Aarthquake 'forecasting' website Ditrianum had recently reported that a huge earthquake with potentially a high 7 to 8+ magnitude could strike the Earth on Friday and if it does then the massive destruction was inevitable. Described as ‘critical geometry’ in the solar system could cause widespread destruction on Earth, a conspiracy theorist has warned. According to Ditrianum, Neptune, Venus, Mercury and the Sun were all positions in specific places in the solar system which could effect Earth.

This was because a gravitational tug of war could build tension in the tectonic plates of Earth, which could be unleashed in a devastating fashion. In last week, Frank Hoogerbeets, who runs Ditrianum, had predicted that a potentially civilisation ending tremor can strike Earth between April 30 to May 3.
