Dutch Scientist Issues Seismic Warnings Amid Controversy

Frank Hoogerbeets, a Dutch seismologist known for his controversial theories, has sparked renewed discussion on social media by issuing warnings about possible seismic activity between February 13 and 15.
Hoogerbeets bases his predictions on a concept he refers to as "Planetary Engineering," which involves observing the positions of celestial bodies and their potential impact on Earth's geological activity.

Concerns Over Rare Astronomical Alignment

He highlighted a rare astronomical alignment involving Earth, the Moon, and Jupiter, suggesting this configuration could trigger significant seismic events. Hoogerbeets has called for preparedness for what he describes as a "seismic surprise." His predictions have gained traction online, particularly since he has previously linked astronomical phenomena to earthquakes in various regions worldwide.

Widespread Scientific Rejection of These Theories

However, many geoscientists strongly dispute these claims, asserting that there is no scientific evidence supporting a direct correlation between planetary movements and earthquake occurrences. Experts emphasize that earthquakes are primarily caused by the movements of tectonic plates within the Earth's crust, not by celestial alignments, and view Hoogerbeets' forecasts as lacking scientific foundation.

Global Attention Amid Conflicting Opinions

These warnings emerge at a time when the global community is still reeling from the effects of major earthquakes, particularly the devastating quake in Turkey, which heightens public sensitivity to any seismic-related alerts. The debate continues between scientifically unsupported predictions and conventional scientific analyses, as the days ahead are closely monitored.
