Not sure what they do sonically, but the day after New Years Eve, they definitely cause a headache.

The year was 1859. A solar coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetosphere and induced one of the largest geomagnetic storms on record, September 1–2, 1859, aka The Carrington event. Telegraph wires melted, some stations reported the surge caused the telegraph paper to combust. All in all, not a life changing event back then.
CMEs happen all the time, it is the nature of the sun. In 2012, although it was not widely reported by the media, we dodged a major bullet. Here is NASA report on that: https://science.nasa.gov/science-new...jul_superstorm Those that are aware of the topic are also aware that we are largely unprotected from such events. Most importantly, the power grid remains unprotected. It would take Billions of dollars to fortify the electrical grid from such events and NO ONE is in a hurry to spend that kind of coin. Today's scenario would play out very differently if we took a hit. No need to get into details but it is obvious we would have no electricity, no electronics, no cars, no trucks, no access to money, no food deliveries, no running water where it is delivered by pumps, no refrigeration, etc, etc, etc. When scientists calculated the events that would unfold if our grid was hit, (keeping in mind it would most likely happen all over the world as the earths magnetosphere and atmosphere would act as a conductor hence wiping out most of the power grids everywhere), simple statistics show that 95-98% of the population would perish in the first year. It would take between 3-10 years to restore the power grid and humanity would have to endure shortages of food and clean water delivery for that long. Take a moment to think what it would be like to live without electricity or electronics and how it would effect everything you know and depend on today. It would be complete chaos. Most of my friends are completely unaware of such a threat (similar scenario would be a nuke detonated in the atmosphere creating a huge EMP). I assume largely the population is also unaware of this. Yet, we are faced with the statistical odds it may happen any day. This threat is far more likely than an asteroid collision and we'd be tracking such an asteroid for quite some time as if we could do something about it. Not so with the CME event. There are tons of material available on this topic. Here is just a short video on it. https://youtu.be/DmT3pFg8sFg Last edited by PHC1; 01-01-2019 at 07:22 PM. |

Yes. I do enjoy the GAIA "Beyond Belief" programs with George Noory. Often very fascinating material and topics.

Come on. TWO of them? Maybe ten pair but not just two.
I bet those are about as good these High Frequency Transducers from Synergistic Research. I photographed one HFT simulator on the inner wing of the left speaker right in the center of the wing so you could see how small they are. If you can't see it, and I don't blame you, try the next photo it's a little closer, and for those who still can't see it and have normal vision, there is a close-up of one. They sold them in five-packs for about $200. They used to say you needed one five-pack, but people started using more of them. They are about 8mm in diameter and about 8mm deep. In the photo with the ruler, you see an 8mm x 8mm piece of dowel to simulate the size of the actual HFT. It takes over 1000 to cover one square foot of wall space. I guess that means the volume and selector controls on my components affect the sound more than these thingies. Yeah, Im laughing! Last edited by GaryProtein; 01-04-2019 at 07:30 PM. |

7 Officials that admitted Aliens Exist. https://youtu.be/giQ9BF3pVa0

Paul Hellyer, a former, well-regarded, Canadian defense minister, has claimed that aliens are, in fact, real and walk among us on Earth. He has accused world leaders of concealing vital information about the existence of aliens who have "been visiting our planet for thousands of years." It's shocking to hear somebody claim that at least four different species of aliens have visited the Earth, for thousands of years.
He is probably the highest ranking official of a western country to openly state that ETs and alien UFOs are real and are present on Earth. While skeptics dismiss Hellyer’s claims, he is highly regarded among alien and UFO enthusiasts as a primary witness or “insider,” having been a member of Parliament for many years and former defense minister. https://youtu.be/EgrCQpWz6iI |
