Since today there are no spoilers I tell you about a topic Interestingly enough ... we talk about Raffaele Bendandi!
Can we predict earthquakes? Bendandi claimed to be able to predict earthquakes - Raffaele Bendandi, also known as the man of earthquakes, was born in Faenza, 17 October 1893.
Bendandi said he had discovered how to produce earthquakes and said to be able to predict an earthquake.
was born from a humble family in the area traditionally known as Old Spinning Mill, which could not afford to continue with higher education (he finished elementary school, a course for technical drawing and became an apprentice to a watchmaker); yet at the age of 10 years was already fond of astronomy and geophysics, both to be built only by a telescope and some gyroscopes (in fact he was a wood sculptor by profession). Following the earthquake of Messina on 28 December 1908, became interested in earthquakes, and succeeded, according to him, even to predict them. After his experience as an apprentice to a watchmaker, he enrolled in an Art School, to become a carver of religious statues and chandeliers, Emilia. During the Great War served as a mechanic in an air squadron. You can define the Bendandi as a self-taught scientist who in 1920 formulated his theory of "seismogenic".
His theory has its origins in a walk along the beach, while serving on guard during his naja: in 1919 he senses that the earth's crust, as well as the tides, is subject to the effects of gravitational pull of the moon. His theory for the prediction of earthquakes (never recognized by the scientific community) was in fact based on the fact that the moon and other planets (along with the Sun) are the cause of the movements of the crust, which actually swollen, deformed and evokes the Earth's crust, with timing and rhythm-dependent position of celestial bodies. He went on with his studies also using a mini laboratory moved into a deep cave of ' Tosco-Romagnolo . One of his
made her first involuntary prediction for the earthquake of Marsica January 13, 1915, when he realized that 27 October of the previous year had left a note in this regard.
Until then very few people believe his theories, November 23, 1923 before the notary of Faenza decided to write his own prediction: January 2, 1924 an earthquake will occur in the Marche. The earthquake actually occurred, but two days later. However, the Corriere della Sera devoted the front page, calling him to predict earthquakes, and his fame grew so also internationally. In his studies, was also in charge of astronomy, geophysics, magnetic, cosmic and atmospheric studies, and atmospheric radioactivity atomici.Oltre in relation to his personal purposes, its main activity was a carpenter, built with this task and managed to sell some of its models of seismographs, even in America. He succeeded in his small to acquire even a small scientific library.
During the Fascist period, namely in 1927 was appointed first by Mussolini Knight of the Order of the Crown of Italy , but was warned by publishing further predictions on earthquakes in Italy, on pain of exile, but in fact he continued to do so, but other American newspapers.
After thoroughly studied, in 1931 the Pontifical Academy Bendandi reliable method he discovered to interpret the eleven-year cycle of the Sun, and can result in self-financing to publish "A fundamental principle of the Universe," where he describes his previous discovery.
During his life, namely in 1959, Bendandi also discovered a new planet in the solar system between Mercury and the Sun, which he named after his hometown, Faenza.
Only later, in 1972 the American astronomer Wood and in 1976 the British astronomer Smith brought forward the method developed by Bendandi for the prediction of earthquakes, going to improve the analysis and results.
An earthquake in Friuli in 1976 was provided by his theory, he unsuccessfully tried to warn authorities authorities, which treated him as a charlatan.
was found dead, perhaps for reasons mysterious, November 3, 1979, at his home observatory in Via Faenza 17 of Manara.
Bendandi, through his method, he also predicted a devastating earthquake in the city of Rome and surrounding areas for the day May 11, 2011, and another earthquake in size even more apocalyptic for between 5-6 April 2012, when several earthquakes hit patchy throughout the world.
