Science – Earth gives off a relentless hum of countless notes completely imperceptible to the human ear, like a giant, exceptionally quiet symphony, but the origin of this sound remains a mystery. Now unexpected powerful tunes have been discovered in this hum. These new findings could shed light on the source of this enigma.
I wonder if it hums to any tune? Did ya know the sun sings?
No i didn't know the sun had a ring! I guess i'm not too old to learn, only problem is, it's more exciting to learn at my age now than it was when i SHOULD have been learning this stuff.
uhmm. Wait.. I don't think they even knew this stuff back then!
Nowadays we have the Alien Abduction/Science of the Universe Channel, formerly known as the Nazi/American Civil War Channel and most commonly known as the History Channel!
lol, yeah, i have those, er, i mean the History Channel..
Odd how much it seems to concentrate on that sort of stuff now, isn't it? Originally at least it tended to concentrate on history, now its just alien abduction stories... hmmm, what's on it now? Ahhhh, it seems to be about the moon Europa! A rather cold place...
I got sick for about a month 3 years ago.. didn't leave the house... much.. I LEARNED MORE ABOUT HITLER AND NAZI GERMANY in one month than any human needs...
course i forgot most of it.. but...
Really? Just about every single time I have it on nowadays its about aliens abducting people or stellar phenomena.
I must have been "lucky" ... they do seem to shift the focus.....
I have participated in "market studies" / focus group for a local company.... one about BEER tasting which was right up my alley... and another was about programming for an UNKNOWN channel... it was either the History or the Discovery Channel...so I'm quite sure they do the same things politicians do... put their finger in the air so to speak to see which way the wind is blowing...
I don't watch anything too much.. but being a captive audience for a while is enlightening...
by the way nice to see you're back posting.. it seemed you were absent for a while.. or we just weren't interested in the same things..
I've not been the most active poster the last few days. I had some stuff to do. I've posted on a few threads but not much in that time, probably just not on the same threads. Yeah, they probably use focus groups and the like. I tend to have the History Channel on here 24/7, even when I'm not paying attention. A definite trend, particularly on Tuesdays, is tending towards general alien phenomena.
Ever heard a pulsar? How about the leonid meteor shower? The universe is a giant orchestra with every object, every particle giving off a vibration. Even us.
Hence- The Music Of The Spheres.
It's all vibrations Baby!
Rock on, universe, rock on.
"The universe is a giant orchestra with every object, every particle giving off a vibration. Even us."
That is a fact that I have studied in the past and the reason why humans enjoy good music so much, it flows through us as vibrations, "Good Vibrations". Then there are the Bad vibrations, the sounds that irritate us.
EE, you touch on a fascinating point -- during their short and dreadful administration in Afghanistan, the Taliban banned all music for that very reason, the enjoyment brought on by good rhythms and melodies was considered ill-suited to the strictures and dictates of their interpretation of Islam, medieval style.
(Sorry n2n, way off topic)
On a cold winter night I swear the Northern Lights crackle, in the summer not as much
They say that you can hear the northern lights. I have not heard them myself, but there is some indication that you can hear them.
Of course, it may also be an auditory artifact from watching too many space movies with lasers and spaceships making sound in a vacuum.
I have been watching them for 40 years, mostly in Canadian North and I am sober sometimes...lol
I've only seen them a couple of times this far south (Nebraska), but they are amazing. Both times I was sober. Dang it!!!
interesting asiide:
J.R.R. Tolkien wrote a book called the "Silmarillion" which describes the creation and history of his fiction world, "middle earth"
during the creation myth section, he describes a creator god, Illuvitar, first creating lesser Gods (angels), the Vanir, and together they cause all of creation and all of time to exist by singing in chorus. Each improvising around illuvitar. the stories tolkien then tells in his books about middle earth are supposed to be the stories written in those songs.
interesting if your in to fiction

The planet emanates a constant rumble far below the limits of human hearing, even when the ground isn't shaking from an earthquake. (It does not cause the ringing in the ear linked with tinnitus.) This sound, first discovered a decade ago, is one that only scientific instruments - seismometers - can detect. Researchers call it Earth's hum.
Investigators suspect this murmur could originate from the churning ocean, or perhaps the roiling atmosphere. To find out more, scientists analyzed readings from an exceptionally quiet Earth-listening research station at the Black Forest Observatory in Germany, with supporting data from Japan and China.
Who knew the earth had a hum!? I wonder if it's caused by the speed at which the earth revolves etc.
No that is Pink Floyd rehearsing their next album
lol, and i love Pink Floyd!
All this time i thought it was me in the shower..lol..go figure.
No, it was not you. That was 'n2n' exposing naked SOUL in order to create more "confusions"
n2n it could be caused by friction as the earth rotates there is a bit of drag between the atmosphere and the earth. Theres a meterologist term for it...can't recall the name off hand.
Coriolis effect or something like that.
great article. It could also be from the differential speed of rotation between the 10 mile upper crust and the core.
