Shivers, Shakes & Seismic Waves'

Fifty centimetres beneath Dublin’s roads lies a forgotten telecom fibre. In June, we gave it a voice. Laser pulses turned it into thousands of sensors under the Luas Green Line, and it heard everything: cars, rain, footsteps… and trams. But our witness couldn’t say where it stood, so we followed the trams to their stops. There, the secrets began: hidden coils of fibre, channels screaming only noise, and ghost trams on the far track. Can we trust the witness? Who silenced the channels? Tonight, two feet under the Green Line, the fibre is still listening.

The depths of the seas, yet so vast and essential for humankind, still hold many secrets and mysteries that haunt sailors and explorers. But hold on, there is something listening to these whispers of the deep: fibre optic cables. They are deployed underwater as well, stretching across the world's seas and oceans. And they are listening. From whales and ships to earthquakes, tides and even ocean storms, these fibres capture them all. Sometimes we would prefer some things to remain secret. Come with us on a trip beneath the water that will show you how these signals can be revealed.
