Mazandaran earthquake issue
In spring 2005, at the same time with Mazandaran earthquake, an extending rumor originated by his works on time series analysis of earthquake waves distributed by Persian Media, postponed final examination of Sharif university of technology. Although he always denied any precise prediction of any earthquake by his works. (See his latest paper in Physical Review Letter on seismic waves.)
