This work is devoted to the study of the
relationship between strong earthquakes and planetary configurations using the
example of two consecutive strong earthquakes that occurred in Türkiye (Turkey), on
February6, 2023.
It is shown that at the time of the earthquakes, linear alignment of the
planets along the Jupiter-Venus-Sun line was observed, that is, the
astronomical trigger belonged to the generalized Kepler conjunction scheme
(gKc), when the Earth does not participate in the linearization scheme. It is
shown that for the first earthquake that occurred at 01:17UTC, the ratio of the
distances between Jupiter-Earth and Jupiter-Mars was close to an integer value
equal to 5.993. For the second earthquake that occurred on the same day at
10:25UTC, no
integer resonance ratios were detected, however, it was found that the
terrestrial e UTC line at the time of the earthquake passed through the
position of Mercury. Recall that the 12-hour line of the eUTC chart is always
oriented towards the Sun. The conclusions of the work once again confirm the
correctness of the theories of Archimedes and Kepler and convince us of the
existence of a gravitational phenomenon that does not depend on the distances
and masses of planets, has a pronounced inertial and wave character and does
not fit into the general theory of relativity, developed in the last century by
Albert Einstein.
