Scientists have discovered that the Earth trembles every 26 seconds. Some say it’s a harmonic, others say it’s a regular tremor caused by the sun’s energy, and others say it’s a mystery signal that guides people to treasure, but it has remained an unsolved mystery for more than 60 years.
According to Discover magazine, the pulsing signal was first recorded by geologist Jack Oliver back in the 1960s. He was working at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory when he discovered the signal, and there was none of the advanced seismic instrumentation available today. He analyzed the signal as recorded on paper.
Since then, scientists have been listening to the pulsation and have finally found its source. First it was located in the Gulf of Guinea on the west coast of Africa, and later studies continued to narrow it down to a place called the Bight of Bonny in the Gulf of Guinea.
Some scientists believe that the pulsations are regular harmonics caused by waves traveling through the ocean and hitting a specific spot on the continental shelf of the Gulf of Guinea, like a drum beat. Others believe it is a slight vibration caused by the activity of a volcano. But these phenomena are common worldwide and cannot explain why only the signal from this place causes this effect. So the cause of this pulsation has not found a definite explanation so far.
