Earth’s Magnetic Field Reversal: An Eerie Soundscape from Laschamps
Introduction: science meets sound In a striking fusion of geophysics and art, scientists have translated Earth’s ancient magnetic field collapse into an evocative soundscape. The project recreates the 41,000-year-old geomagnetic excursion that briefly flipped Earth’s field, offering a rare, auditory window into a past planet-wide upheaval. By weaving data from the European Space Agency (ESA)…
