Khabarni in an effort to resurrect his theory that connects the movement of planets in the sky with earthquakes on Earth, the Dutch expert’s forecasts are once again being connected to the earthquake that occurred in Turkey today.
A few days ago, Dutch earthquake expert Frank Hoogerbeets declared that a remarkable geometric convergence between the planets would cause earthquakes between October 15 and 17.
He clarified in a video he uploaded to his “X” platform account that this convergence is symbolized by Mars and Venus becoming closer to the position of “right angles,” with the moon on the right side, making an angle with both Venus and Uranus, and the Earth situated between Venus and Uranus.
While social media followers hailed this as a new triumph for the Dutch expert, who rose to widespread renown following his claims of success in forecasting the February earthquake in Turkey, experts affirmed that his prediction, whether for the current earthquake or the one that occurred last year, lends no credence to his theory.
The National Institute for Astronomical and Geophysical Research’s head of the earthquake section, Sharif Al-Hadi, said Al-Ain Al-Akhbariya: “The Dutchman lied, even if his predictions were true, because they were nothing but a coincidence.”
He clarified that “the Dutch expert predicted an earthquake, but he did not specify its location or strength, and this is not a prediction, because earthquakes of varying degrees of strength occur daily, and for the prediction to be correct, he would have had to say the location and degree of strength.”
The Dutch forecaster said that the planets have an impact on Earth, but Anis Ahmed Bangash, who works in the Department of Earth Sciences at Quaid-i-Azam University in Pakistan, pointed to their locations and told Al-Ain Al-Akhbariya, “They are far from having any influence.”
He went on: “The only body that has an influence on the Earth is the moon, as it causes tidal waves, and this is the only scientifically proven thing, and there were theories indicating that the lunar tide has a limited influence on the occurrence of earthquakes, but their accuracy has not been proven yet, because the lunar tidal period is too short to cause any influence.”
He continued: “If we say this about the moon that is close to the Earth, it is logical that the effect of other planets is smaller, because they are far away from the Earth.”
As did Al-Hadi, he referred to Ho “coincidence” , stating: “This is the style of Hogerbeets and his colleagues, where they make predictions, and if the coincidence occurs and happens, they make noise about their predictions, and if it does not happen, they disappear a little, until they appear to us with a new prediction.”
Cairo is not persuaded to deploy a replacement ambassador to Tel Aviv by the current climate in the area.
