       | Fascinating. At first I just thought this title was ridiculous,
       | but basically the authors are saying that the magnetic properties
       | of the core affect cosmic radiation detection, so therefore any
       | massive anomaly deep in the earth's core would
       | 
       | 1. have an effect on cosmic radiation detection, and 2. is also
       | likely to precede widespread global seismic activity.
       | 
       | They adjusted the radiation detection data for global sunspot
       | numbers and saw a correlation of the specific event of the 2010
       | Chile earthquake.
       | 
       | If this holds true for more events, a sort of "geophysical
       | weather forecast" could be possible!

       | I skimmed the paper. No mention of Martian quakes. NASA has data.
       | Does it also correlate with cosmic rays?
