Episode Details

A late-night falafel in Jerusalem becomes the entry point into a hidden seismic world. Most earthquakes are tiny, imperceptible, and happen constantly — the USGS recorded over 1.2 million seismic events in 2025, and only 20,000 were felt by anyone. This episode explores the gap between human perception and instrument sensitivity, the Gutenberg-Richter law that predicts ten times more earthquakes for every step down in magnitude, and why the fault under Jerusalem is always crackling with micro-quakes we'll never notice.
