A seismometer in central Bergen detected small ground vibrations during Norway’s FIFA World Cup matches. Clear signals appeared when goals were scored against Senegal in their 3-2 win. The device, placed in the basement of the Science Building, measures movements as small as one millionth of a millimeter. Vibrations likely resulted from synchronized crowd movement or sound. Professors noted that the readings reflect Bergen’s lively atmosphere and strong community energy during the games.
