Listen to the eerie sounds of a solar storm
hitting the Earth’s magnetic field
When I consider Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars,
which You have ordained;
4 What is man
that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
Psalm 8:3-4
Despite being essential to life on Earth,
the magnetic field isn’t something we can actually see in itself, or ever hear.
But, remarkably, scientists at the Technical University of Denmark
have taken magnetic signals measured by ESA’s Swarm satellite mission
and converted them into sound –
and for something that protects us, the result is pretty scary.

This reminds me of my favorite
Christian Astrophysicist
Dr. Jason Lisle.
( I think this is one of the many things they are into?)
He is one of the few
( there are only several hundred Astrophysicists in the US.)
Christian Astrophysicists, and he is brilliant!!
( I think you have to be in order,
to get a degree in astrophysics)
but he is also
funny,
humble
and seemingly has a brain that can delve into the deepest things
of everything
"Dr. Jason Lisle is a Christian astrophysicist
who researches issues pertaining to science and the Christian Faith.
Dr. Lisle double-majored
in physics
and astronomy
with a minor in mathematics
at Ohio Wesleyan University.
He then went on to obtain
a Master’s degree
and Ph.D. in astrophysics at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
There, he used the SOHO spacecraft to analyze the surface of the sun,
and made a number of interesting discoveries,
including the detection of giant cell boundaries".
He brought quantum particles, quantum mechanics, etc.
down to the 'bottom shelf' so to speak
on his web site
biblicalscienceinstitute.com/
and
in this video he also brings this subject
(quantum physics)
down to us 'normal' folks level
he has many such videos on all sorts of things 'science'
(and very real science)
but
always giving glory to God the Creator)
he is also a 'young earth creationist'
but this man is a true genius...
so even atheists know,
he is a 'smart guy' :)
So he is kind of a mystery to them
How can he be so brilliant...
and yet...
a Christian
but not only a Christian...
a young earth Creationist?
God made him that way
and Jason's first love and priority is God!
But this is a guy at age 6 (maybe younger, or a tad older?)
while riding in a car
with his family
some place ( maybe Kansas....a place absolutely flat)
and so....
he decided to work out the calculations to determine if the 'flat earth" folks theory
could hold any water ( so to speak).
I am not sure I could even follow his 6 year old brain
but it was 'something' kind of...sort of... like:
he took the speed of the car he was in
the car ahead of them
the earth's circumference
( I may not ( almost cerainly not) have the whole mathematical calculations he used)
But something about when the car in front disappeared from view
( on a completely flat road...nary a tiny hill anywhere)
he was able to discern ( mathematically) the earth was not flat....
There is a video of him explaining this
but I have watched so many...I forgot which one it was.
As an artist
who can barely 'add'
I cannot even imagine a 6 year old doing these kinds of calculations!
In fact, he said in one interview, he does calculations for.....
Wait for it....
For FUN!
What???
who is this guy LOLOL
I always thought math was a 'punishment'
not ever
ever
ever....something you would do for fun.
And he is not talking about some simple math equations
like he did as a 6 year old
oh no.....
but he not only does that
He knows scripture in its original language...
and how it is used in a sentence... which gives it a specific meaning
and even the way the letters are ...
which narrows the meaning
And yet...
he claims he is not an expert...
well I suppose as a (Christian) astrophysicist
He has a very high standard for what a definition of an 'expert' is
But I have heard pastors who do not have the grasp he does on scripture
and he has vast amounts of scripture memorized
and as I mentioned is a young earth creationist....which I find super cool!
I am sure he could explain these sounds
one can actually on his web site
which has a ton of his writting for free
but also you can pay a small fee and join in discussions
and ask him questions
he also has written quite a few books
( I have most of them).
and he does interviews
and gives lectures at churches etc.
