Evidence level T: Traditional/spiritual practice- What do we know?
- Schumann resonances are electromagnetic waves excited by lightning in the cavity between the Earth's surface and the ionosphere; the fundamental peak is about 8 Hz (commonly quoted as 7.83 Hz). It is not sound and cannot be heard.
- What don't we know?
- There is no evidence that listening to a 7.83 Hz beat interacts with this electromagnetic phenomenon.
A session's level is the weakest of its linked claims; it is never raised by a strong but unrelated claim.
