Some thoughts on earthquake prediction and forecast

Based on the perspective of earthquake researchers, we summarized the difficulties of the earthquake forecast and prediction, and analyzed the relationship between natural seismology and social seismology. In the current situation, we discussed the anti-interference ability and the stability of the instruments, talent team construction, the relationship between daily work and the scientific research requirements, the insufficient confidence of earthquake prediction and forecast, scientific research and earthquake prediction/forecast, and etc. Finally, we provided some preliminary suggestions and ideas.
