psychoceramics: "Local Geophysical Resonance"

[Bob Ebert <e--@u--.com>]

Forwarding from RISKS digest <http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks>, volume 19
issue 80 article 10 <http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/19.80.html#subj10>.

The original article to Risks (link below) and the "Independent
Catastrophes Investigation Center" (also linked below) are psychoceramic
candidates.  :)

>The first one (http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/19.58.html#subj8) aroused my
>curiosity.  I found the following interesting facts:
>
>1) Alexandre N. Sinyakov seems to be the only name attached to this
>phenomenon.  He is the researcher who discovered it, the person who wrote
>the computer models, the person who posts all the notices and letters, and
>the person who heads the "Independent Catastrophes Investigation Center"
>(see http://www.aanet.ru/nauka/siniakov/siniakov.html) whose sole purpose
>seems to be to attach LGR as a cause to various catastrophes.
>
>2) No news media (other than RISKS) seems to have carried any stories on
>LGR.
>
>3) Nowhere could I find anything approximating a comprehensible and/or
>scientific description of what causes LGR, or what LGR is.
>
>From these facts, I conclude that the "LGR phenomenon" is more of a
>publicity stunt than a valid scientific phenomenon. Such apparently
>unsubstantiated and bizarre material seems out of place in RISKS. I would be
>curious to hear from Professor Sinyakov or anyone else more familiar with
>LGR, or from anyone with an interest in debunking and a little more spare
>time than myself. :)
