摘要

Catastrophic earthquakes (EQs) (M ≥ 8) and global ionospheric plasma variations exhibit unexpected planetary orbital periodicities that cannot be explained by known (geo)physical processes. In this study, we identify a robust pre seismic signature in the Total Electron Content (TEC) of the ionosphere that precedes major EQs by up to two months. This finding leads to a novel forecasting method for large magnitude events, providing a significant advance warning window. We propose that the underlying causal triggering mechanism for such correlated phenomena fits-in the scenario of gravitational focusing of galactic dark matter (DM) streams by the solar system bodies. In this framework, Earth based observational tools like the global GPS network can serve a dual role: monitoring terrestrial dynamics and acting as possible sensitive detectors for DM. We demonstrate how continuous GPS recordings can be exploited to project, in real time, the likely timing and location of major seismic events. This interdisciplinary approach provides a novel route to enhance the reliability of catastrophic EQ forecasting. Concurrently, it offers a new method for the direct detection of the dark sector following otherwise unexpected planetary dependencies. While the Axion Quark Nugget (AQN) framework provides an interesting basis for these results, the identified precursors remain model-independent.
