Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter Alignment - another earthquake?

[FireShadow]

I have been following the Suspicious Observers You Tube channel. Ben Davidson (if I am remembering his name correctly) puts out a video every morning of his solar observations and the effects on the earth. He is working on his earthquake prediction theories (achieving more and more accuracy as time goes by) and also talks about spaceweather in general. He has made some presentation at the EU conferences as well. He has also posted a series of short video tutorials called "Sun Series". He has been recently mentioning the planetary alignments with an eye as to their effects on the sun and subsequently the earth.

I used to subscribe to his site a year or two ago but it seemed he had some agenda or something wasn't quite right, so I unsubscribed. The more subscribers he has the more money he makes there. If memory serves me correctly, he is the kind of guy who alludes to or infers a "kill shot" from the sun somewhere along the line. Ed Dames, a questionable remote viewer was the same. But we need sun spots to fortify our different "spheres" of the planets atmosphere. Thus low sun spots equals a shrinking magnetosphere etc.

Probably the one thing not mentioned in this whole thread is where the twin sun/brown dwarf is when this alignment takes place. The closest Youtuber that I have found who seems to have a clue about it is TerralBlackstar, but he is a bit weird too. At least he tries to figure out the "Portal Connections/alignments" of the brown dwarf and earth by matching major earthquakes to where the twin sun would have to be, if it is indeed causing the big quakes. His timing has adjusted over time but if the twin sun is in perihelion it would seem to make sense. I think his next portal connection is February.

And nice screen shots "data".

What about a little article on this for Sott? Just the basics about what is happening, what happened last time...

Luckily, this "alignment" passed without a big one (EQ).
And I apologise for not replying earlier to this suggestion, wasn't "in the mood" at that time to do it properly like this kind of research should be done.

So, now I've obtained the list of largest EQs (M8+) since 1900 up til 2012, them cca 90:
_http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/year/mag8/magnitude8_1900_date.php
(apparently, there were several more since 2012, but in low 8 _http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2016/ )

Taking a quick glance over the planetary positions at the time of the Top5 EQs (which are at the same time only EQs with M9+ in the above list), it could be speculated that there might be something about Mercury's relative position WRT to big (outer) planets, Jupiter and Saturn, but I wouldn't dare to say anything "stronger" than that at this point.

Snapshots of online orrery images of planetary positions in question are attached (name code: EQ_<place>_<date>_<mag*10>) below, and second batch are similar images just zoomed/switched to realistic model with some major comet positions included.
As can be seen, there's nothing significant, IMO, on these images, regarding the planetary positions.

So, that little article suggestion would need to wait a bit until I check for correlation among this (time) data, transformed into heliocentric coordinates for the planets.
Of course, correlation doesn't mean causation, but no correlation suggests no obvious/direct causation for sure, IMO.

Here are the preliminary results.

Data sample contained 92 M8+ earthquakes (EQs) that happened in period 1900-2015.
Its time distribution:

Compared to lower part of Fig. 33 in ECHCC:

it seems that it does not support the connection between solar minima and major EQs, discussed in this topic.

For each EQ, planetary positions were calculated at that time and extracted (if somebody wants to play some more with it, the complete spreadsheet can be found here).
Using ecliptic coordinate system, planetary angular distance (delta phi) was obtained as difference between their respective longitudes.

Although there are some "peaks" in delta phi distribution, it can not unambiguously be said that Mercury "triggers" EQs on Earth by discharging solar capacitor, i.e. when it's located in conjuction (or opposition) with the big ones. The same goes for any astrological type of planetary alignment.
Moreover, when delta phi is "translated" to [0°,180°] interval only (plots in right column), peaks (groupings of points) at 0° (conjuction) and 180° (opposition) are clearly missing.

There's also no clear correlation among angular positions of planets of Mercury-Earth-Jupiter or Mercury-Earth-Saturn triad.

On the other hand, as implied in above scatter plots, there might be something in Earth's relative position WRT the big ones:

That is to say, there might be slightly higher probability for big EQ to occur when Earth is just "entering" the region "in front" of a big one, i.e. when Earth is approaching the conjuction with Jupiter and/or Saturn. But again, compared to overall distribution, these peaks (groupings) do not support any significant/decisive conclusion.

For the sake of more completeness, here are also scatter plots of different "cross combinations":

All in all, to put it shortly, it seems there is not much to write about - lot of "might", "could be" and vague indications, but no clear cuts. Except to say that some speculations presented in this article are not supported by observations (real data).
