Sun Rings Like a Bell—And You Do Too

Feel like dancing with the sun? An article in the May 4^th, 2007 issue of Science magazine suggests new evidence that the sun rings and vibrates in such a way that it affects winds on the Earth, cell phones, and other features of our lives. These oscillations are carried to Earth on the solar wind that transverses the solar system. This idea, that large-scale, galactic phenomena can noticeably effect us here on Earth is the basis of Planetary Intelligence: that our lives and actions are intrinsically interwoven with the fabric of the universe and nothing about our everyday existence is independent of this interconnectedness. The complex, global and interstellar phenomena that surround us are part of the identity and sense of who we are: Even something as seemingly inconsequential as a breeze can be part and parcel of a larger set of universal relationships.
