The CREDO project has found a strong correlation between cosmic radiation and earthquakes, although not in a way that anyone expected. The study found that there is a connection between cosmic rays and seismicity, but it is not clear whether cosmic radiation causes earthquakes or some process inside Earth causes a regular and complex effect with radiation that precedes a seismic shock. The findings open the door to consider other less conventional explanations, such as dark matter streams. The correlation is only evident when cosmic ray data shifts 15 days relative to seismic data, suggesting it could give scientists information on earthquakes well in advance.
The CREDO project has found a clear statistical correlation between global seismic activity and changes in the intensity of cosmic radiation recorded at the surface of our planet, potentially helping to predict earthquakes. The periodicity of the correlation is similar to the solar activity cycle, but does not coincide with the maximum activity of our star. The lack of classical explanations for the observed periodicities provokes consideration of the possible role of other, less conventional phenomena, such as the passage of the Earth through a dark matter stream modulated by the sun and other massive bodies in our planetary system.
Scientists have discovered a correlation between global seismic activity and changes in the intensity of cosmic radiation measured on Earth's surface, which could aid in earthquake prediction. The CREDO project seeks to decipher a potential link between cosmic radiation fluctuations and earthquakes. Statistical analysis revealed a distinct correlation between alterations in the intensity of secondary cosmic radiation and the collective magnitude of all earthquakes of 4 or more on the Richter scale. However, the feasibility of predicting specific locations of these seismic events remains unclear.
