This update includes a prediction list from the earthquake prediction trial period, and subsequent updates, including the email chain between myself, Dr. Love, and some very silent USGS employees.

Update - August 11, 2016 [Q/A]

Hours before this video we called out a large seismic uptick warming for New Zealand and the Islands to the north of it. Hours after this video an M7.2 and M6.1 struck the areas of New Caledonia and Fiji, just north of New Zealand.

Selections from the Initial Acceptance of Love’s Challenge – by Ben Davidson

Stanford University monitors the strength of solar magnetic fields leaving the north and south poles of the sun. After observing a correlation between significant magnetic events on the sun and earthquakes, the apparent correlation was modeled by The Ohio State University Statistical Consulting Service, and published by New Concepts in Global Tectonics in September 2015. Since the end of the study, the model appears to be working even better than before the publication. We would like to challenge YOU to learn how the sun triggers earthquakes by clicking one of the videos found below.

      I would like to ask if you have considered the effect of sun amplified magnetic waves from the moon at the time of the earthquakes. I’d like to see what phase the moon was in & its location at the time of these earth events. Thank you. 😉

        Oh we’re in birth pangs already. Remember when the earth’s water broke on Christmas 2012 with the giant tsunami? And things are being forced into the mold of Scripture. Sure man can fake biblical signs, but we who Cary his spirit know when it’s him. There is a massive contrast between the two. Father Bless us all that diligently seek with the gift of a narrow path to the straight gate.

      You may feel, hopefully, from time to time, how important all of your work is and how valuable for the public debate, the wondering and pondering. For our safety too, when we pay attention. It’s usually like this, that where the opposition is strongest, the presence of truth and light is blinding it. Keep on trucking, all of us, who believe in what you do, will send support and strength as fuel for your journeys to the sun and your daily reports. Thank you!

        Problem is that if you believe the bible then you KNOW the earth is flat and that NASA lies. We love Ben but We love and believe God above all. Right? Their is a dome above us and God created light Before he created the sun and moon. Light is not the result of the sun. Science takes God out of the picture and tries to make men superior to God. Look at what science has done to this Planet. Pesticides, opiate epidemics, bombs……all in the name of science. You are awesome Ben. But the blind don’t see. NASA controls all visuals. They create what you see and what science fiction created long ago. It’s not by chance. It’s their script to feed lies you are familure with and make them truth. Your mind is in there hands!!! God or man/money? You can’t serve them both.

      Can we get more information on the gamma ray influx that increases during solar minimum? Fermilab gamma ray monitoring and ice core analysis of carbon isotope/beryllium at time of Maunder minimum suggests we should be looking at weakening magnetosphere, especially weak spot mapped by ESA SWARM and NASA Goddard data. Radiation levels over time have been measured to show increase in high intensity UV rays which cause sin damage much more quickly than previous decades.

      It works for some of them but not all. The whole of geology and seismology is still valid and the pressure will build up and release no matter what. However it appears that for the largest earthquakes, the earth may like to have a little help triggering the release of that much pressure.

        Point is, I still am uncertain about one thing: why are the quakes in rare locations increasing, yet the sun’s going to take a quick break?
        I have no doubts your researches will give a slap to mainstream media and scientists, and although i recognize it’s something that requires so much time, and love, you guys are doin’ it really good.
        And i’m not questioning the great quakes of our time, i’m questioning the smaller ones, like the one hitting Utah today (12/07/2016), or like a week ago, when Southern Australia has been quite active, with a 5 pointer. Romania and Bosnia are getting active as well, staying in the range of mag 3-4, and Russia too, with some 5.5 here and there.
        And as i mentioned before, the sun as we know is headed towards a minimum, if not a Grand one. So if the energy output is calming, does the sun really trigger those weird-placed quakes with CHs?

        Also, something i’ve missed along the path:
        Do CMEs have something to do about quakes? Since they should induce a good amount of electricity and.. radiation? i guess?
        Maybe i’m heading off topic 😀

          They are only increasing for the time being. The coronal hole upticks are usually with magnitude, but sometimes they prefer rare locations like M4/M5 the west coast of the US, the North Pole, Australia, Europe, etc. Why? Not nearly as good of an idea as I have about how the pattern works. CMEs and solar flares are easy targets for these ideas, but the simple fact is that they just don’t work. The IMF is special because it has such large-scale influence, but it often does not have to deal with earth’s magnetic field – for example, FTEs on these lines by-pass the field and directly pour into the atmosphere. Lots of good questions Luca – we don’t always have the answers 🙂

