| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper discusses some methodological questions on understanding
disasters. Destructive earthquakes continue to claim thousands of lives.
Tsunamis may be caused by recoil of the upper plate. Darwin's twin-epicenter
hypothesis is applied to a theory of tsunamis. The ergodicity hypothesis may
help to estimate the return periods of extremely rare events. A social
science outline on the causation of the Tôhoku nuclear disaster is
provided. |
