The lady's heart is in the right place and she is full of fiery spirit---but her statements about earthquake weapons are hot air. Turkey has had earthquakes before. And there is a science called seismometry that can provide warning indicators. We knew that Mount St. Helens was working up to an eruption before it happened. That's why people were warned to get out of the area beforehand. Don't, out of ignorance, dismiss a science that has been around for a very long time---then embrace the idea of fantasy weapons.
Virology has been around a very long time. What's your point? How do you know they didn't cause Mt. St. Helens? Because it never occurred to you before?
And so has physics and all the other sciences that we rely on as valid means of inquiry and explanation. What's YOUR point?
How do I know "earthquake machines" didn't cause the Mount St. Helens eruption? What a brilliant question! How do I know underground gnomes didn't cause the Mount St. Helens eruption? How do I know that cosmic radiation didn't cause the Mount St. Helens eruption? How do I know that my unwashed socks didn't cause the Mount St. Helens eruption? Inquiring minds want to know!
You have an upside-down conception of how knowledge is obtained. We don't go around trying to prove negatives (a logical impossibility). We try to establish reasons for a positive explanation---or we keep looking. In the case of Mount St. Helens, it was working up to an eruption for months. We could measure the tilting and change of the mountain profile as the lava intruded beneath the mountain. We monitored the increasing seismic events. We monitored the increased outgassing from the old crater. We had plenty of warning from purely geological signs and portents. Your stupid challenge question indicates you don't know a thing about that eruption.
We didn't bother with bullshit hypotheses because our hands were full with all the facts and phenomena of nature in process. Secret, invisible, unknown, non-existent, sinister technology need not apply.
Yes. And back then was there talk of a machine that could cause earthquakes?
If there is a machine that can in fact cause earthquakes now, and that can be proven, and the timing of this particular earthquake is suspect for the reasons cited in this thread, where do you get off being so dismissive? What's your angle? We question everything on this sub. You think cause you took seismology in college that nobody is allowed to question the cause of earthquakes now? What the fuck is wrong with you?
If there is a secret society of gnomes who can cause earthquakes, and that can be proven, and the timing...etc. Of course, the problem with this "if" is that it is only an if, there is no proof, and the rest of it is nonsense. You question everything but your own zany fantasies. Your whole response to anyone who knows anything is "What the fuck do you know?" Evidently, more than you.
You have an explanation for the cause of earthquakes? Publish it and get a Nobel Prize in physics or geology. There have been earthquakes since before technology.
And by the way, when Mount St. Helens was erupting (which took place over a span of 2 months), nobody dreamed about the possibility of "earthquake machines." We were watching nature in action, at a scale no machine could match. Frankly, your "machine" idea would have been rightly regarded as lunacy.
I don 't know if earthquake machines exist. I do know my kids started going in circles on the outer part of a round swimming pool. It did not take long before water was spilling out of the pool. After I made them stop, water continued to swirl and spill out. They almost destroyed an above ground 24 foot by 4 foot deep pool.
Slosh. The effect of adding energy in a situation where there is a harmonic period to the motion. This is how we got real high using a swing set. Nothing to do with earthquakes. No harmonic motion.
