- aaomidi 3y agoWell there’s a 15 day delay between them so, I think it’s be harder to have the opposite :D
- lanstin 3y agoThe article mentions that a thing could change the core magnetic stuff, which deflects cosmic rays, and triggers other changes that in two weeks percolate up to an earthquake. This is a statistical finding, needs a theory to explain. I mean it could be some weird trajectories in a chaotic fluid flow of liquid iron in the core that causes both.
- kansface 3y agoI suppose some earthquakes could be kicked off by changes in fluid flow, but also, 2 weeks of data is enough degrees of freedom to find any relationship you'd like.
- bckr 3y agoOne of the main hypotheses is that the earth’s dynamo (molten, magnetically active core) is emitting/redirecting the radiation.
