Notes For Mr. Bopp And Others Posted By EQF On September 21, 2023 The following are personal opinions. Before discussing the main topic here I would once again like to thank Mr. Bopp (wherever he is) for providing us with this forum so that we can all communicate regarding Earthquake Forecasting and other important subjects. It undoubtedly requires a fair amount of his time to provide us with such a service. INTERNET INFORMATION Mr. Bopp likely understands the following Internet information. Some of his site visitors probably do not at the present time. The following should help them understand this subject matter. They won’t need a science degree for that. As stated in my earlier Update note, I am presently creating Earthquake Forecasting computer code that will make it much easier for me to include PNG picture charts with these posts. At the moment this is a somewhat complex process that takes me a fair amount of time and effort. Making those charts easily available here should make it possible for Earthboppin site visitors to more easily understand what I am talking about with my Earthquake Forecasting data. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. THE IMPORTANT PART Some of those PNG picture charts will be ENORMOUS! However, because of the way that HTML code works, those PNG chart will not be stored on the Earthboppin Internet Server. Instead they will be stored on my OWN Internet Web site Server. They will largely not require the Earthboppin Internet Server to do any extra work. All it will be doing is telling the Earthboppin visitor’s PC to download and display the PNG files that are stored on my OWN Internet Web site server. It might appear to site visitors that the charts are store on the Earthboppin Intenet Web site server. That is not the case. The three computer systems that will be doing essentially all of the work with downloading and displaying those PNG chart will be: 1. The Earthboppin site visitor’s PC 2. The Earthboppin site site visitor’s Internet Server Provider It might be AOL or Comcast or Verison or some other widely used Internet Service Provider. It is the service that the PC user pays every month or so for Internet service. 3. My own Web site Internet Service Provider I pay them to store my PNG files on their servers and make them available to people who want to see them. My PERSONAL Internet Service provider has an extremely slow download speed. So it takes me a while to download or upload anything. However, my Web Site Internet Service Provider computers are EXTREMELY fast. If you have a fiber optics Internet connection and a fast Internet server, those enormous PNG files will look like they are downloading with the speed of light. Fiber optics Internet connections work with light waves that travel within fiber optic cables. It is my understanding that most other Internet connections involve older copper wire cables, coaxial wire cables, or orbiting satellite links. Satellite links should be fast. But the other two are considerably slower than the satellite and fiber optics links. Unless you have some unusual type of Internet service, downloading even my largest PNG charts should not appreciably affect your monthly download limit. My largest PNG charts are about 3 MEG in size. So, even with a very limited Internet service plan of 5 GIG per month you would need to download about 1000 of those charts every month before it would affect your download limit. If you are near a public library and use their computers, they likely have NO download limits. Below is an example of one of my largest PNG charts. It displays information regarding Significant Earthquakes that have occurred going back to the start of 1973. They are sorted by longitude. East longitude earthquakes are at the top of the chart and west earthquakes are at the bottom. There are an additional 5 or so earthquakes at the top and the bottom of the chart that have the opposite longitude. Those are included on the charts to help with continuity. You can see this year’s deadly Turkey and Morocco earthquakes on the chart at 38 W and 8 W longitudes respectively. Those Significant Earthquakes PNG charts are getting larger and larger every year as more and more significant earthquakes occur and they are added to the charts. So, Mr. Bopp and Earthboppin site visitors should not panic when they see those enormous PNG charts displayed. They should not be appreciably affecting your PC or the Earthboppin Internet server or even my own Web site server. It has an almost unlimited amount of storage space and download bandwidth. Both used to actually be unlimited. But they recently changed to some very large size likely to get more money from their customers. Forget that! They charge me enough as it is. Regards to all, EQF

Posted by EQF on September 21, 2023 The highly destructive Turkey area earthquakes occurred earlier this year at around 38 E, not 38 W. EQF |

Additional For Mr. Bopp And Others Posted By EQF On September 21, 2023 The following are personal opinions. In the past, each time that I have started considering having other scientists visit this forum to see discussions regarding Earthquake Forecasting data I stopped considering that because there would inevitably be one post or another that looked like it could cause some problems. Once my posts start displaying those PNG picture charts, that type of problem will likely not be a major matter of concern. Each post will contain enough detail that unfriendly posts will likely be ignored by the international scientific community. To a certain extent I am somewhat happy to see that Roger is no longer posting notes here. As helpful as he has been over the years, he was always parroting the U.S. government politics line that: EARTHQUAKES CAN’T BE PREDICTED! EARTHQUAKES CAN’T BE PREDICTED! EARTHQUAKES CAN’T BE PREDICTED! As he worked in the past for the U.S. government, his looking somewhat political on this might to others in the international scientific community have been something of an embarrassment for him. Unfortunately, it appears that as a scientist, Roger has finally run out of steam. This is often one of the sad consequences of living for a long time. I have not talked with him in a while but might contact him soon and tell him to start reading my posts after those PNG charts begin to become available in my posts. The discussions might have been interesting. As I stated, there is that popular quote that one good picture is worth a thousand words. Regarding other people’s posts, U.S. government officials hear what they want to hear. They ignore everything else. I have repeatedly told them that some Earthquakes CAN be predicted with a fair amount of accuracy. But they have never been interested in hearing that. So that information was ignored. But, I was always just stating that to them. I never actually tried to insist that they take the matter seriously. The plan is for that to change before too long. No one reading these posts could POSSIBLY even begin to imagine how strongly U.S. government officials respond to my advice when it has to do with something they actually WANT or might want to hear about such as renewable energy. Their responses can be quite frightening as they often go into a panic and just blindly respond without giving the matter adequate consideration. It is unlikely that any or perhaps many U.S. government officials are visiting this forum and reading anyone’s posts. To them, the science of Earthquake Forecasting does not even exist. There are no major sources of funding or votes associated with the science. If those relatively few U.S. government officials who DO actually know who I am and who are aware of the disaster mitigation projects that I have successfully worked on in the past WERE reading these posts, then some of the comments that have been made about my Earthquake Forecasting posts in the past would likely have resulted in their experiencing great merriment. Those posts might have been passed around by E-mail to other government officials with the comments: Look at this. Something amusing to brighten up your day! Regards to all, EQF |
