Hi Bob. Thank you for using the word apophenia. Apophenia is the
spontaneous perception of connections and meaningfulness of unrelated
phenomena. K. Conrad coined the term in 1958.

I came in contact with it in 1962 when I was an analyst for the Air
Force. I had to take a course in psychology. Didn't understand why
then, don't understand why now.

There is currently a controversial debate concerning whether unusual
experiences are symptoms of a mental disorder, if mental disorders are
a consequence of such experiences, or if people with mental disorders
are especially susceptible to or even looking for these experiences.

I have no doubt that Ed indeed sees a connection, but as to how I
truly don't understand. What is even harder to understand is how the
connection works for both earthquakes and tornados. That is as to how
his data works for both earthquakes and tornados, as they are two
different types of phenomena with two distinct different causes.

I know the seismologists I have talked to in the past about him all
say that he is beating a dead horse when it comes to using the moon
and sun to show how they trigger earthquakes. They have seen it all
and know that none of it works. If it did they would be using it.
