The heat of the sun as a trigger for earthquakes




Theories exist in all kinds and we can describe them in a thousand ways, absurd, enlightened, beautiful, complex, profound crazy theories, they can be proposed by a Nobel Prize winner or you, anyone can propose a theory, in science there is no theory that is neither bad nor good, because what science does, what science asks for, what science demands of you is that you demonstrate it, so you can have the craziest theory in the universe but the important thing is that you go to the second part of the work, which is to design a plan to demonstrate that what Your theory is true, it is not a fantasy.


Provide evidence as in any criminal investigation that we have seen in lots of detective movies, the next part is to design a plan, do an experiment or design an experiment, propose an exploratory trip, do calculations, simulations, etc. Anything that can demonstrate that your theory can explain the past, present or future reality of the real world and that it can be used to make predictions, those are the valid things, we try to explain the real world.


And four things can happen, sometimes the experiments show that the theory is right for you, maybe you get a Nobel Prize, second thing, which can happen on other occasions, although it is right, it may not fully explain what it theorizes, what we see, reality, it could even be that it happens many times that when doing the experiment to prove it we discover that there is another enigma behind that Enigma that we wanted to explain.


If the new theory explains better than the previous theory what it is trying to explain about reality, the new theory is taken as good until a more accurate one is found. The third thing that can happen is that experiments and exploration show that the theory was wrong, like the flat earth thing, and it can also happen.


There is a fourth thing that can happen with your theory, the one you propose and that is that there is no way, at least at this moment, to prove it, then the theory ends up staying in a drawer until one day someone rescues it and makes a plan or an experiment or invents something to be able to prove it and this usually happens more than you think, there are a lot of amazing and amazing theories waiting for someone to design an experiment or propose a formula to be able to demonstrate it and get proof, sometimes it can take decades even more than 100 years.




The advantage is that the new instruments evolve, there are new technologies and new computers and sometimes the possibility of developing a plan or experiment opens up to demonstrate that theory that was amazing at the time, one of those theories that was difficult to verify and that also every time someone suggested it was "if the sun has any influence on earthquakes", it has also been suggested on more than one occasion that lunar gravity is capable of activating large earthquakes, although this led to a study published in 2018 that showed that it was not true, it is not true that the moon activates large earthquakes but still There is a debate, the current debate is not that it activates them directly, it is not that it is like some kind of switch, the lunar gravity that activates that great earthquake.


The Debate is on the question of whether the gravity of the moon is a factor among many other factors that can add up to end up triggering an earthquake, whether large or small, because in the end the lunar gravity and that of the sun alter the height of the oceans, create the tides and earthquakes perhaps should be understood as the triggering event of a multitude of factors, if we knew all the factors and to the extent that they influence that event, we could make rough predictions, because unfortunately they will not be as precise; “of the type, on such a day and at such an hour there will be an earthquake” not at least with current technology.


What is news now is a new study, where they propose that "The role of solar heat in seismic activity" we are currently at solar maximum, we are at the moment of most activity of the sun, therefore, if this is true in this past year and these first months of 2025 there should be a greater general count of earthquakes on the planet, of course normally do not pay attention in this case do not pay attention to the earthquakes that are news because they are usually the most powerful and those that affect more people because there are powerful earthquakes that are not news because they occur in Antarctica or at the bottom of the ocean and do not produce any effect on any human. What is done is to compute all the earthquakes on the planet, in this case to check if this theory is true, not just the most powerful ones.
