- Abstract
Acoustic monitoring of the sun shows that it pulses with a 5-minute interval; the surface movement is measured using the Doppler-effect. A gravity pulsation was identified by Jerrold Thacker from the Potsdam, Germany superconducting gravimeter in 1992, where local gravity spiked at a 40-minute interval for five months, assumed to be in resonance with the solar rate, and amplified because Earth is a resonance cavity with a 40-minute round trip travel time for sound. We now observe that the pulsation causes a phase lock with the earth's rotation rate such that, when the solar pulsation is active, Earth's rotational slowing from the tidal pull of the moon ceases and the rotation rate stabilizes at a constant value. This has been seen twice for an extended period over the last 2500 years. It has resulted in the slowing being about 25% less than what is predicted from tidal theory. The pulsation is a function of how active is the sun. The sun became active in 1710 at the end of the Maunder Minimum and just recently has become less active in the early 1990s and this inactivity was measured in several different parameters. The sunspot number dropped, Earth's temperature stopped increasing and the 40-minute Earth pulsation stopped. The start of the active Sun period in the year 1710 appeared after almost 70 years with very few sunspots. At this time, the sunspots increased, the rotation rate stabilized at a constant 24.00 hours and Earth's temperature began increasing after 1000 years of cooling. As this was before the advent of higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere, the assumed greenhouse effect relation to temperature is not required to explain the temperature movement. A similar series of events was observed during the medieval hot period from 200 to 800 AD, implying that there are four data points worthy of observation (two at the start of the pulsation in 200 and 1710 AD and two at the end of the pulsation in 800 and 1992 AD). As we have records of the length of Earth's day over the last 2500 years from eclipse records, this provides another measure that correlates with sunspots, Earth's temperature and (now) pulsations of the sun. As there is now a plausible explanation for the 40-minute pulse's disappearance after 1992, its behavior is worth studying in a fair bit of detail, as the large amount of gravity data taken over five months at a rate of one measurement per minute provides good resolution to help answer several interesting questions. When active, pulsations on the sun appear to set up a standing wave type gravity pulsation every 40 minutes within the earth. It is detected fairly easily by the super-conducting gravimeter at a magnitude of 0.8 nm/sec² and stands out clearly if one sums several hours of data to eliminate the random noise. The pulse waxes and wanes, in a consistent manner, throughout the day. The only explanation I could come up with for the evolution of the 40-minute pulsation as it travels throughout the day (and ultimately is blocked at midnight) is that the travelling gravimeter penetrates a stationary standing wave that runs through the earth. It is like a large drum hit that reverberates primarily between the 6 PM side of the earth and the 6 AM side, with a 20-minute one-way travel time, as sound. The main wave maximizes at the 6 PM side at the 40-minute point and the reverberation maximizes on the 6 AM side at the 20-minute point, about 180 degrees opposite. This is a clear signal of a standing wave. The 20-minute reflection amplitude maximizes at about 0.6 nm/sec2 and the 40-minute maximum amplitude is about 0.8 nm/sec2, illustrating how the return is greater than zero and is thus additive to the next wave peak to allow the standing wave to build. The entire Earth pulses on the surface at approximately the same time every 40 minutes. It's a whole body pulse.
