The ultimate and noble goal of seismology as a
science is to find reliable means to predict the place, time and magnitude of
expected earthquake. There are significant achievements on the way to this
goal: there is a fairly clear understanding chemical physics and mechanics of
the earthquake, there are reliable indicators and precursors of the approaching
seismic events. However, this understanding remains to be purely intellectual
achievement; it looks like highly desirable but hardly attainable purpose.
Earthquake prediction is unattainable like absolute zero temperature: you may
approach it, but never reach. As an alternation there is reliable evidence that
microwave induced release of energy, accumulated in the earthquake focus, may
be implemented by hand-made means (such as magneto-hydrodynamic generators).
Magnetic control of the earthquake focus by microwave exposure is a unique
means to decrease magnitude of the earthquake and transform catastrophic event
in the less dangerous one. However, positive experience of reducing the
magnitude of earthquake is rather limited and hardly may be implemented in practice;
evidently, earthquake control is unfeasible project.
