在2026年世界杯期间,挪威卑尔根市在国家队进球时产生了强烈的地面震动,这种震动并非由地震引起,而是球迷庆祝所致。卑尔根大学的研究团队发现,球迷的狂热庆祝会产生显著的地面震动,并能被校园地下室中极为敏感的地震仪记录下来。
地震学家在挪威对阵伊拉克以及塞内加尔的比赛期间,均观测到了异常的震动讯号。特别是在前锋哈兰德(Erling Haaland)进球时,讯号最为明显;该仪器精度高达百万分之一公厘,能够精准捕捉到这些由人类活动引起的微小震动。
研究人员解释说,成千上万人同时欢呼、跳跃和呐喊所产生的能量,会透过建筑物传导至地面。虽然体育赛事或音乐会引起震动并非首例,但卑尔根的案例再次证明了人类的集体狂热如何被用以观测地球的科学仪器所量化。
During the 2026 World Cup, the city of Bergen, Norway, experienced noticeable ground vibrations when the national team scored. Researchers from the University of Bergen discovered that these tremors were not caused by geological events but by intense fan celebrations, which were captured by highly sensitive seismometers located in a campus basement.
Geophysicists recorded these anomalous seismic signals during Norway's matches against Iraq and Senegal, with the vibrations becoming particularly distinct when striker Erling Haaland scored. The seismometer used is capable of detecting ground movements with an extraordinary precision of one-millionth of a millimeter.
Researchers explained that the energy generated by thousands of people cheering, jumping, and shouting simultaneously travels through buildings and into the ground. Although detecting sports events or concerts is not entirely new, the Bergen case serves as another clear example of how collective human enthusiasm can be scientifically measured by instruments designed for Earth studies.
