If you picture a forest in your mind, you probably see straight, proud trunks rising like columns in a quiet green cathedral.

The ground almost always moves before it breaks, but for more than a century seismologists have struggled to decode those early whispers.

Everywhere you look, from the swirl of a hurricane on satellite images to the spiral of a snail’s shell, the universe seems to be quietly repeating itself.
