Earthquake Prediction

Post by Ron Caliburn »

Indonesia prepares after psychic 'predicts quake' wrote:JAKARTA (AFP) - Local officials in a quake-prone Indonesian province said Monday they were taking precautionary measures after a Brazilian psychic warned a powerful earthquake would strike next month.

Husni Hassanuddin, a spokesman for Bengkulu province on Sumatra island, said the Indonesian embassy in Brasilia had passed on a letter from a "professor" and psychic predicting a quake would rock the island on December 23.

"During a recent meeting with all senior officials in Bengkulu, we determined a number of evacuation shelters for residents, especially those who live in the coastal areas," he told ElShinta radio.

He said there would be several evacuation drills around the province prior to December 23.

"Though we call it a rumour, we take this information seriously. We don't want people to blame us if it really happens," he said.

Another Bengkulu official, Fauzan Rahim, told state-run Antara news agency that he had seen a copy of the letter from Jucelino Nobrega da Luz, which predicted an 8.5-magnitude quake on Sumatra, but did not give an exact location. Sumatra is home to nine other provinces.

Antara said da Luz had sent a letter in 1998 predicting the tsunami that devastated Indonesia in 2004. He also issued a warning in 2006 forecasting September's 8.4-magnitude quake in Bengkulu, which left 23 people dead, it said.

A seismologist from the Indonesian Meteorology and Geophysics Agency told ElShinta that no technology in the world could predict an earthquake.

"We have told people repeatedly that we cannot predict a quake. If there's information about the date on which a quake will occur, it is surely untrue," he said.

Indonesia sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where continental plates collide, causing frequent seismic and volcanic activity.


I hope this guy is right enough that the world accepts psychic phenomena - but not so right in the sense that we get another tragedy like a couple of years back.

Is there any data suggesting that psychic predictions are more on the spot when it comes to big events involving a lot of energy? A lot of energy is released in volcanic/tectonic activity as well as in the loss of life.

I know it seems they're more accurate when it comes to plane crashes and stuff...

Odd that you should say that. I had a friend in high school who could accurately predict plane crashes in her dreams.

Well Bert, Sara and I once had a discussion on that exact topic. She told me that she had always felt that ant sort of daeth leaves a psychic disturbance of some sort. Now, she thought that the deaths of many people, or the death of one person that will effect a great many people, leave a much larger disturbance. These larger disturbances can possibly echo across time. Making them easier to see by psychics.

I have heard a theory, years ago, that events which have a significant impact on a person in the future, may cause them to release a form of psychic energy that is able to travel in to the past. Since the energy leaves the person's mind, they are very receptive to it in the past and most commonly receptive at night while dreaming.

Whether there is any validity to this or not I have no idea, as all of the precognitive dreams I have had were about myself, and always regarded mundane things. This is why I never pay them any attention until I am in the situation and then I remember the dream clearly. How one would test this theory I have no idea as well.

No lottery numbers yet though.