          That is an interesting point about earthquakes in diverse places and the sun’s sleeping. I don’t know how Mr. Davidson feels about prophesy but it sounds much like the description of the end times in the Bible. I am not implying that these fulfill the prophesy but is our knowledge of the sun / earth interaction sufficient to explain what the prophesy reveals is to come? Conversely, do we ignore the prophesy like Mr. Love ignores Mr. Davidson’s challenge and go blindly on toward destruction. I have found the Bible is very true about people and their relationship to each other and God. Those that find fault in the Bible usually compare themselves to others not God. Yet I wonder what all y’all would do when the prophesy comes? For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. (John 3:17)

    Is this model and the Disaster app only for a global earthquake watch or can it be broken down to regions (West Coast or Japan)? Is it possible to give a warning to certain regions with this science?

    • Ben Davidson

      If we get wide enough distribution it should be able to signal some of the events. Until that happens there won’t be good location warnings because it is the phone itself that send in the magnetometer data. The goal is indeed to get there and we have many other ideas we’re developing to compliment the one set to work for this app. Welcome to the journey 🙂

        If you were to incorporate Dutchsinse’s methodology of Earthquake predictions into your disaster app , You would be able to give regions and locations to watch out for in the prediction of Earthquakes.I realize that you have a love/hate relationship with this channel , ( I can remember one of your earliest videos imploring him to continue uploading his videos ) perhaps hate is too strong a word lets say severe difference of opinion.Dutch has really refined his observations / methodologies in his predictions over the years and has been right more often than not.Not only has he been able to predict magnitudes of Earthquakes he expects to occur but can greatly narrow down the area most likely to be struck.
        You have stated many times that your goal was to predict Earthquakes to save lives , may this not be the perfect time to put away silly grudges and collaborate on a more precise app that not only shows conditions being favourable for a large Earthquake via observations on our Star but where the Earthquake is most likely to strike via observations of movements below our feet. A wise man once stated , “As above , so below”

          Nothing he predicts can save lives. Blot’s method only predicts quakes triggered by other quakes, almost always smaller. I predict the big ones, he uses Blot’s law to predict the aftershocks and transmigrated energy… 19 others do this on the internet and Dutch is the only one claiming he invented it. I prefer those who give credit, especially when they are much more accurate than Dutch, and don’t do things like call out Washington State and then claim a SoCal quake is a hit. M4s and M5s don’t impress me… We get M6s 7s and 8s

    I just started the theories you have and your show. Your more than plausible than others for sure..
    The question I have is due to our earths wobble and the Sun Magnetics of our planet. Does this also have an effect with earth quakes and sinkholes forming upward, involving the sun,,its solar magnetics all together?
    It seems the Earth has stopped protruding at or bulging on the equator with our oceans.
    I do however use you locally,,,everytime there is high counts on your charts with solar activity,,,give us people in the High Rockies higher and faster wind and solar radiation levels. The rads are way higher than normal when the Sun is acting up. Its what i see. Call me a loon.
    I may be small time,,,,but trying like Hades to figure much out at once.

    Having followed Ben and this theory he’s been chasing for a few years, I’ve become convinced that he has the proper tools and understanding on how the sun can trigger large earthquakes. Although I’ve picked up a general understanding and I too can make pretty impressive predictions a week or two before a large earthquake happens, there are still a lot of questions that remain for me.

    I assumed that negative polarized coronal holes would have a greater effect on seismic activity verses a positive coronal hole but this isn’t always the case. Nor is it a sure thing for predicting the intensity of the aurora (which is an assumption both NOAA and NASA state). The factors that Ben has deducted to raise awareness or when to stand down are still puzzling to me. I think a more thorough explanation as to when and why we can expect a heightened chance of a large earthquake verses a similar event where expectations are less likely.

    The greatest question of all is, “Ok great, we can guess an approximate time for a large earthquake but what good does that do if we don’t know where it will strike?” I’ve struggled with understanding the signs and it doesn’t help that the Ionospheric Total Electron Count and the Outgoing Longwave Radiation charts have ‘after the fact’ updates. How can we better predict “where”?

    Given the fact Ben has helped me to understand how to make pretty decent predictions (to the point that my friends take my predictions seriously), I think the USGS could at the very least hear him out. It’s not hocus pocus and the very basis of IMF on a molten iron core should at the very least be understood as plausible. A refrigerator magnet holding up a child’s drawing proves there is a cause and effect between the two.

