AI Summary

A recent study has found that the city of Bergen in Norway experiences small seismic vibrations each time the local football team scores. These vibrations were detected using a seismometer, a device that measures ground movements, and were most pronounced during a recent FIFA World Cup match when a key player, Erling Haaland, scored. The phenomenon is likely due to the large number of people gathering in the city to watch the match, resulting in a collective physical response that generates seismic activity.
