Earthquake Processes Through the Lenses of Video Cameras or 'A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words'

The widespread introduction of video cameras into our daily lives has allowed us to solve several scientific mysteries and correct the errors that accompany them. For example, the textbook process of sodium explosion in water, filmed with a video camera, which seemed to have been studied "up and down" and familiar to us from the chemistry lessons at school, gave scientists not just a big, but a huge surprise. Video footage of the process showed that since the discovery of this reaction in the 19th century, absolutely all chemists in the world (100%!) were wrong about the nature of the explosion of sodium in water, and the real cause of the explosion was not the rattle gas, which forms on the contact of sodium and water, but the so-called Coulomb explosion. The same thing happened with Mr. Reid's theory of earthquakes Elastic Recoil, which has dominated geophysics as far back as 1910. Numerous CCTV cameras around the world have recorded numerous underground shock processes and have shown that seismic processes do not proceed in the way that modern geophysicists imagine and present us with the Elastic Recoil theory: "Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates slide against each other or along a fault, whose movement is hindered by friction. As a consequence, energy is stored in the rocks in the form of elastic stresses. When the stress reaches the critical point of the ultimate strength of the rocks, there is a sharp rupture of the rocks with their mutual displacement in the form of an earthquake. There is no sharp rupture of rocks, but there is an oscillatory process, in which rocks of the Earth's crust simultaneously vibrate not only in perpendicular directions but also with vertical displacements and often with circular vectors. This cannot happen with the sharp displacement of rocks in one direction, and this century-old mistake of seismologists in the form of the theory of Elastic Recoil did not allow the whole geophysics to develop and led the science into such an impassable jungle, that geophysicists will have to throw off the vines of false knowledge of seismic processes entangling them for a long time yet. This article is intended to show the deepest delusion of modern geophysicists when interpreting seismic processes.
