Indian scientists recently found a scientific method of predicting earthquakes quite accurately. The great quake of Sumatra along Andaman fault line on December 26th, could have been predicted if the world would have taken these scientists seriously.
If this theory is true, we are in for many mega earthquakes soon. When two or more planets, moon and earth and sun come in one line, these mega earthquakes happen. The sun influences the rotation of earth. Now imagine you are in a train or bus. If all on a sudden the driver pushes the brake, you tend to move forward in a jerk. Exactly same thing happens when two or more planets line up with earth and pulls from the other side. The tectonic pressures built up get released in specific points of epicenter.
In this case Jupiter, Venus, Moon, Earth, Sun came in one line and the scientists predicted on the dot the earthquake. Unfortunately the world did not take then seriously enough.
It is a fascinating theory and according to the inventors in is correct 99% times in the last 100 years. The ancient Mayans, Egyptians, Chinese and Indians all used to get very concerned on planetary alignments because something catastrophic happened.
The Indian scientists were predicting many earthquake around India.
Here is the full text of their theory:
PLANETARY CONFIGURATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION

Earthquakes really pose little direct danger to a person. But due to earthquakes there are some effects like ground shaking, ground displacement, liquefaction, flooding (tsunami), and fire which are hazardous to human beings. The hazards mentioned above are avoidable if prediction can be made early, which would enable their mitigation, reduce damage to life and property drastically and facilitate precautionary measures by government and NGOs. Though there have been several attempts at earthquake prediction from different perspectives, this attempt aims at establishing planetary configurations as a definitive means of earthquake prediction. Also this study aims to establish the occurrence of earthquake precursors like fore shocks and change in ground water level with respect to planetary configurations.
When two or more than two planets, Sun and Moon are aligned more or less in line (0o or 180o) with the Earth, then the Earth would be caught in the middle of a huge gravity struggle between the Sun and the planets. The gravitational stresses would change the speed of the Earth in its orbit. When the speed of rotation of the earth changes the tectonic plate motion also gets affected, just as people collide with each other when the bus driver suddenly applies the brakes. The total angular momentum of planets involving in earthquake triggering mechanism can be calculated and the total force acting at the epicenter in the opposite direction to the rotation of the earth can also be determined. At the epicenter, the speed of rotation of the earth can be calculated with the help of available software. So the planetary forces acting in the opposite direction to the rotation of earth act as a triggering mechanism for the accumulated stress at faults and plate boundaries, to be released abruptly. This does not, however, mean that earthquakes will occur at all edges of the plate boundaries.
In order to trigger an earthquake in one particular place, two conditions should be satisfied. They are a) distance of epicenter from the planet position and b) Direction of force acting at the possible epicenter. From the analysis of “Most significant earthquakes” over past 100 years, it is inferred that the latitude, longitude and magnitude of the tremor is related to the distance from the planet and direction of planetary forces acting at any particular point. So the planetary positions can be used to predict the earthquakes in long term prospect and then by correlating the planetary positions and their forces with geology of that area, earthquakes can be predicted with fair accuracy with regard to latitude, longitude and magnitude at least a month before.
I wonder if we can dig up a link to them making a specifc prediction BEFORE the earthquake happened.
I think Miss Cleo has a better shot at predicting than these guys.
Ping!
So great, where will the next one be?
I bet last year none of the '2004' predictions included big earthquakes nor tusnamis but for 2005 they'll be a slew of them.
If the world wants us to be series about this, then use correct spelling.

series = serious ?
Wasn't there a large planetary alignment back in May 2000 - something like the six innermost planets? (I think that's where I first heard the word syzygy.) If I recall correctly, nothing happened.
I predict that you will be incorrect on that point.
Or did I just make that prediction come true???
The Jupiter effect may have been. But isn't there quite a bit of correlation with new/full moons?
Why didn't they give some examples of past events that prove their theory?
Except for all the hippies, old and new, holding "harmonic convergence" events. It was more bizarre than the average halloween.
It seems that some people want to believe the world was created about the turn of the last century. They are wrong. These types of things happen with some regularity, geologically speaking.
The reason they are more pronounced now is that more people happened to live near this one. And even more happened to vacation near here.
Remember, one of the largest earthquakes in the US happened around St Louis, MO. Of course is was in the early 1800's. I wonder if they would be surprised to have another big one there today? I wonder if the folks are "prepared for it?"
Wrong. There was significant activity, mainly movement of New Age Nutters to "holy" sites around the world like the Egyptian pyramids, Mayan temples, Starbucks (?), et.al., for the purpose of....watching nothing happen.
