Although it is understood that most earthquakes will concentrate at plate boundaries, there is no reliable method of accurately predicting the time, place, and magnitude of an earthquake. Earthquakes are difficult or impossible to predict because of their inherent randomness and near-chaotic behavior.

New research shows that periods of "seismic quiescence"---times when there are far fewer small earthquakes in an area than normal---sometimes precede the world's strongest and most damaging earthquakes.

Major earthquakes can be predicted months in advance, argues UCLA seismologist and mathematical geophysicist Vladimir Keilis-Borok. ... In June of 2003, this team predicted an earthquake of magnitude 6.4 or higher would strike within nine months in a 310-mile region of Central California whose southern part includes San Simeon,

are on shaky ground when they state, in the title of their Perspective (1), that earthquakes cannot be predicted. In spite of their advice, we should not stop studying the physics of preparation for catastrophic rupture, in the field, the laboratory, and theoretically;
