Short-Term Earthquake Prediction: Physical Reality of KaY Waves and Response to Criticism. Review of the Article by Koronovsky N.V., Zakharov V.S., Naimark A.A. “Short-Term Earthquake Prediction: Reality, Scientific Perspective or Phantom Project?” (Moscow University Geol. Bull. 2019; 3)

Abstract

This paper presents the physical and experimental justification for the existence of gravitational-seismic KaY waves discovered by the author. It is shown that the KaY wave represents a secondary converging phase of the earthquake preparation process that occurs after resonant energy divergence. The paper provides responses to the criticism by N.V. Koronovsky, V.S. Zakharov, and A.A. Naimark published in the article “Short-Term Earthquake Prediction: Reality, Scientific Perspective or Phantom Project?” Experimental confirmations (Italy, Nepal, Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk, Argentina–Chile) are presented, confirming the deterministic phase of energy convergence and the possibility of short-term earthquake prediction.
