Alternate realities and doppelgangers are subjects that many genre-defining science fiction TV shows have explored. "Fringe" and "Severance" are both excellent examples of this, and if you enjoy those shows, then you should definitely check out "Dark Matter," which debuted on Apple TV in 2024. This mind-bending series blends ideas touched upon in "Fringe" and "Severance" to create something truly intriguing, and the reaction from critics and audiences alike has been positive. "Dark Matter" offers audiences a look at one man's attempt to get back to his original timeline after being kidnapped and transported to an alternate version of his life. That man is Jason Dessen, played by Joel Edgerton. He's left desperately trying to find a way home after being displaced by a version of himself from another timeline. Jennifer Connelly is fantastic as Jason's wife, and Alice Braga also brings her A-game as the girlfriend of Jason2.

Scientists cannot predict exactly when and where the next earthquake will strike. But a decade-long experiment suggests some forecasting models can reliably predict patterns in earthquake activity, offering new evidence that could help agencies better communicate seismic risks. Researchers evaluated 27 earthquake forecasting models using more than 51,000 forecasts generated between 2007 and 2018. They compared the forecasts with 597 earthquakes recorded in California, testing whether the models accurately described the number, locations and magnitudes of seismic events that occurred after each forecast was issued. The findings come from a decade-long experiment in California that tested 27 earthquake forecasting models against nearly 600 recorded earthquakes. The study, published in Nature Communications in August and highlighted in the university's Oct. 15 news release, could help scientists improve systems used to communicate changing earthquake risks. The study does not offer a way to predict the next major earthquake.