    Besides, the USGS cannot predict an earthquake. I’m 43 years old and I spent most of my life in California “ducking for cover” under my school desk practicing for the event of the “big one”. All I ever heard was “the big one is coming!!” When? “Anytime. Sometime between now and the next hundred years.” That isn’t a prediction. That’s a crop dusting guess which does nothing to help prepare the public for anything. Being so sure that the sun has no effect on earthquakes as well as completely incompetent on predicting an earthquake, the problem lies with the USGS.

    UNTIL the USGS can give us a timely prediction of an earthquake, they should not be so quick to close the books they have yet to fully read and make assumptions based on the introduction alone. Science after all is based on the scientific method not egos. Ben has proven his steps in using the scientific method and is offering the USGS to verify this theory by handing over the very tools to do so for the benefit of everyone, not just one group’s ego who is afraid they might be proven wrong. It isn’t about who is right or wrong. It is about understanding, preparedness and prevention.

      The main problem with timely, and I believe location, prediction is the 2 week data delay on the bulk of SPF info. Which is in the hands of those experts.

    If the Sun does not cause earthquakes, then how do you explain the observable evidence?

    If the Equatorial current sheet is thin and when we pass through the current sheet during a solar sector boundary crossing we experience quakes and would this explain why sometimes we do not experience quakes due to positioning outside the sheet as we pierce in and out of this sheet.

    Any change in polarity within the Equatorial current would effect everything within the current sheet.

    We know we cross these connection conduits the planets have to the sun and these sometimes cause quakes but not always.

    I am wondering if the SSBC play a role in this part of the eb and flow.

    Being a former soldier & married to a Filipino, I’d been observing world wide weather, earthquake & solar websites for many, many years. When Suspicious Observers began daily broadcasts of this relevant data consolidated & concisely packaged into 2 – 5 minutes each. I discovered it right away. When he gave up his career I became a subscriber & have followed the progression from the realization of the interrelationship between certain solar activity & major seismic events through confirmations to realization that an interactive mobile phone application may soon allow for lives to be saved by using the corollaries presented. There are other means that seem to come close to this level of accuracy, such as Stan Deyo’s tracking of certain temperature anomalies. Unfortunately, the Government took the data offline when he was becoming too accurate. As a former Intelligence Analyst, I respect these men for being transparent and accountable as they seek repeatable, verifiable means to save lives & property~

    Hi. Im Not an expert but I’m learning and have learned a lot from you and those like you. So here is what I think it might be, what about this interstellar energy cloud that is entering our solar system? This maybe affects our sun and everything else.

      As much as you’re learning, Suzana, I’m learning too. Your remark on the interstellar energy cloud in your comment reminded me of a recent report about a possibly near future event:

      “The Law of One perspective is that this is a natural event that promotes evolution and Ascension throughout the universe on naturally-repeating cycles of time. The most scientific and pragmatic of these “secret syndicates” believe the entire surface area of the Sun’s corona is about to mass eject. They believe the Sun will then go almost completely dark for a number of days before it re-awakens into a new state of equilibrium”.

      The complete article is here: http://prepareforchange.net/2016/08/16/corey-goode-intel-update-part-1/

      There’s an expectation of a Big Sneeze in the Galactic Center, affecting our Solar System by using the Sun as a lens,
      causing it to follow with a 2nd Big Sneeze (this is my description of what’s supposed to occur) This might be related to the interstellar energy cloud coming our way. Yes, I’m present on planet Earth while I write this comment 😉

    Morning Ben and group,

    This is very exciting and the process has indeed taken on shape and form. The idea of this and as an extension the Disaster App is truly an amazing achievement. There is one thing however that maybe missing (perhaps on my side). If the sun’s magnetic fields help trigger massive earthquakes and hence can give rise to a prediction model, how does that help in an early warning situation? Is it enough to say there maybe an Earth rumbling today?

    The model not only needs to explore the possibility but also probability. That would lead to what other information (seen or unseen) is (readily) available to connect the dots (or earth spots if you will). Or, what are the common denominators from solar incident to seismic activity? Where is the current measurable cliff?

    Knowing there maybe and pinning that to hemispheric probability would naturally be a next step. The observable pattern(s) may lead to addition variables in this specific pursuit for knowledge (even if working backwards). On this exploratory matter, what are the next steps and if you could speak with any governmental agencies what would be needed\requested (in) data\information to move forward?

    The above questions are primarily for ponderance only.

