Beneath the surface of every earthquake lies a record — and now, for the first time, a machine has read two million of them at once. Researchers trained an artificial intelligence in the physics of seismic waves and unleashed it on decades of planetary data, where it found six structural zones deep in Earth's mantle that no human team had ever formally identified. The discovery is less a single answer than a new set of questions: about how the planet's interior has evolved over billions of years, and about what it means when a machine becomes the instrument through which nature finally reveals
