28. Why Can’t We Predict Earthquakes?
from Freakonomics Radio · host Freakonomics Radio + Stitcher
We talk to a U.S. Geological Survey physicist about the science -- and folly -- of predicting earthquakes. There are lots of known knowns; and, fortunately, not too many unknown unknowns. But it's the known unknowns -- the timing of the next Big One -- that are the most dangerous. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