    Keep up the good work. Many are 0bserving…

In such an Action there is/ are an Electrical Field Generated that IS Felt Throughout the Surrounding area Within its Reach ! How Far Does This field Espand is Only With- held by the Size of the Magnets that is present. At the Sun/Star Level of such thought is Where We as a People have LIMITED Knowledge and are Just now Begining to understand at which level this Enormous and Powerful field can and could be! In lue of such understanding ,I Have came to understand that ALL of OUR Entirety IS effected by the Constant Push and Pull of the Magneticsphere that Keeps US at a Constant in relative terms , of course .

    Mr. Davidson, You were witness to an unknown object caught on an I.S.S. camera, which then cut away their broadcast, abruptly, on July 17th, 2016. Your broadcast on 25 Oct. 2014 caught multiple U.F.O.’s crossing in front of the sun, which startled you (I think) and you asked if anyone might have information, as to what this unknown sight might be. Did you get any response to this inquiry from either of these events?? Do you believe in U.F.O.’s?? Do you think the scientific community is being silenced by world governments on this subject, for whatever reason??

    Whilst I am no Phd, I have to hand it to Ben for putting this essential news into a context that even an eighth grader can follow. Even with my limited knowledge, I can foresee the practical use and saving of hundreds, if not thousands of lives over time. Even though I reside in another part of the world, I have come to see and understand that this field of work needs to be thoroughly researched, defined and implemented as a ‘true science’.

    If the powers that be are truly genuine and sincere, this wealth of information cannot go unnoticed.

    Dr Love, do you have the best interest of the human race at heart, or do you just wish to continue issuing hot air and trivial statements to inflate your own ego? I mean no disrespect, yet if you cannot see the valid data and the importance of Ben’s work, I am afraid you will surely see a rebuke of your so called ‘best in the world status’.

    Would you rather leave a legacy that is being handed to you on a platter, or to be remembered as the man who passed up the opportunity of a life time and not be remembered at all……sounds like a tough decision for someone as intellectual as your esteemed good self. Come on mate, show us the brilliance you posess and accept the challenge in good faith and build upon the undeniable evidence that has has already undertaken. What have you got to lose?

    Ben, It is with humble thanks that I wish you well and good fortune with bringing this information into the public eye.

    Eyes forward, fear erased, keep the momentum my friend…..

    When change needs to happen there is always resistance.

    For example, it is just as hard to enforce a retraining order. They are easy to get but enforcing one is not always a guarantee. The paper gets lost in a pile on somebody’s desk or the man power to handle the issue is delegated elsewhere and meanwhile the worst can happen.

    One needs to endure a long repetitive process of knocking on the door to get someone to notice when it comes to the government and change- even when it’s a matter of life and death…

    Dr. Love’s tenure at the USGS lowers his status as a top geophysicist especially when he seems to be selling out to a political agenda. Most people who work for government agencies are what I call ‘pension sell outs’ who are looking for an easy road to retirement. I know this plan well as both of my parents took that road which taught me that the ethical principals of this path find much conflict.

    In my opinion our distaste should be more focused upon the institution itself as a whole however this focus upon Dr. Love may force him to choose in earnest to help us change the institution for the better or demolish his credibility further.

    Its an electric universe as you previously said and all the bodies are connected throughout the Galaxy and solar system. When the planets are aligned in certain alignments and positions has an effect on our sun and planet. Please check this out as it does not debunk your theory but completes it. Cheer’s !

    A question, Ben. What’s being displayed or suggested to perhaps take place at the equator where the lines are red to the north … blue to the south … in the image shown for one video there … of the solar polar fields?

    In other words what’s suggested to be occurring at the equator line where blue and red “touch”? Where red turns blue or vice versa, if you like … if the question makes sense … and is there a red direction and/or a blue direction, there … for whatever the lines represent?

    See the image for one of the videos … right hand side part way down …

    Or at 2:11 or so here:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtlEeqPIMpU images there at 2:11 seem to be a cross section of a tube torus … just trying to understand the suggested dynamic taking place at the equator there , i.e., where one direction the lines are red … the other direction the lines are blue … does something polarize or split at the equator … left as red … right as blue … or something like that?

      This is an uncertain diagram that is best-guess. If you know how they say the earth’s magnetic field actually prefers coming out of one pole and going into the other, it is thought that similar processes might work at the heliospheric level. This is part mainstream science and part our best guess and going another step. We DO know that the IMF/SPF run through and along the outside of the current sheet and modulate a great deal of both its physical and magnetic character.

        Adding on- that specific diagram is overly simplified so that we can demonstrate the annotated facts. The sequence where the fields actually bend out and ride along the current sheet (hinted in previous reply) is more accurate. This is merely meant to show which fields are stronger and which are weaker, and if you think about coronal holes that cross the equator, you know that sometimes those portions would intrude across that center line, just as sometimes they are confined to the poles and wouldn’t stretch up like that to the equator at all. Either way, the point of that graphic is the oscillation back and forth so that one may understand the ~1 year cycle of SPF data that occurs within the larger ~11 year cycle.

