after decades of failed attempts and unsubstantiated claims about earthquake prediction, a certain scepticism is warranted and Paul Johnson, a geophysicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, is indeed playing down the predictive potential of what he is up to it is nevertheless the case that, as part of investigations intended to understand the science of earthquakes better, he and his team have developed a tool which might make forecasting earthquakes possible. Do you think that tremors can be predicted like daily weather ?
