Dearest Pulseologists,


Ewe know who ewe are.....with the insatiable desire to keep taking pulses !!




As a sheepy I of course know all about pulses, I am an expert having had a pulse all my life.


One thing I was recently made aware of is that the Earth has a 26 second pulse !!!...what's that all about ?


Please deliver me an answer as I am about to become a first aid sheep and I need to know how to resuscitate the Earth should it it's pulse weaken or even stop !!




so, What Is The 26 Second Pulse Of The Earth ?




thanking ewe for your pulse related answers




hugs and shmishes






mwah mwah mwah

What is the rhythm of Earth's fleeting beat
A pulse of twenty-six seconds so fleet?

One thing I was recently made aware of is that the Earth has a 26 second pulse !!!...what's that all about ?

First of all, it seems to originate from a specific spot (somewhere near the Gulf of Guinea), so it's a particular thing that has the pulse, not the whole Earth. Nobody seems to know what it is, but I can take a couple of guesses.

1) It is sort of like regular passage of gas through your guts when you've eaten too much enriched grass all at once. It bubbles at a steady pace. So perhaps this is magma/lava moving from here to there at a steady pace and blooping through a tight spot every 26 seconds. The location is near a know volcanic zone, so that kind of internal movement is plausible.

2) Maybe it's a regular earthquake where two plates scrape nearly effortlessly past each other without getting stuck like most of them do. The result would be like nails on a chalk board except much lower pitch.

For either of those guesses, it seems pretty remarkable that the noise would persist for over half a century, but it has.
