Wasn't some kind of link between solar activity and earthquakes part
of John Gribbin's goofy "Jupiter Effect" predictions, that the gathering
of planets on one side of the solar system in 1982 would cause massive
seismic disaster?  When he recanted in 1980, the reason he gave was
that the sunspot maximum was coming earlier than he expected.  People
wonder why I'm leery of this guy's writings on quantum mechanics.
