The difference in distance between the predicted place and the epicentre was 157.11899 km with a time difference of 28 minutes.

If they have that documented, that's impressive.

"Venkatanathan explained that the prediction was based on a novel method developed by the team. According to the method, when two or more planets, Sun and the Moon get aligned more or less in line (0 to 180 degree) with the earth it could affect the angular momentum of the earth and decrease the speed of rotation of the earth which could trigger an earthquake."

It would be interesting to see if last year on Dec. 26th when the earthquake in Bamm, Iraq occured, if there was also a planetary alignment. They could easily check their hypothesis against data of previous earthquakes and planetary alignment.

Those are freaky! You can see the water lifting up as it comes in.

If the tidal force of the moon is enough to lift "trillyuns"</Sagan> of gallons of water twice a day, is the alignment of the sun and moon enough to affect the crust?

The full moon had to be a factor in precipitating the Sumatra quake. Yet no one brings this up.

This isn't really surprising...Years ago, the Santa Clara County (California) Geologist, Jim Berkland, would predict fairly accurately by such indications of positions of sun and moon (tidal effect) and linking it to the rising number of animals reported missing. Pets tend to act weird, including disappearing, for several days prior to earthquakes. Berkland was accurate enough to prove that there is a relationship between the tidal effect and earthquake activity.

I notice that the animals are missing in Sri Lanka.

Full moon pushed a dangerous situation over the edge. IMHO. This quake may not have happened for years without this particular full moon. And not all full moons are the same.

There's also Jean Dixon syndrome; you make enough outlandish predictions, some of them are bound to hit. I'd need to see his entire oeuvre. "Colour" me healthfully skeptical.

As an amateur astronomer, that's a pretty interesting site. Borderline whackjob, but some interesting info.
