Foreword

The Author’s Words

1. Some very serious and major problems faced by the rapid development of China’s science and technology, economy and society which cannot be solved by conventional science and technology

2. Some “Science and technology innovation achievements challenging the basic theories of traditional science and technology” helpful to solve the major difficult problems faced by China (Energy Section)

3. With the attitude that “modern science research is high specialized”, can amateur researchers (spare-time researchers) and transdisciplinary researchers “achieve any significant discoveries” and make “revolutionary contributions?” Under the present circumstances with rather the high-level development of science and technology of today, could great inventors like Watt or Edison still emerge today?

4. Why is it that “transdisciplinary researchers – spare time researchers” can challenge “professional” researchers and the basic theories of conventional science and technology?

5. The embarrassment of the world’s educational system

6. The reason why Japan makes greater and greater investments into science and technology R & D but the return in practical results is so limited

7. Global science and technology in many fields are at the cusp of a revolutionary period which will take a quantum leap in the number and type of significant science and technology innovations brought forth.

I am a British - Chinese business consultant, born in Oxford, England, but been living, studying and working in China since 1950. Due to a chance a chance acquaintance in 1990, I gradually developed strong interest in investigating and following-up on all kinds of effective techniques developed in China for earthquake (EQ) prediction and medium/long-term weather forecasting. During the past three years, I have been working extensively and helping a number of Chinese EQ prediction practicers and medium/long-term weather forecast practicers in the above field in China. I assisted a few successful EQ prediction practicers from China to attend and make presentations to the Natural Hazard sessions of the European Geophysics Society 2002 Annual Assembly, Nice in April, 2002. Due to my active role in the above field, I had the honor in May 2002 as being appointed by the China Geophysics Society as an Advisor to the Committee of Natural Hazards Prediction of the China Geophysics Society. Related to the above role, I have also joined and became a member to both the European Geophysics Society and the American Geophysics Union.

Author’s word: Jiang’s proof of FLT was published in China in March 1992 (Jiang Chun-xuan, Fermat’s Last Theorem has been proved, Potential Science, 2, 17-20 (1992)); and later published in English in the USA in 1994 (Jiang Chun-xuan, Algebras, Groups and Geometries, 11, 371-377 (1994)). In early 1992 and again in 1993, Jiang mailed over 600 copies of preprints of Jiang’s proof of FLT to numerous mathematicians in China and the world, including the Princeton University where Wiles worked. Jiang accomplished all of this was far before Wiles made his final announcement that he has eventually proved FLT in 1995. Therefore, if Wiles, and/or other mathematicians abroad or in China supporting Wiles, claim that Wiles was the first in the world to prove FLT, then, Wiles, or they, must first disprove Jiang Chun-xuan’s above mentioned prove of FLT published in early 1992. Failing to disprove Jiang Chun-xuan’s prove of FLT published in early 1992 and mailed to Wiles and over six hundred mathematicians and institutions in China and worldwide, then Wiles, and/or all other mathematicians abroad or in China supporting Wiles, are not qualified to claim or agree that Wiles was the first in the world to prove FLT and are on this issue not only cheating the world! If Wiles, and/or all other mathematicians abroad or in China supporting Wiles, do not agree with the logic of my above statement, then please present your proof disproving the logic of my above statement. Otherwise it only proves that you are also cheating yourself!

Abstract

My role

1. Why new approaches must be studied for EQ prediction?

2. Reasons why should pay special attention on the work and approaches of Chinese EQ prediction practicing researchers?

3. Relativities between Geomagnetic Disturbance/Magnetic Storm – EQs and the “Magnetic Storm Double Time Method” for predicting the occurrence date, epicenter area and magnitudes of EQs

-- Studied by Zhang Tie-zheng since 1967

4. Stronger “Initial MS”/“MS to Double Time” corresponds with EQs with greater magnitudes (discovered in 1969/1970)

5. The “Geomagnetic Deflection Angle Double Time Method”

-- Developed by Shen Zhong-pei in 1970

6. Long-term/Medium-term predictions: How to predict possible locations of strong EQs?

7. The Earth’s self-revolution and Earth’s revolution around the Sun: Which is the more important primary driving force causing crust structural movement and EQs?

8. Earth’s revolution around the Sun forms the primary driving force causing crust structural movements & EQs

-- How this was discovered by Chinese EQ practicers

9. Geomagnetic Daily, Monthly and Annual Regularities studied by Zhang Tie-zheng since 1967

10. Relativities between different types natural disasters -- Liu Cheng -chang (1986)

11. The Principals of Geodynamics Composition Actions -- Studies by Zhang Jia-xiang (1987 -)

12. Result of researcher Wu Xi-hao’s and Prof. Yang Xue-xiang’s work
