Earthquakes & Volcanic Eruptions as Macroscopic Quantum Jumps in Zero Energy Ontology

Abstract

This article describes a  quantum model of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as macroscopic quantum jumps "big" (ordinary) state function reductions as opposed to "small" state function reductions identified as counterparts of "weak" measurements. The  occurrence  of these phenomena correlates strongly  with sunspot minima, cosmic rays seem to induce them but quite too deep below the Earth's surface,  and electromagnetic activity in upper atmosphere precedes rather than follows these  phenomena as one might expect. Zero energy ontology based view about macroscopic quantum jumps predicted by TGD explains these paradoxical looking findings.
