Why We Can't Predict Earthquakes

The video explores the challenges of predicting earthquakes, highlighting the lack of reliable indicators despite advances in science. It discusses the potential of animal behavior as a predictor, though evidence remains anecdotal. Mathematical models like the devil's staircase offer insights into earthquake patterns. Engineering solutions are being developed to protect structures from seismic activity. The video also addresses the looming threat of a megaquake in the Pacific Northwest and emphasizes the importance of preparedness.
