Dutch seismologist Frank Hoogerbeits tweeted an update on the predictions made by his research body on Monday evening, forecasting powerful tremors between May 7 and 10. The SSGEOS agency, headed by Hoogerbeits, stated in a tweet on "X" titled "Forecast Update": "The lunar conjunction on May 3-4 can lead to a strong shake, potentially reaching higher than 6 magnitude, most likely later on May 6 or early May 7." It added: "Mercury and Venus will be in conjunction with Uranus on May 7, right before the New Moon. This can result in a cluster of strong shakes close to a magnitude of 6 and potentially a larger earthquake, likely occurring between May 8 and 10."
Hoogerbeits leads the "Solar System Geometry Survey" (SSGEOS), a research institution focusing on monitoring the geometry emerging from celestial bodies and its relation to seismic activity on Earth. His predictions and warnings have caused considerable panic worldwide, as he links these forecasts to planetary conjunctions in space, asserting that their alignment creates "critical geometry" affecting Earth and causing earthquakes, according to his controversial theory.
Last week, some of these predictions materialized as earthquakes struck various countries, and Hoogerbeits did not miss the opportunity to remind his followers that he had anticipated those earthquakes in previous updates, even pinpointing some of the affected regions.
It is worth noting that all astronomers and geologists reject Hoogerbeits' controversial theories, considering them unscientific, and insist that there is no correlation between planetary movements, their alignments, and seismic activity on Earth. Astronomers affirm that the only scientifically proven relationship between Earth and celestial bodies is the connection between Earth and the Moon during tidal phenomena, with no other relationships confirmed beyond that.
