In the last month the group of brazilean researchers "Quake Red Alert" directed by Aroldo Maciel has been frequently named on TV and social networks, the interesting of the proyect "Quake Red Alert" after two years of researching they're able to detect future earthquakes based on data triangulation algorithms.
They've the precision of 80% for forecasting earthquakes, they forecast about 800 of 1000 earthquakes/tremors, they show us very good and precise results but the most of people don't trust in their forecastings because never before the forecasting of earthquakes and tremors has been posible, no recognized country or organization did it before, and most of recognized cientific says that is imposible.
The Quake Red Alert group says one thing in their last interview:
"Welcome to the future"
What do you think about the possibility of forecasting earthquakes?, Do you think this kind of popular information can influence the live of the people?
I think that's possible, and it's our responsability to trust in this.

This is quite informative and I am pretty sure that with new advances in technology men would be able to predict or forecast potential earthquakes and tremors. If that tool or algorithm exists or could be developed humanity will be profoundly thankful.
ReplyDeleteNow, how can you connect this interesting topic to the topics we are currently discussing in class.
I don't really think this information can influence in the life of the people. I don't know if this information is scientifically proven and I think that because this many people don't believe what they say. But if this information was proven, this could be shown in the news as a true information to help the people, and to prepare them for a really earthquakes or something like that. But until it is proven, it is not very credible.
ReplyDeleteWhen I listened in the news about QUAKE RED ALERT I thought that they were lying about the predictions as many others people who say that they can predict earthquakes. But it is really impressive all the earthquakes that they have predicted. So I think that it is important to pay attention to this group of Brazilians because maybe this will be a really helpful weapon for humanity when the nature attacks us. But I think that it is hard to change this idea of predictions related to nature in a culture who in it is most does not believe in this stuffs.
