Perhaps there is a connection, perhaps not. My quirky pension for looking at links between unrelated items gets me wandering down the proverbial rabbit hole. In this case, I realized that on Thursday, July 18, the same day as former Donald Trump’s nomination acceptance speech at the RNC, I learned it was International Nelson Mandela Day.
While my brain works in ways I don’t always understand, I started thinking about Nelson Mandela, the effect named after him, and how legacy media and the federal government are telling us to reject what we see and hear. As I lay in bed with a cold, influenced by a medication to help me stop “coughing, sniffling, sneezing, so I can rest better,” I recalled the Schumann effect.
The Schumann effect, known as Schumann resonances, refers to global electromagnetic resonances generated and excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the surface of the Earth and the ionosphere.
These resonances occur at extremely low frequencies, with the fundamental frequency around 7.83 Hz. Recent theories suggest a fascinating link between these resonances and the Mandela effect, challenging the understanding of mainstream science.
The space between the surface and the ionosphere is a resonant cavity for electromagnetic waves. When lightning strikes, it generates electromagnetic waves that travel around the Earth, creating standing waves at specific frequencies. The primary frequency of these resonances is 7.83 Hz, but there are also higher harmonics at approximately 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.
Schumann resonances are used to monitor global lightning activity and are a suggested method to study climate and ionosphere changes. Some researchers also explore their potential effects on human consciousness and health, proposing that these resonances could influence brain function in ways not yet fully understood.
The Schumann and Mandela effect share a connection. The Mandela effect is a psychological phenomenon where a large group of people remember an event or detail differently from how it occurred. Named after Nelson Mandela, this phenomenon gained its name because many people falsely remembered him dying in prison in the 1980s, even though he passed away in 2013.
The Schumann-Mandela hypothesis suggests that the electromagnetic fields generated by Schumann resonances could influence brain activity and memory formation, potentially leading to collective false memories or the Mandela effect. Techniques like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) use electromagnetic fields to influence brain activity, affecting mood and memory. While these methods controlled for treating conditions like depression and OCD, they hint at the broader potential of electromagnetic fields to influence cognitive processes.
There is intriguing evidence that Schumann resonances influence the brains of animals. The frequency of 7.83 Hz interacts with biological systems in various ways. Schumann affects the circadian rhythm of animals, influencing sleep patterns, feeding behaviors, and other daily activities. Exposure to Schumann resonances is to changes in melatonin levels, a hormone that regulates sleep and wakefulness, playing a crucial role in maintaining the circadian rhythm.
Some studies show that the frequencies of Schumann resonances can synchronize with brainwaves, particularly in the low-frequency range of six-to-16 Hz. Schumann also influences the human brain, impacting synchronization, learning, memory, and dream states, leading to the Mandella effect.
The fact that electromagnetic fields can impact brain activity supports the Schumann-Mandela hypothesis. Geomagnetic influences, including geomagnetic storms, can alter brain wave patterns, especially in the alpha frequency range, and affect cognitive functions like attention and memory. These disruptions in natural brainwave cycles could result in vivid dreams that seem real, potentially leading to false memories.
While mainstream science has not established a direct link between the two effects and the creation of false memories, the Schumann-Mandela hypothesis is worth exploring. Speculative ideas often drive scientific advancements, and curiosity about potential connections between Schumann and the Mandela effects could lead to important discoveries. Concepts like space travel, submarines, and smartphones were once considered far-fetched, yet they became reality through exploration and innovation.
In conclusion, while the connection between Schumann resonances and the Mandela effect remains speculative, the potential influence of electromagnetic fields on brain function and memory formation is an intriguing area of research. Further investigation into the Schumann-Mandela hypothesis could deepen our understanding of both phenomena and uncover new insights into the workings of the human brain.
And while I am aware that I haven’t been sleeping very well the last couple of nights, I wonder if I missed a shift in the Universe because I was drugged off my ass to help me get the sleep I never got.
