I might want to say that planetary alignment is just one of thousands of ways to cause an Earthquake.
Well we got EM waves, and tectonic plate movement. That is just a fraction of the big picture.
Oh and gravity, it's been classified by "popular" scientist as the weakest force in the universe. Weak it may be, but how fast is it? As well, gravity have a wide range of strength, so I wouldn't say it's weak. Let's make an example, if a person from Earth was to goto a bigger planet say Jupiter, what would happen? Easy, the person will gain weight by 200% or more, causing the person to be unable to move. However, if this was seen as an exercise, a way to build up muscle, then going on a planet bigger than your home planet would be the best option. And just to make one more comparison, walking one mile on Earth, you would burn somewhere around 300 Calories. Now do the same thing on Jupiter, and you will be a lot stronger, if you can take the heat.
Because I don't think what you asked. And no it doesn't, if you look at the model further in time Jupiter is almost always in a position to pull the comet closer to Earth.
Non-the-less its still relevant research and Electromagnetic as laid out in my post is still a distinct possibility no matter how little to the topic of pre-cursors or initiators and /or catalysts for Earth-Quakes
Sorry I didn't know people thought a 5.0+ quake was very major...

Sorry I guess you didn't realize that the magnitude of a quake is not related to the damage it can cause.

the comet should be visible with the unaided eye. The alignment(6/11/2011) with Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, and Venus should have had enough force to alter the comets path significantly.
That's just a bunch of hooey. Are you suggesting that these objects are not affecting the path of other objects wen not aligned? .
Don't put words in my mouth.
And read what I actually wrote.
That doesn't just go for you, that goes for everyone.

Planetary alignments are unrelated to quakes. This issue has been investigated and shown to be a dead end. Only the Moon is correlated with any quakes. Even then the Moon is associated with only a few rare types of low intensity quakes.
Despite all of the research these precursors are not definitive in predicting quakes.

Well I read the comet wasn't supposed to be visible till 9/11.. It sounds like he's suggesting that the aligned planets would effect the comet more so then when not aligned. Hope this clears things up.
People are scared by the facts of reality.
There is a wormhole in the Bermuda Triangle, planes disappear and return only a certain time in years from their present.
Planetary alignment will and forever be one of the possibilities that is can cause a gravity differentiation and in the end cause a quake.
I used Jupiter as an example, I did not say that you have to live on the surface
As well, why I say it's faster than light is because it acts so quick that you don't even see it. It comes in a wave, similar to the light spectrum, but either very low or very high.
Again check my post again Jupiter's magnetosphere is known to interact with Earths magnetosphere.
Actually take the time to read my original post since your answer is riddled with complete denial of the facts laid out in my post.
Understand that gravity is not the only possible pre-cursor or catalysts in Earthquakes
Thats a pretty bold statement; there is no conclusive evidence against such so you're statement is highly irrational
Mainly because perhaps some alignments do have a causation and/or catalysts for Earthquakes because to state such is highly ignorant.
Even if only 1 in a million or less Planetary alignments caused Earthquakes it still could cause Earthquakes
You are forgetting to note the point i made with the magnetospheres of Earth and Jupiter can interact and have been known to interact and fluctuations in the Earths magnetosphere can be catalysts causation for Earth-quakes or one of the variables for causation
You simply posted no evidence proving otherwise in your post
Many studies in the past have shown no significant correlations between the rate of earthquake occurrence and the semi-diurnal tides when using large earthquake catalogs.
Several recent studies, however, have found a correlation between earth tides (caused by the position of the moon relative to the earth) and some types of earthquakes.
