Earthquake Prediction

 Seismic activity that swept through Japan in late June 2025 may become not only a geological event, but an epistemological one as well. From June 22 to July 2, 2025, according to the JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency), the Tokara Islands experienced 890 tremors — 474 of them within just five days. The largest quake reached a magnitude of 5.1. Despite the absence of destruction, anxiety in the region reached its peak: a heightened alert level was declared on the islands. This seismic uptick has triggered a new wave of discussions — not only about science, but about the very nature of how we perceive the future. At the center of the controversy is a prophecy by Japanese artist Ryo Tatsuki, often dubbed the "Asian Vanga." She first came into the spotlight with the release of her manga The Future I Saw, which, according to readers, accurately predicted the 2011 Fukushima disaster. A republished 2021 edition includes another ominous vision — a catastrophic tsunami caused by an und...

 Scientists from Columbia University have conducted a study that has shown the high risks of earthquakes and tsunamis of great power in the United States. Using underwater mapping techniques, scientists have mapped the Cascadia subduction zone - a thousand-kilometer fault line stretching from southern Canada to northern California - in unprecedented detail. It turned out that the fault is divided into four segments, and is not one continuous strip, like most fault lines. The discovery could be even more catastrophic - the reason for the risks is that the plates have a diverse structure of sediments and rocks, so there is a constant displacement of their fragments in different directions. According to scientists, the earthquake will cause the largest tsunami in history, at least thirty meters high, which can cause irreparable damage to California, Washington and Oregon. For comparison, an earthquake with a magnitude of up to 8.3 is expected in California's San Andreas. If a magnitud...

A cloud of hot gases from the crater of Mont Pelee, completely burned the city. As a matter of minutes killed more than thirty thousand people odnako of animals after the tragedy, rescuers found only a few dead cats and dogs. As it turned out, almost all pets away from the city in advance, anticipating the impending catastrophe. In Chile, before the earthquake in 1835, every one of the dogs left...
