The Schumann Resonance is 7.83 cycles per second (7.83 Hz). Named after Winfried Otto Schumann, the Schumann Resonance is said to be the frequency of the Earth’s vibration. This puts the Schumann Resonance in the ELF (extremely low frequency) range of the Earth’s total electromagnetic spectrum. The Schumann Resonance is also associated with 13.8 Hz,…
TZ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Antarctica If you thought the time zones in your country were a big enough hassle, you’ll find the hodgepodge of time zones observed in Antarctica an outright mess. Although logically Antartic, situated at the Earth’s southern pole, should have a bit of each longitudinally defined time zone in it. Instead, the scarcely population continent…

Bioengineers at Stanford University have turned living cells into data storage devices that can store a rewriteable small amount data, just like silicon devices. Sections of DNA in the researchers’ engineered cells can sit in one of two positions, representing the 0s and 1s of digital data. “Essentially, if the DNA section points in one…
