Doesn’t Google also use the phone accelerometer to try and spot earthquakes?

- jodrellblank 8mo agoI don't know, but that's a good one. I wonder if they could do something like LIGO [1] which is an experiment of shining LASERS on mirrors 4km apart, to detect gravitational waves. Phone accelerometers don't have that kind of precision, but there are hundreds of millions of them and they are thousands of miles apart, is there possibly a signal among that noise?
