我国著名的地球物理学家,石油地质学家翁文波教授所著《预测论基础》已正式出版。这是他经过20多年的研究,总结写成的有关预测的一本专著。1966年3月8日和22日邢台发生地震之后,4月27日周总理接见了翁文波和另一位科学家,谈及研究科学预测工作,减少自然灾害的损失。他把周总理殷切的希望一直铭刻在心,就是在十年风雨之中条件极为艰苦时,他仍然坚持预测论的研究工作。近年来他做出了多次有关地震、干旱、暴雨等预报已为实践所证明,预测论所介绍的理论和方法是很有远景的方法。当前不少专家认为:在我国经济建设中,最重要的地球物理问题有两个,一是资源勘 The well-known geophysicist and petroleum geologist Professor Wen-Bo Weng has published the “Basis of Forecasting Theory”. This is a monograph on his forecast compiled after more than 20 years of his research. On March 27 and March 22, 1966, following the earthquake in Xingtai, Premier Chou Weng met with another scientist on April 27 to talk about studying scientific prediction and reducing losses from natural disasters. He insisted on Premier Zhou’s ardent hopes always insisting on the research of predictive theory when the conditions were extremely tough during the ten-year storm. In recent years, he has made many forecasts that earthquakes, droughts and torrential rain have been proved by practice. The theories and methods introduced in forecasting theory are very promising. At present, many experts think: In our country’s economic construction, there are two most important problems in geophysics. One is resource exploration
