Earth's mysterious 'humming' vibration has surged for more than a week, prompting reports from some people who say the phenomenon is disrupting their sleep and causing ringing in their ears.
Known as the Schumann Resonance, this natural vibration is often described as the Earth's 'heartbeat,' a steady electromagnetic rhythm generated by lightning bouncing between the planet's surface and the ionosphere, which sits roughly 30 to 600 miles above the surface in the atmosphere.
Space weather monitoring app MeteoAgent reported an intense surge in Schumann Resonance readings starting on Monday, labeling them 'high' and potentially disruptive. However, experts cautioned that such measurements can fluctuate naturally.
The Earth's main frequency typically pulses around 7.83 cycles per second, measured in Hertz (Hz), with several higher-frequency bands also detected.
Some researchers and wellness advocates believe that these frequencies overlap with human brain wave patterns associated with sleep, relaxation and concentration.
Mainstream scientists have argued that research on their biological effects has been inconclusive. However, many people battling insomnia this week have already blamed the surging atmospheric disturbance for various ailments over the last four days.
'Feeling like gravity got thick. Ears ringing. Even my eyesight has been blurry. What’s up with the Schumann?' one person wrote on social media.
Anecdotal reports have frequently linked resonance spikes to people suddenly hearing ringing in the ears, feeling muscle tension, fatigue and brain fog, but medical experts have warned that these claims are not backed by strong clinical evidence.

More like Foghat, because I'm certain the ringing is from too many rock concerts attended over time.
I don’t see any suggestion of that in the article.
(But are you against NSF grants for studies that may be useful and valuable, too?)
[Feeling like gravity]
Man,
That’s Heavy.
I have an eerie ringing, too. Except mine came from gunshots, loud rock and roll music and construction.
I saw Foghat last year.
Met the guitarist and the lead singer and got a picture with them.
Saw Roger Earl walk by about 20-30 feet away but didn’t get to speak with him.
Last surviving original member.
That would tend to be a chronic problem, not one that is only activated by changes in the Schumann resonance.
There WAS a lot of ‘chronic’ present at those shows, but I don’t know if that contributed to the problem.
>>are you against NSF grants for studies that may be useful and valuable, too?
In theory, given an ethical, properly staffed and managed NSF — I’m not against.
In PRACTICE — given what we have recently seen with our own eyes — OH HELL YES I’m against it!
It mostly comes down to management. And anymore my kneejerk reaction is HARD OPPOSE anything they think to fund. They have earned that.
>> I have an eerie ringing, too.
I think you deserve compensation! Call our law offices at xxx-xxx-xxxx right away! :-)
I always attributed the ringing in my ears to the Black Sabbath-Blue Oyster Cult concert I attended over forty five years ago.
This one?

It all depends on the author.

Were you wearing your Fog Hat?
When expressed in MS/m (megasiemens per meter), which is the standard unit for comparing metals (but does not reflect their densities), Ag (Silver) has the highest conductivity (at about 63 MS/m), followed by Cu (Copper) at 59, Al (Aluminum) at 37, Fe (Iron) at 10, and Sn (Tin) at 9. (NOTE: That's a random selection of metallic elements.)
So I think that it's unfair of you to claim that Al is a "poor" conductor.
If we were to instead fashion same-weight wires out of these elements (thus, the low-density elements such as Al would have thicker wires), Aluminum would be the clear winner, being more than TWICE as conductive as Copper or Silver and TEN TIMES better than Iron or Tin.

I would just once like to know the names of these “experts”.
😃😄🤣🤣
Thank you for the sanity break. I think he was comparing aluminum foil to Leonard Bernstein.
