Astronomical alignments as the cause of ~M6+ seismicity
Authors: Mensur Omerbashich
(Submitted on 11 Apr 2011)
Abstract: I here demonstrate empirically my georesonator concept in which tidally induced magnification of Earth masses' resonance causes seismicity. To that end, I show that all strong (~M6+) earthquakes of 2010 occurred during the Earth's long (t>3 day) astronomical alignments within our solar system. I then show that the same holds true for all very strong (~M8+) earthquakes of the decade of 2000s. Finally, the strongest (M8.6+) earthquakes of the past century are shown

I think the future will verify his work.... using the JPL orbiter, I marked down:

I guess all we non-physicists can do for now is sit back and play the waiting game as it all unfolds.
Well one problem I have with this right off the bat is his credentials. I can find no reference to The European Royal Society online. I also have been unable to turn up any articles by Omerbashich in a variety of physics and geology journal databases. Google Scholar has a few articles by him where is affiliation is listed as Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of New Brunswick. Most of his work seems to be from the Cornell site which anyone can submit papers to without undergoing the peer-review process.

And this has a Berkeley affiliation. He worked in the past there.
