Hmm... interesting, but I am still a bit sceptic about this...
Despite the fact Im sure this supercomputer is really fast and the model quite sophisticated, IMHO it is impossible to ever completely simulate the processes in the planet core. And this also applies for forecasting weather - there will never be a computer that would be capable of simulating all the processes in the atmosphere. The major problem is that both the atmosphere and the inner core are affected by millions of factors and most importantly, there is this so-called "butterfly effect" (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect). It could therefore take into account 999 things and not that one single one and that could be the one that would determine the whole subsequent progress of things.
And in addition, I saw a documentary a few years ago, where they also mentioned the fact that some processes in the atmosphere are actually really random and can therefore never be predicted. They said that although our forecasts and their accuracy are getting better each year and we are also able to predict more and more distant future (they showed graphs of forecast accuracy in the last 50 years for various time periods), but... they also said that due to the laws of physics and the randomness factor, again in combination with the butterfly effect, there is a point beyond which we can never go.... we will probably one day reach a point where we can no longer make our forecasts more accurate (we are not there yet
Same with the earthquakes... you can make a model , which can be very sophisticated, maybe even predict some, but the problem is that you can never rely on it 100% and then this obviously means that you will still have to be prepared all the time...
