The 24-minute-long earthquake prophecy video, which has now been watched by over half-a-million people, predicts a massive 9.8 earthquake will hit California at 4pm local time on 28 May.
The clip published by Frank Hoogerbeets, the founder and president of Ditrianum Media, claims he was able to assess the 'horrific' event using a computer program called Solar System Scope.
The Huffington Post UK citing Hoogerbeets noted that his theory was based on the calculation that the 9.8 quake will strike when "no less than five planetary alignments will converge with the Earth."
He claims that even Nostradamus, the famous French apothecary and purported prophet, has made similar reference to the critical planetary positions, before an impending calamity.
Hoogerbeets, recently, once again urged people to take precaution. "I advice people in critical areas along fault lines in the world to be on extra alert around May 28. Be prepared. Have an escape plan ready," he said on his Twitter account.
However, American science blogger Phil Plait has completely rubbished the claim a total 'baloney.'
Plait in an article published in Slate wrote: "First, there is simply no way an alignment of planets can cause an earthquake on Earth. It's literally impossible. I've done the math on this before; the maximum combined gravity of all the planets under ideal conditions is still far less than the gravitational influence of the Moon on the Earth, and the Moon at very best has an extremely weak influence on earthquakes."
Noting that the claim made by Frank Hoogerbeets was unfounded, Plait added: "This all stems from a video by someone who I believe is sincere but also profoundly wrong on essentially every level. It's been picked up by various credulous places online, then spread around by people who haven't been properly skeptical about it."

`Rubbish’ is a verb? Well, they are English so they must be right.
(I’m not sure it’s even a word in America. “Trashed”?)
What the Hoogerbeets is going on here?!
ONLY?
it is not something you are born with.”
I’m a Leo, my ex is a Leo, an attorney friend of mine who is a Leo started a birthday party for Leo’s only in our area of Texas several years ago. Invite list grew from 5 to well over 11,000 before I finally got out. Believe me, Leo’s are born with a narcissistic gene. Add that to the power and money gained by politicians and you have Obama and Clinton.
“Believe me, Leo’s are born with a narcissistic gene.”
Oh, now it’s a gene?
Sorry, but genes are determined at the point of conception, not birth, and they are determined by your ancestry, not by the planets or stars. Regardless, narcissism is a psychological trait that is definitely determined by environment and not genetics.
So, did everyone survive?
You know...I forgot all about it.
Let me check..........................
.............. looks oaky.
Global warming is interfering with the natural earthquake cycle.
Well, 4 p.m. Has come and gone and California has not slipped into the Pacific. Another busted prediction.
Everyone but the Leo’s.