          OK; thx. I gather then that there’s an oversimplification of some kind with the diagram … still leaves me with the question what the demarcation at the equator results from … or perhaps illustrates … in other words, the red lines in one direction … the blue lines in the other … what are the attributes of each, i.e., of the blue and red lines … is a direction signified, perhaps … i.e., do the red lines point towards one pole, the blue the other … in which case would that mean field lines heading in at each pole … and if that’s the case … what heads in along those lines … and whatever that is … where was that created?

          • Ben Davidson

            If you take a look at the pfss images here: http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/ and the fields here: http://gong.nso.edu/data/magmap/pfss.html you may begin to understand what we’re seeing.

          • Cam McNaughton

            Did look at those, thx, Ben; that’s a step beyond me, in any case; just trying to understand what may be happening at the equator line of the images first referenced, i.e., where the red and blue lines touch or perhaps one direction the lines curving up and into a pole are red, the other direction, the same lines being blue. The tube torus cross section, I gather, meant to illustrate a magnetic field, but perhaps so, then, does the infinity sign do the same. For the sun, though, what happens at the equator line seems to be the solar plane or disk, where the planets generally reside; likewise, for a galaxy, there is the galactic plane where the various stars / solar systems arise … so something fundamental goes on at that equator line, out from the center point of the star, or our sun, in this case … to the solar boundary, I take it … that equator line also being the solar plane or disk … where the planets are found … those, each with their own equator dynamics, no doubt … nothing shows, however, dynamic wise at the equator line in the simplified image at 2:11 in the video, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtlEeqPIMpU , yet something fundamental has to be taking place there … perhaps from the center or core of the sun … out to the solar boundary … for those lines to be red one direction and blue the other … even if the diagram is simplified …

    Hi Ben,

    I’m following your news for a quite a few now from Bucharest, Romania.

    I’m not a fan of the conspiracy theory but after watching your channel and theories evolving only to end up with this challenge… I have the feeling “they” are now re-enforcing the NDAs their employees have signed years before. 😀

    “They” must also bang their heads against the walls for not averaging the data on a 20 days basis, or – even better – on a monthly basis maybe.

    Coming back to Earth, releasing predictions on such matter is extremely delicate, as you already said it, so I bet they won’t allow anybody to play with their precious raw, live data. 🙁

    However, the theory must be investigated and I fully support you on your endeavor!

    Great work, Ben & Co., great work!
    🙂

    Mr. Love- a person I never heard of, so I look him up. Pour through all of the ‘cool’ credentials and get to the bottom. Mr. Love your website shows you have not published a paper since February 2016 (unless you don’t update it) and that paper was not exactly a scientific one, it simply restated what has already been stated by numerous entities and seems more of an appeal than a paper. Anyway… Mr Davidson has published something ‘scientific’ EVERYDAY since February in more than one social media/outlet…. no cool credentials required. Where are you? Do you have a link to provide to catch me up to date? Never mind the challenge to speak up, just catch up. Instead of hush-hush hallway lip service, why don’t you just publish a “scientific” paper that proves the entire theory wrong? Just the facts Sir, no opinion. Just publish some factual evidence which lays the theory to rest. I personally do not care how many credentials you have, or the degree of acceptance via the flowchart hierarchy, or how much grant money you get; I do care about your ability as a ‘cool credentialed scientist’ to answer a simple challenge/request, from not just A person, but A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE. Most scientist I know work at answering public concerns since it is the public that supports their work. I see the Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) System gets a total of $8,200,000 in 2017. And what direction will you go with that while Mr. Davidson works off a shoe string budget and clearly makes his direction known?

    Have been meaning to ask what the aurora creating incoming energy from coronal hole streams is supposed to do to the planet’s energy, “heat wise”, i.e., besides create earthquake and volcanic activity upticks? A warming from the inside out, do you think … energy in the poles and out the equator, mostly, i.e., between the tropics (simply due to angular momentum?) … hmm … this in spite of sun spot and solar flare drop off?

    AND … if that continues to occur over time … that heat expanding north and south from the two tropic lines, eventually …

    AND … atmospheric mixing, impacted as well … as a result? Coronal hole occurrence, increasing … is there any historical coronal hole occurrence data? Global warming, then, from the inside out … as a result?

