Earth's 'hum' springs from stormy seas





"Romanowicz now plans to use computer models to work out exactly how water sloshing around in the ocean basins can transfer its energy to Earth to create the rumble. Others in the field say they will only be convinced when this link has been proved."

A great many English crop circles have been found to cluster near the edges of natural underground reservoirs, suggesting a connection with water. This oceanic "humming" sounds oddly similar. The fact that it's gone undetected for so long, "disguised" as noise, is a subtle reminder that we may be missing basic forces that modify the biosphere -- and possibly even the psychosphere -- in unlikely ways.
