If I remember correctly, Omerbashich describes a "long alignment" as occurring over the period of at least three days. Now if we look at the average number number of 6.0+ earthquakes in a year we see that about 150 occur. This means that on average a 6.0+ earthquake occurs once every 2.5 days. So, if Omerbashich is only looking at alignments that last three days probability alone states that a 6.0+ earthquake will occur during that time period. It has nothing to do with alignments.

I'm telling you Dr. Zanette is making fun of Omerbashich. I thought that was immediately obvious when he listed his affiliation as The Patagonia Royal Society in his paper. Also, astronomy and astrophysics isn't even Zanette's field of research. From what I can find of his published papers he looks more at language and population than anything else.

Nasa is government. Government is made of liars and cover stories. Nasa said there was no water on the moon for nearly 50 years. They went there, took samples of the regolith and said there was no water in it. Now just recently, they say the moon may have more water than the Earth and the regolith is full of water. Do you really think they didn't know that from the elementary moisture calculations performed during Apollo. Don't be naive, its not flattering.
Trying to ridicule the work of a scientist in order to try and discredit his hypothesis is the typical behaviour of someone that does not have a sound argument themselves.
We can now expect from the Anglo-Zionist gang to start spitting Dr. Zanette, something like: "you foool, cooorreeela-la-la-la-tion means no caaauuusaaation"...

Xcaliber is correct; Dr. Zanette's paper is, in part, parody, hence the fatuousness of the abstract. The excerpts that have been posted here prove what his critics have been saying all along: earthquakes happen when planets are in "alignment" because planets are always in alignment! Dr. Omersbashich is so delusional that he actually thinks this savage critique supports his theory.

Just for you I have sent Dr. Zanette an email so he can clarify that his paper was satire. I don't know why it should be necessary though considering the very first thing written after the title is clearly mocking Omerbashich's fictional European Royal Society.
To our understanding, these results incontestably demonstrate that strong 2010 earthquakes were bound to occur during astronomical alignments.

Exactly, because the planets are in alignment 98% of the time. Incontestably, if you lose your car keys the planets were bound to be in alignment. Incontestably, if you lose your sock in the washing machine the planets were bound to be in alignment. Incontestably, if the Cubs win the World Series, the planets were bound to be in alignment. Incontestably, if you get an "A" in English, the planets were bound to be in alignment. Incontestably, if it rains, the planets were bound to be in alignment....
Thank you for your message. You have correctly perceived the satirical nature of my "contribution". I am amused to hear that Omerbasich and supporters (?!) think that it backs their theories (which of course I consider garbage)... but perhaps this reaction was to be expected. Let us just enjoy the entertainment, which will evanesce as swiftly as comet Elenin.
Best wishes. Damián Zanette
PS: I have created the "Patagonian Royal Society" to give an institutional frame to my paper, only to recall that nobility titles are banished in my country since 1813...
