More often than not, they lose, and when their predictions do match those of seismologists, Michael Antolik would likely tell you, its probably a matter of good old-fashioned luck. Antolik, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, is working to improve the locating of earthquakes. No, he cant move them from one place to another, but he is making them easier to find.https://dev.news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2002/03/15-earthquake-450-11.jpg
