On October 5, 2024, Iran was an earthquake. In just a few minutes, the rumors began to spread to social media as a natural event. But is a secret Iranian nuclear weapon test
The researchers are now led by Johns Hopkins University. study Published on 3 February in the journal earthquake– Their work denies that earthquakes are normal earthquakes while focusing on the risk of scientific information during the period of political tension.
“There is a campaign and distorting information around this event, which promotes the idea that this is a nuclear test, which is not what you tend to see the earthquake.” Benjamin Fernando or John Han Aopkins, which is the leader of the education. The study said in the study, said that in the study, in the study of the study, bringing education in statement– “This shows how the geometric information plays an important role in the political crisis.”
Less than a year after Hamasa's attack on Israel 4.5, earthquake (covered nuclear testing organization report Size 4.2) collided about 31 miles (50 kilometers) in the southwest of Iran, Seminan and 135 miles (216 km) in the East of the capital of Tehran.
Several months later, Fernando and his colleagues analyzed the events by using the information revealed to the public from the earthquake inspection station. Earthquakes studying earthquakes by recording the shaking waves from various points around the world. They concluded that “the source (the earthquake) is what we call a reverse error – movement related to the earth's crust. Dominated like Arab and Asia collided. “Fernando explained They cut any relationships between the events and nuclear tests. “The nuclear test has a very different signature, which bombed,” Fernando added.
In addition, the organization prohibits the comprehensive test (CTBTO), which follows the world's nuclear tests confirming that Similar earthquakes Occurred in the regions in 2015 and 2018 due to the location between the Arab and Asian plates that meet, Iran is well -known as the active region.
However, rumors that earthquake activities do not spread quickly in social media. The study found that the post appeared for the first time in X less than 20 minutes after the vibration – the opinions claimed that the shaking was caused by the attack of Israel in Iran. The first suggestion for nuclear tests caused an earthquake appears 27 minutes after vibration. From there, the information is wrong, focuses on the incorrect interpretation of earthquakes and conspiracy theory, as well as what the author says is to distort the information used.
Iran has been to nuclear since last night.
They use a 10 km bomb test under the surface near Seeman to ensure a minimum radiation and resulting in an earthquake 4.6, which was recorded by an earthquake.#Iran #Khamenai #Nuclear #Hesrael pic.twitter.com/bsdfywdq5– akhilesh kumar (@akumar92) October 6, 2024
Iran's nuclear project is the center of tensions in the Middle East for decades, with Iran still maintaining peace while the United States and the partner work to prevent nuclear weapons development. The allegations of secret nuclear weapons test may push the region – and the world – to war.
The challenge to identify the distorting data that is used to distinguish strategic information that is incorrect from ignorance. Earthquakes “have been blessed by some interaction between social media.” It may indicate a human writer who has expertise in this content. ” Suggestions and intent efforts to misunderstand
While scientists pointed out in new studies, newspapers around the world quickly picked up about madness, including stores in the United States, France, United Kingdom, Israel, Pakistan and Zimbabwe. Mainstream English media “Specific predictions (Or entertainment is something else) that this event may be a nuclear test. “The researchers wrote
As a result, “These articles may be seen as a support of the spread of the wrong information indirectly by providing reliability and vision, interpretation of complex earthquake data. On the other hand, and sometimes researchers found that language media, news agencies, generally reporting more accurate events, often with local experts.
In the end, the researchers gave advice on how the science community was able to prevent incorrect information in the future.
“The science agency can report quickly to respond to the wrong information.” Saman Karimi from Johns Hopkins University introduced the author of the study. “The expansion of content from the science that has been inspected can help reduce the storytelling. Misleading This can be done through a partner between social media platforms and terms of earthquakes or reliable agencies such as the US geological survey. “
In the end, the study emphasized how scientific information can affect the world.
