Abstract Summary - Natural ELF Fields in the Atmosphere and Living Organisms

Overview

Extremely low frequency (ELF) fields are predominant in both vertebrates and invertebrates, typically observed below 50 Hz. The specific origins and implications of these frequencies are yet to be fully understood.

Findings

• The study investigates the hypothesis that natural electromagnetic resonant frequencies, induced by global lightning activities, have influenced the evolution of cellular electrical activities in living organisms over billions of years.
• It is highlighted that the electrical spectrum in some animals closely resembles the natural atmospheric electric field resulting from lightning, complicating the differentiation between natural and biological ELF fields.

Conclusion

Evidence is presented to support a significant linkage between natural ELF fields generated by atmospheric conditions and the ELF fields observed in many living organisms, including humans. This insight invites further scrutiny into how natural electromagnetic phenomena could have shaped biological evolution.