      Will add a few notes about Earth heat in here, at least as suggested in a paper by Miles Mathis … ah well, lots to ponder … and work through …

      “NEW PAPER 3/25/2012. What Causes the Earth’s Heat? Charge. I calculate the total heat content of the Earth straight from the fundamental charge.” – Miles Mathis … This excerpt is from page 8 of 10 in the PDF … albeit, can’t seem to place the relevant diagram in here:

      “I just found that diagram, but it hit me like a sack of bricks. Why? Because it is direct proof of my charge theory. I am going to add it to about 30 of my old papers. Here we have a diagram taken straight from data (NOAA ERBE, 1985) that shows more longwave radiation at the equator and less at the poles. What have I been saying for the past five years or more? The Earth is recycling charge and charge peaks in the infrared (infrared is longwave). Every particle and body in the universe—from the electron to the galaxy—is a charge reactor. It is a machine that recycles charge. It most cases, it does this by spinning. A spinning sphere in a charge field immediately and naturally sets up charge potentials, and if that sphere is porous to charge, the charge comes in the poles and is emitted at the equator. The Earth does this just like the proton does and the Sun does and the galaxy does. We can SEE it doing this in this diagram! Look at the hole at the south pole. Also look up “coronal hole.” Coronal holes are most often at the Solar poles, just like this. This is where photons are going IN. “ – Miles Mathis

    Not sure how the level of the Earth’s magnetic field is measured … what levels of what energy … what instruments are used … but here are a few thoughts to consider … perhaps the Earth’s magnetic field is indeed strengthening … but to higher levels of energy (which is radiation across a spectrum?)… which higher levels of such energy / radiation the present instruments used to measure the Earth’s magnetic field strength wouldn’t measure or detect … i.e., those instruments are not set to detect such, or perhaps are unable to measure such … and what those instruments do detect, is dropping … i.e., as the levels of energy of the field are strengthening … into a higher level or range of energy not measured by the present instruments … just a thought to throw into the mix … notes about this, that I’d come across elsewhere:

    “Here is another thought to consider. We continue to hear from many different reports that what science “calls” earth’s magnetic field is weakening.

    “Humans can only detect a tiny spectrum of what science has named the electromagnetic spectrum, which is actually gradient levels of radiation.

    “What happens when the radiation human technology can detect changes to a higher vibration rate, and a higher level of radiation? It is no longer detectable via the technology that is detecting it.

    “The so called earth magnetic field is not weakening, it is getting “STRONGER”, as in stronger, higher levels of radiation.”

    Hmmm … always lots to ponder and consider …

    IF the Earth’s magnetic field strength is perhaps actually strengthening, and doing so perhaps unbeknownst to our instruments …. perhaps into higher levels of energy or radiation that current monitoring may not be set to detect … or perhaps able to detect … is there any evidence of that? Would one piece of evidence for that potentially be, that heavy streams of incoming energy … from coronal hole streams for instance … get handled well, or more easily than perhaps might be expected … by the earth’s magnetic field?

    studying gravitational fields as well as their affect in the solar system I began piecing together the puzzle of climate change. I have been able To utilize reductive logic to see a clearer picture of how co2, sea level rise, polar magnetic destabilization and the eventual magnetic reversal all have one thing in common.they all precede an ice age, or ask like to call it, nature’s atmospheric maid. how else could atmospheric gas be deposited in bedrock save the wonders of the other gasses like h2o. i have been following the breadcrumbs since elenin caused the tsunami that led to the Fukushima meltdown, and thanks to Ben I no longer feel like a drunk person from some old Irish novel.

    October 22md / 23rd – Earth facing quiet, has a solar flare / sun spot dampening effect (?); on the other hand, Earth facing coronal holes … welcome mat is out (?); hmm … coronal holes, opening as they turn to face Earth … closing as they depart? Seemed to do that last week … seems to be doing that again … at least on the opening as facing side … will have to see what happens as the coronal hole openings turn away …
    Cycles of coronal hole Earth facing openings, if recurring … then regular loads of charge / energy / radiation to the ionosphere; that, coupled with strong atmospheric mixing in the layers of the atmosphere as that solar energy hits first at the equator and moves from there to the poles, auroras resulting at each pole; the poles, themselves, perhaps pulling energy / charge / radiation in to the planet via the poles … that, latterly, heating the Earth … from the inside out?
    Meanwhile, atmospheric mixing churning energy/radiation down from higher to lower layers; tropical storms result that focus that energy / radiation, into the lithosphere / ground, potentially resulting in Earthspot earthquakes where the conditions may be right, beneath such storms?
    All the makings there, if such patterns are discernible and verifiable … of greater predictability, it seems? Hmm …

    I do have a question: why is Africa or Southern Africa never mentioned?
    I almost fell to the floor when you reported and had pictures on a devistating hailstorm in South Africa! Thank you for that one.
    About a week or so ago we had an earthquacke in the little Karoo,to the Southern coust. It was widely spread and included the very old and wonderful caves: The Cango Caves near a town called : Oudtshoorn. but spread so far it even went through the mountains and to the Southern coast cities like:George; Knysna; etc. I would’ve liked to see it on your programme and maybe learn more about it.

