When watching Meade and Murphy's interview, one of the things that stood out to me was that Meade said that we do not have adequate algorithms or essentially rules to predict earthquakes accurately. I would've wanted to ask him if he believes that is because our current mathematical tools (namely DEs) don't satisfy the properties of the systems we are studying, or because there is simply not enough data yet (pre-earthquake) to properly draw conclusions from, or a combination of both. Based on that previous question, I would have wanted to ask him in what ways we could hope to solve that problem, and some concrete steps forward the scientific community (in general or specifically the portion that studies earthquakes) should take.
