I think this is the nearest to a constant I have seen in any attempt
to derive a law for earth-quakes:

When a series of lunar phases have similar predictive qualities about
them, as in the recent run up to the good weather we are now enjoying
in the UK, the times of the phases will induce a large mag. 'quake at
a point or region no-one as yet is sufficiently au fait with these
ideas to predict the window of.

There is enough circumstantial evidence to show the method has
provided sufficiently large enough quakes with repeated aftershocks
for the generation of serious attention to the idea put forward here.

21st. JULY. (Oops! I lost this when cutting and pasting in the
original post to sci.geo.earthquakes. It should have read:) Wet
weather.

29th. JULY At 06:53 the lunar phase continued to produce wet weather.

But on the 5th AUG. at 07:28, the lunar phase induced something half
way between wet weather and fine. This time of phase (half-past stormy
half-to sunny) might (until further study clarifies the mechanics) be
considered a neutral point in the system.

(I'd never heard of it either. Apparently it is the sea around the
Falklands and Patagonia.)

Not only do I claim that there are several previous examples recently
posted here (sci.geo.earthquakes) by my great self, there is every
mathematical reason to believe that the inverse is true:

When the run of phases is such that the weather in Britain is it's
usual changeable self, there will be many earthquakes world wide but
few of large magnitude. (Almost none over 6.6M.)

Having (as far as I know) no peers in this realm, I shall have to
settle for the rebukes that these groups engender. But what is that to
a man who has greatness written through him like a geographical
location in a stick of rock?
