Abstract
It is widely recognized by many within the scientific community that the field of seismology faces challenges in aligning with established scientific practices for studying earthquakes. Some views may suggest a reliance on methods that resemble divination rather than sound scientific inquiry. Despite efforts to understand seismic phenomena over the past three centuries [1], progress in seismology has been perceived as somewhat stagnant. Criticisms have been raised about certain theories, such as Mr. Reid’s Elastic Recoil theory from 1910 [2], and its purported advancements in comprehending seismic processes. While acknowledging various perspectives on this matter [3]-[7], it is important to reflect on the historical context and potential limitations in our understanding. Addressing concerns raised within the discipline involves examining educational practices and fostering a rigorous academic environment to promote scientific excellence. This article aims to explore the underlying factors contributing to the current state of seismology, offering insights into overcoming challenges and fostering advancements that benefit the scientific community and society as a whole.
