Better Earthquake Prediction? - A statement

Abstract Do all the inhabitants of the earth have to sit in complete
ignorance of where the next earthquake might occur? Absolutely
not. The use of fundamental math and physics can guide a way forward.
The rules of information theory are not even considered for most
problems. The recent event in Turkey where tens of thousands have
been killed and injured could have been better predicted than it
was. Geological experts have appeared in the media to proclaim that
better prediction is impossible. We do not agree!
Better earthquake prediction can be had. There is an electrical
flow field in the ground which very clearly responds to the
earth's crustal stress changes. This has been proven by several
well known and experienced scientists and engineers. These men
have used methods that they had developed for the analysis of
high speed airflow on airplanes. They were all involved in the
early days of aircraft development which led to today's transonic
and supersonic commercial and military aircraft.
Geologists are attempting to use the earth's electric and
electromagnetic field to predict quakes but they are not aware of
the classical mathematical and physical phenomena involved in
flow field analysis. There exists theoretical and experimental
data to prove that proper analysis of the earth's electrical flow
field will give better earthquake prediction. We, the Landers Search
Lab Corporation, have this data and we challenge all experts to
analyze our methods. To date none have. Only broad comments
without the benefit of careful scientific inspection of
the physics, math and computer programming we used have been made.
We realize that there are many who claim that they can predict quakes
by the barking of dogs or some other vague phenomena, but we are well
recognized experienced scientists and engineers. Please! Give us
a break!
