‘The Odyssey’ Sold Tickets a Year in Advance and Things Got Crazy

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-22 13:00:18

The Odyssey tells the story of one man’s long journey home after the Trojan War. And while the journey to Christopher Nolan’s adaptation won’t be nearly as perilous, it is certainly off to quite the start. The film opens in theaters July 17, 2026, which is exactly one year from today. And, earlier this week, showtimes for the film began mysteriously showing up on ticketing websites. Surely, no one would sell tickets for a movie a year in advance, right? Only that’s exactly what happened. And it

Android Phones Can Detect Earthquakes Before the Ground Starts Shaking

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-07-22 13:00:20

Since their first implementation in Mexico and Japan, earthquake early-warning (EEW) systems have provided critical advance notice of imminent earthquakes to countless people. Many seismic countries, however, still don’t have the infrastructure necessary to sustain such crucial networks, leaving their populations vulnerable to devastating earthquakes. Researchers in the U.S. and Germany have tested a global earthquake detection and alert system that makes use of a device many people already own

80 Years After the Trinity Atomic Blast, New Mexico’s Downwinders May Finally See Reparations

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-07-22 17:55:56

Eighty years after the Trinity Test brought nuclear fallout to their communities, New Mexico residents living downstream of the test may finally be eligible for long-sought reparations. In the early hours of July 16, 1945, the U.S. Army detonated the world’s first atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project, near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Radioactive ash soon began to fall over large swaths of the surrounding regions. Since then, survivors of the U.S. federal government’s nuclear testing progra

The Latest ‘Alien: Earth’ Trailer Adds Even More Alien Monsters

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-22 21:30:25

In the Alien movies, one killer species is more than enough for humanity to deal with. Actually, it’s almost always too much. Most everyone usually dies. But, in Alien: Earth, which comes to FX on August 12, it’s not just that iconic xenomorph the characters will have to deal with. Four other killer monsters have crash-landed on our planet too. Let the fun begin. From the mind of Noah Hawley, Alien: Earth takes a whole new look at the franchise made famous by the likes of Ridley Scott and James

A Meteor Impact May Have Caused a Giant Landslide in the Grand Canyon

What Makes Cheap Earbuds a Real Value (or Not)? I Dug In to Find Out
