Comment on "Astronomical alignments as the cause of ~M6+ seismicity"

TL;DR

This paper supports the idea that Earth's seismic activity correlates with planetary alignments, suggesting a possible astrological influence on seismicity based on observational data from 2010.

Contribution

It provides empirical evidence linking planetary alignments to seismic events, challenging conventional geophysical explanations.

Findings

Earth was aligned with planets 98.6% of the time in 2010

Strong earthquakes in 2010 occurred during planetary alignments

Seismicity may have an astrological origin

Abstract

It is shown that, according to the criteria used by M. Omerbashich (arXiv:1104.2036v4 [physics.gen-ph]), during 2010 the Earth was aligned with at least one pair of planets some 98.6% of the time. This firmly supports Omerbashich's claim that 2010 strongest earthquakes occurred during such astronomical alignments. On this basis, we argue that seismicity is, generally, a phenomenon of astrological origin.
