there's a growing number of unpopular seismologists figuring out that they can measure magnetic fields and watch the sun for the best signals of impending tremors places where this is a big problem, like there, will adopt this new understanding much sooner than those where they are so invested in Climate Change™️ they can't admit that the sun is so important it even drives earthquakes, and storms are nothing for ol sunny poo

Something I heard of that..!!... However this other developer hired by Mexico City govt seems to me like he's making a good time ripping the treasury and not caring too much if the city is teared apart (which is currently doing XD)

no, just that there is increasing amounts of research correlating seismic events with recordings of various electro/magnetic/solar measurements showing that there is usually quite a lot of warning before something happens one of the triggers of these events relates to dielectric electrostatic discharge causing piezoelectric effects in quartzite and other dielectric minerals in the soil literally they sometimes are set off by what amounts to an underground lightning discharge from one part of the ground to another across a weak point that causes a mass of rock to swell up suddenly and then release electricity the earth is a capacitor, and the sun is constantly streaming electrons and high energy particles at us that interact with our atmosphere and magnetic field and create electric potentials and charge up the earth's dielectrics, and these are a big part of what triggers all this seismic/volcanic stuff there was some recent video captured of volcano lightning too, and it clearly shows that the electricity comes OUT of the earth and discharges into the sky through the hot smoke of the volcano... meaning the earth itself is full of electricity (this was what Tesla said too, long ago)

Interesting. Sounds right. I remember an engineering prof explaining grounding as the earth being basically an infinite capacitor. And on YouTube there's a channel called Electric Universe (I think) that says electricity moves through space, which is exactly the opposite of what's taught, and I don't see how it could be possible, but the effects certainly appear to demonstrate it. Electricity, as we understand it, needs a medium to move across. But this is great - if we're seeing causes and effects but can explain the connection, that means we're about to get better at physics, which means I'll soon take possession of my moon, Ganymede.

electricity is conducted via magnetic fields and as plasma you wanna see something cool, search youtube for a video showing that flames are more conductive than air, he rigs a tazer, bends the electrodes wide so they don't arc normally and then shows that you put a flame between them and they arc plasma carries extra electrons and when this substance hits a positively charged material (like the atmosphere) the electrons cross to balance the potential, and then there is also types of radiation that actually cause electric currents to form in materials, like ultraviolet, which especially adds electrons to oxygen and halides, which then become ionised and that's where we get the ozone layer from the auroras are caused by electrical excitation of the neon, argon and some other gases in the atmosphere by electricity brought by plasma from coronal mass ejections and the stuff about magnetic fields, that's essentially induction... i don't think any of this stuff is really that far out of what is already understood in physics, it's just that certain people don't want these directions to be explored, so their 'investments` in marxist ideological bullshit result in maximum sales of their companies' products... just like how they pushed everyone onto rapeseed and sunflower oil by demonizing butter and tallow and lard, and we are still to see the reckoning on this, even though in our circles this is starting to become common knowledge (especially the sunburn issue)
