Can earthquakes be predicted? Dutch scientist's forecast of October 3 Nepal quake

Hindustan Times  

Dutch scientist and researcher Frank Hoogerbeets, who is widely known for his earthquake forecast, predicted an earthquake in or near Pakistan ahead of the recent 6.3 earthquake that hit Nepal sending tremors across New Delhi and neighbouring areas. There were four earthquakes including a 6.2 magnitude earthquake that was even felt 400-500km from the epicentre in Nepal However, United States Geological Survey states that massive earthquakes cannot be predicted. USGS scientists can only calculate the probability that a significant earthquake will occur in a specific area within a certain number of years.” Netherlands-based Hoogerbeets, who is a researcher for the Solar System Geometry Survey, said over a week ago that Pakistan would face a severe earthquake stating detection of sudden surges in electrical charge fluctuations. Nepal Earthquake Nepal was hit by four earthquakes, the strongest being of 6.3 and 4.6 magnitudes, on October 3 in the Bajhang district neighbouring India, killing one and injuring at least 16 people.
