Scientists can predict earthquakes in advance with accurate timing and location.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 6 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that scientists can predict earthquakes in advance with accurate timing and location?

Unclear. Peer-reviewed sources indicate earthquake prediction remains unsuccessful: Japan's national program ran since 1965 without success, and machine-learning work is limited to laboratory-scale or partial forecasting. No retrieved source demonstrates accurate advance prediction of earthquake timing and location.
