December 30 based on quackery - December

Readers of 2Bangkok.com will be familiar with many articles
we have run on quack products and concepts from the West being
utilized in Asia by the gullible. The Indian tsunami/earthquake
warning from yesterday is one such example:
False
tsunami alarm sparks panic in Indian Ocean region - AP,
December 31, 2004
...Hours later, the Indian government backed down, saying
the alert was based on bad information from a little-known
U.S. firm. But the confusion and mass panic that ensued from
the false alarm highlights the lack of a coordinated tsunami
warning system in the region.
..."The whole confusion has occurred because information
was received by our department by ... Terra Research. (They)
... claimed they have some sensors and equipment through which
they suggest there was a possibility of an earthquake,"
he told a televised press conference. "On the basis of
this communication, for anyone to reach a conclusion that
a tsunami will hit the eastern coast of India is unscientific,
hogwash and should be discarded."
However, Terra Research's Larry Park said his research facility,
which monitors seismic developments, believes another major
quake will hit Asia again.
"It was a tough decision, but it was at least important
to pass the information on. There is a good chance of a quake
coming, yes, we've got a few days' window," he said...
We looked up the 'little-known US firm,' Terra
Research and found a variety of pseudo science quackery.
They sell a "Command Center monitors telemetry data from
regional sensors and is able to accurately triangulate large
earthquakes hours in advance..."

Insight to the mystery of Ear Tones prior to Earthquakes
- how they occur and why
An incessant low frequency ‘hum’ tone has been torturing
residents in an area in the US in Taos, New Mexico, where the
noise often drives people crazy. Only heard by a few, called
human ‘hummers’, the low-pitched 30 to 80 Hz tone
is perceived as sound, but it hasn’t been found with sensitive
microphones or electromagnetic sensors. It has baffled researchers
for years, but ear tone research of tones prior to earthquakes
may unlock this mystery and may even possibly lead to an insight
into a remedy for Tinnitus – a constant ringing in the
ears that afflicts up to 50 million Americans.
Unlocking the mystery of 'Earthquake Clouds’ –
how they form & why – Are they accurate in prediction?
God's Firmament & the Earthquake
...This wrong turn formed an errant foundation our current physics
and science rests upon, starting from Albert Einstein (Einstein's
Postulates & special theory of relativity) to modern day
electromagnetic theory. This wrong turn will rock science to
its foundation when realized. It will shatter theories and rewrite
a century of books. Among the most devastating will be a crumbling
of modern astrophysical theory on formation of our universe
(big bang, age of, redshift, and more)...

ether is non-existent.
It is bizarre that the leadership of a nation of one billion
would be acting on information from a company like this. |
