Mankind is exploring everything, from the universe to the microcosm. However, mainstream science has a negative attitude to earthquake prediction and even maintains that earthquake prediction is inherently impossible. The public has the right to ask why earthquake prediction is the only restricted research area? Has anyone said it is inherently impossible to explore the Mars? Why discriminate against earthquake prediction only? The success of a medium-term earthquake prediction for a Japan Sea strong earthquake challenged the earthquake prediction skepticism. The paper emphasized the rigorous of prediction process and the solid of its evidences which were first-time published. The success of the prediction based on the model of plate breakup and migration pattern of large shallow earthquakes under the Japan Sea should provide an impetus to similar investigation elsewhere. The paper is good example of an earthquake being successfully predicted in terms of where, when and how big even focal depth. The successful prediction was confirmation of the paleo-rift re-breaked model under Japan Sea. The author is deeply worried about the geological future of the Japanese archipelago.
