• 7:45
  back to the show. Let's talk science. A mountain
• 7:49
  secretly collapsed in Greenland, and then the
• 7:52
  earth rang like a bell for nine straight days.
• 7:55
  Scientists traced the mysterious global vibration
• 7:58
  back to a single 650 -foot wave violently trapped
• 8:02
  inside a remote waterway. In September and October
• 8:06
  of 2023, an unknown seismic pulse was generated
• 8:10
  by the Earth every 90 seconds. This seismic activity
• 8:14
  was believed to be caused by a SAGE, or standing
• 8:17
  wave, triggered by a landslide and a powerful
• 8:20
  Magat tsunami in Dixenfjord. Using advanced satellite
• 8:25
  data, researchers concluded that the observed
• 8:28
  variability was consistent with a slowly decaying
• 8:31
  SAGE. And in entertainment news, the new series
• 8:39
  CIA is a thrilling addition to Dick Wolf's FBI
