After months of absence, Dutch seismologist Frank Hoogerbeets has recently resumed his activity in tracking planetary movements and celestial bodies related to earthquakes. In his latest warning today, Friday, he alerted that new alignments and movements of planets could lead to seismic activity in Taiwan and its surrounding areas in the next two days. He commented on a picture of the research center he heads, SSGEOS, stating, "There is an obvious clustering of stronger tremors (M ≥ 5.6) with the planetary geometry (purple/red peaks)." He indicated that such signs suggest a possibility of a strong tremor on April 27/28.
According to SSGEOS's definition on its website, the specific geometry between celestial bodies related to earthquakes is called "critical planetary geometry" or "critical lunar geometry," which does not always result in powerful tremors or earthquakes. Hoogerbeets strongly defends his theory that asserts a direct relationship between pressure accumulation in the Earth’s crust and the electromagnetic charge resulting from critical planetary geometry, which sometimes can lead to significant earthquakes. However, all scientists reject this theory, considering it unscientific, and they assert that there is no connection between planets and earthquake activity on Earth.
