Dutch Scientist Issues Controversial Earthquake Alerts for February

Controversial Dutch seismologist Frank Hoogerbeets has sparked debate on social media following his recent alerts about potential seismic activity expected between February 13 and 15.
Hoogerbeets bases his predictions on what he terms "planetary engineering," which involves observing celestial body positions and their possible effects on Earth's geological activity.

Astronomical Alignment Raises Concerns

He has pointed to a rare astronomical alignment involving Earth, the Moon, and Jupiter, suggesting that this configuration could coincide with significant seismic events, urging people to prepare for what he describes as a "seismic surprise."
His forecasts have gained traction on social media, particularly after he previously connected astronomical phenomena with earthquakes in various regions worldwide.

Scientific Community Rejects These Theories

In contrast, many geologists dismiss Hoogerbeets' claims, asserting that there is no scientific evidence supporting a direct link between planetary movements and earthquakes.
Experts emphasize that earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate movements within the Earth's crust, rather than celestial alignments, arguing that these predictions lack scientific validation.

Global Attention Amid Diverging Opinions

These alerts come at a time when the impact of significant earthquakes, such as the devastating quake in Turkey, remains fresh in public memory, heightening sensitivity to any seismic activity warnings.
The ongoing debate contrasts unproven predictions with traditional scientific analyses, leaving many wondering what the coming days may hold.
