Almost half a million people are killed every year by Tsunami's including the Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004 in southeast Asia where 230,000 were killed.

Physicists and mathematicians have been working on the use of Acoustic Gravity Waves to help predict these deadly events. Acoustic gravity waves (very long sound waves) are created by trigger events such as earthquakes. Scientists believe that by using underwater hydropones we were get quite a head start to be able to predict their arrival.

“With the help of acoustic-gravity wave theory, you can now say where it started, the affected radius from the source, and the speed”
