the solar wind aren’t the only electrical forces we should worry about triggering earthquakes. The very real possibility exists that Man can trigger earthquakes with weapons(much like the James Bond Movie)

If they do take it down find it here: Defense Secretary Cohen's Speech

It's pretty fascinating. Here is the relevant portion of the question and answer period in its completeness. Answers are by Defense Secretary Cohen himself.

DoD News Briefing

Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen
Monday, April 28, 1997 - 8:45 a.m. EDT

Cohen's keynote address at the Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass
Destruction, and U.S. Strategy at the Georgia Center, Mahler Auditorium,
University of Georgia, Athens, Ga. The event is part of the Sam Nunn
Policy Forum being hosted by the University of Georgia. Secretary Cohen
is joined by Sen. Sam Nunn and Sen. Richard G. Lugar.]

AND I quote directly from the defense Secretary's comments on that page
( look at the bottom of the paragraph regarding "Others are engaging
even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate,
set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of
electromagnetic waves. "
