Every time Norway scores, the whole city of Bergen shakes
During Norway's first match of the FIFA World Cup against Iraq on June 17, several small vibrations were recorded on the seismometer. A particularly clear signal was observed when Erling Haaland scored.
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.
