Earth's hum linked to coastal waves
* 17:28 15 February 2007 * NewScientist.com news service * Catherine Brahic The Earth's hum comes from the bottom of the sea and not from turbulence in the atmosphere, says a US researcher, backing a novel theory put forward in 2004. The hum is a low rumble continually present in the ground even when there are no earthquakes happening, but is detectable only by very sensitive seismometers. Its frequency is near 10 millihertz, below the range of human hearing. The Japanese researchers who first described the hum in 1998 suggested it might be caused by turbulent air in the atmosphere pounding on land. Six years later, a group of researchers led by Barbara Romanowicz from the University of California at Berkeley, US, said the hum was in fact caused by the pounding of waves, not air. The theory was based on observations from several groups of seismometers deployed to locate the hum's source. The rumble appeared to be linked to large ocean storms along certain coastlines, but the Californian team could not explain how waves created it. The following year, in 2005, Goran Ekstrom at Columbia University in the US, showed that the hum's amplitude correlated with wave energy averaged along coastlines around the world. Now Ekstrom's Columbia colleague, Spahr Webb, says he can show how waves drive the hum. Webb has applied old work on ocean waves to predict what sort of background noise would be made by waves moving over the shallow ocean floor. He found his prediction closely matched the spectrum of the Earth's hum. He says the hum is caused by the combination of two waves of the same frequency travelling in opposite directions. The waves alternately cancel out and amplify each other so that the sea surface goes from wavy to flat to wavy. This creates a standing wave that "goes thump, thump, thump on the ocean floor at twice the frequency of the waves you started off with, driving the hum", says Webb. The waves that run along shallow continental shelves are much larger than those over the deep ocean, and so the force applied by the standing waves is also larger in shallow water. This, says Webb, correlates nicely with Romanowicz's observation that, of all the areas she looked at in the Pacific, the Earth's hum matched up best with waves near the Vancouver coastline, off Canada, where the shelf is shallow and the ocean waves can be enormous. Webb also says his findings dash claims that Mars might have a similar hum to Earth, as the Red Planet has no oceans. However, he adds that it could have a different kind of hum generated by large "Marsquakes". Journal reference: Nature (vol 445, p 754) |

Drunk Aussie wrestles shark
A fisherman fuelled by vodka caught a 1.3-metre (4-foot) shark and wrestled it onto a jetty on Australia's south coast, suffering only small tear marks in his trousers, media reports said on Friday. Phillip Kerkhof, 41, caught the bronze whaler shark by hand on Monday after he spotted it chasing squid lures near the jetty at the tiny seaside town of Louth Bay in the South Australia state. "I just snuck up behind him and eventually I went for the big grab and I fluked it and got him," Kerkhof told Australian Broadcasting Corp. The area near Louth Bay, around the southern tip of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, is well known for sharks, and live shark action for the 1975 movie Jaws was filmed nearby. Kerkhof, who said he had "a fair few vodkas" before he went fishing, said he only realised the danger of his actions the following day. "It's not something I'd recommend to do," he said. "When I sobered up I thought about it and I said, 'I'm a bit of an idiot doing it'." |
^i saw that, not in real life.

you're just below dallas town
where the sky burns bright white i watched the sun go down and the moon lights you up like a spotlight |
I am really, really fucking tired. Deeply, profoundly tired and I think I'm going to try and lay in bed for a bit with headphones on, listening to music, and try not to fall asleep and wake up at about 4am but I know that I definitely, definitely will.

The physical form of the ritual associated with Ghost Dance did not originate with Jack Wilson, nor did it die with him. Referred to as the "round dance," it characteristically includes a circular community dance held around an individual who leads the ceremony. Often accompanying the ritual are intermissions of trance, exhortations, and prophesying.
