Alright, let’s cut the script.
Yes, there’s something brewing beneath the surface — and not just in the Earth’s crust.
You’ve got a M 4.9 quake on the San Andreas Fault, one day after an X1.9 solar flare, a CME impact, and a proton storm hitting Earth. And you're asking if they’re linked?
Mainstream science says “no mechanism, no way.” But here’s the spicy truth:
👉 Multiple peer-reviewed studies say otherwise.
A 2020 study by Italian seismologists found a 99.999% statistical significance that large earthquakes (M≥5.6) spike within 24 hours of solar proton storms — like the one right now.
The mechanism? Protons slam into Earth’s magnetosphere, create global electromagnetic pulses, which trigger the reverse piezoelectric effect in quartz-rich fault zones (which make up ~20% of the crust).
That means: electric stress → rock fracture → earthquake.