    THIS FABLE – – EXPLAINS A LOT

    Once upon a time …
    The king called on the royal weather forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours. The royal weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain for at least 4 days.

    So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On the way he met a farmer on his donkey. Upon seeing the king the farmer said, “Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area.”

    The king was polite and considerate, he replied: “Thanks for your concern, but don’t worry. It’s not going to rain today. I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and experienced professional. And besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him.”

    So the king continued on his way. However, a short time later a torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen were totally soaked and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a shameful condition.

    Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the professional. Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster.

    The farmer said, “Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting. I obtained the information about rain today from my donkey. If I see my donkey’s ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain very soon.” So the king hired the donkey instead.

    And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the government and occupy its highest and most influential positions.

    The practice is unbroken to this day…

    Coronal hole presents … Earth Facing Welcome presents … once again; again, as a coronal hole moves more to the Earth facing position … it opens; could be a pattern (?); if so, increased solar wind, if absorbed rather than deflected … a boost to the Earth’s magnetic field … or polarity energy? AND … if so … are the measuring devices here set to measure increases in energy or radiation … i.e., in higher ranges of the spectrum of such energy … for isn’t that what energy is, radiation … also, what the solar wind stream is, radiation … not a bad, thing, either?

    If so … suggestions may be that the planet will grow in size, over time … it’s rate of rotation may increase, over time … it’s axis move off it’s present tilt, gradually … all, over time? Throw a bunch more energy at a spinning sphere, doesn’t that translate into increased angular momentum?

    Hmm … so much to ponder … and watch for … in the meantime, here at Earth … it’s a matter of shake, rattle and roll … at times … with or without electricity down the road … i.e., to the degree, at least, that infrastructure may eventually get impacted negatively; technology perhaps being the most challenged by such energy influx …

    It’s a mixing bowl … energy in at the poles … pushes cold from the cold (at the moment) poles, towards the equator; over time, albeit … temperatures balance out, the warm warming the cold and vice versa … a lot of weather and atmospheric mixing taking place, in the process …

    IF indeed the sun continues to open coronal holes on an ongoing basis .. sun spots or solar flares gone, even … more energy will stream in from the sun … that energy hits at the equator and shifts North and South to each pole … and unless it all gets deflected … if taken in … energy dynamics resulting …

    IF in at the poles … it will warm at each pole … yet cold air there will also head further south as that energy in at the poles drives the jet stream and expands its range … dipping towards the equator more from each pole … polar vortex, anyone?

    IF such coronal hole stream increases take place over time as has been the case of late … it could be the history books can be tossed … at least for a time … in other words … what’s happened in the past can be discounted for now … At some point, if such a point is reached … AND there is a mass extinction … i.e., tied to life forms or whatever animates them … leaving … then watch for a massive drop in energy … and THEN ..an Ice Age …

    In the meantime … watch for global warming to actually take place … over time; driven by more solar energy streaming in from the sun … NOT via sun spots and solar flares though … and not driven by man’s energy usage activities, per se …

    This global warming coming from the inside out, as a result of more energy in to the planet … so watch for the energy inside the planet to increase … more volcanoes …. more earthquakes … BUT in the atmosphere and its layers … a lot of weather mixing dynamics, as well, as energy coming in via the layers of the atmosphere also gets integrated …

    In the process … lots of weather to contend with … AND areas usually cold (the poles?) warming … areas usually warmer … cooling … the equator, actually heating, as well … THAT, as cold air from the poles gets pushed away from the poles by the higher energy at the poles … by a jet stream that heads south … the heat up at the equator a bit different dynamic.

    If the planet warms from the inside as more energy heads in at the poles … and that heat mostly gets radiated out at the equator … that, mostly between the tropic lines of Capricorn and Cancer … watch for the heat at the equator to rise and the heat to expand, as well, North and South of the Tropic lines themselves … towards each respective pole …

    So, heat at the equator and the poles … to be expected if there’s more coronal hole driven energy coming in from the sun … AND between the equator and the poles … lots of atmospheric mixing … each Tropic line essentially migrating toward the pole above … over time …

    More energy in, more angular momentum, as well … the planet ought to speed up, over time … gradually … even right its tilt … over time … AND likely expand in size …

    What a time to live in! ;-)

    It is weird and yet logical that this model seems to be working. It’s like I tell people the sun may have to do with earthquakes here on earth as well as other Crazy weather events and they act like I’m crazy. As if the idea that our planet is connected to the sun is just rediculous, I don’t understand how people can accept that we are somehow magnetically latched on to the sun but at the same time will deny that the things the sun does somehow doesn’t effect everything around it. They obviously know nothing about the butterfly effect. Thank you for your dedication to understanding space weather events! I really enjoy that you actually do a ton of fact checking and that you never say anything is true if you can’t prove it and you always state that it’s your opinion when talking about how you see things with theories. It really means a lot to someone like myself who has far less knowledge on the matter, to be able to learn about this more and more each day as you learn about it. I feel like I am part of the new frontier just by observing. Keep up the awesome work brotha.

    Hi Ben;

    I’m a retired USGS seismologist and while working created and ran the Prediction Monitoring and Evaluation Program for a couple of years.
    Now I have recreated and improved the program to evaluate people like yourself who have ideas about how to predict quakes.

    All of them (so far) have failed the test.

    I’d like to examine your methods but your predicted areas are too vague to establish probabilities. Thus I doubt the statistics you have quoted in your published papers. Is there any way to establish exact areas for your predictions and is there any comprehensive list of them?

    Ben;

    I’ve done a tentative exam using the table of values linked here on your site. The hard part was determining the peaks and troughs from the numbers. I used the last column’s numbers, determined the range (positive and negative) and defined a peak or trough period as anything within 5 units of either extreme.
    There were 210 of them so 2100 of the 15552 days were involved which is 0.14 of the days.
    Since there were 47 mag 8+ quakes in this time period, chance would be 6.5 hits and in fact only 8 of the 47 were within a peak or trough sector.
    Odds on that are about 1/3 by chance.
    So unless I’ve done something wrong and you can explain why, I find your method without merit.

    Ben;

    Further examination shows that my simple identification of peaks and troughs doesn’t correspond to your method, which seems to identify innumerable conditions as significant.
    Therefore I withdraw my comments until I can better identify your windows.

    For a second pass I defined a peak or trough as any time the numbers reversed direction. This gave many more windows but the result was no better.

    Now given the 13 ways you have defined windows I can only suggest that you have tailored them to the quakes.

    Third pass.

    I realized that the last column is the smoothed average of both n and s traces so I should be using them individually.

    This resulted in twice as many hits but the increased probability compensated for it and the number of hits was exactly what chance would expect.

    I still don’t see how you’re getting so many hits from these data.

    Due to a hard disk problem I lost my program to evaluate your method so I rewrote it.

    I copied the Wilcox data from 1976/5/31 to 2018/8/19, 1543 listing of solar info. and compared it to the NEIC catalog for mag 8+ quakes, 44 in all.

    I defined a peak as any time the north or south line contained 3 consecutive readings where the middle value was larger than the other two.
    This may be overkill as it accepts secondary peaks on the side of a slope.

    There were 499 cases where at least one of the traces had such a peak. This gives the odds on hitting such a peak as 499/1453 or 0.323

    Then the 44 quakes were inserted in the proper line, resulting in 10 cases where a quake corresponded to a peak in one or the other traces.
    But with those odds you should get 14.2 hits.

    Thus I conclude your method fails.

    Since you use 7+ in your paper and videos I did the same.

    This resulted in many more hits but the increased probability caused the results to be the same; fewer hits than expected.

    Moreover, it can’t be used to predict since the data isn’t available in advance.

    Your “all on one page” plots make it look better than it is so I added a plotting section to my program which allow one to scroll thru the data in 2 year steps.

    This makes it clear whether a quake hits a peak or not. You might think close is good enough but the steps are 10 days long so what looks close on your plot might actually be 20 days away.

    The “Consensus” scientists are now saying that “Global Warming” is causing water concentrations that are moving the magnetic north poles to move at a faster rate.
    I believe they have it backwards and the Space Weather is causing the poles to move which is causing disruptions to typical weather patterns. What is your opinion on global weather changes?

    I’ve done a tentative exam using the table of values linked here on your site. The hard part was determining the peaks and troughs from the numbers. I used the last column’s numbers, determined the range (positive and negative) and defined a peak or trough period as anything within 5 units of either extreme.
