09 Jan 2022. More About The Spectrogram; Essentially, it's a glorified printer.(Facebook group post)


Thank you for being here

This is the standard scientific, accepted engineering technical-side exploration and examination of Schumann Resonances, as a sub-set of atmospheric electromagnetics. This is a graduate-level course in Schumann Resonances, using my 45+ yrs experience in related, real-world experiences.

There is nothing inherently "ascension-based" about Schumann resonanceS. These are not the "heartbeat of the planet". These are much closer to the breathing of the planet, in function and in analogy.

Continually I state, quite affirmatively, that despite what the atmospherics are doing, a person needs to lead a good, pure, clean life, which is well-grounded, not given to accumulating extraneous charge in the sense of a capacitor holds onto an accumulated charge, for eventual discharge. Schumann resonanceS are subtle, but a person can act as a magnet for all sorts of frequencies and voltages.

Schumann resonanceS are a series of radio waves. These atmospheric harmonics are a group of resonance harmonics oscillating in place, around the planet, at varying intensity levels. These are statistically-stable; maintaining a stable set of frequencies--but the lowest of the low. from 7.8-52Hz (at max); that's it. These are in the pico- range, which is 12 decimal places below zero.

The Schumann resonanceS are not rising. These radio waves are stable, intact, and are not going anywhere any time soon.

However, there are multiple circuits involved in the Earth's geo-electric power grid. There's thge upper "DC circuit", which is the interplanetary magnetic link, which operates in the nano-scale, 1,000 stronger than the Schumann resonanceS properly.

The upper "DC circuit" is the magnetosphere, and ionosphere combination; which holds an tremendous voltage (250KV), that might be forced-down to the lower atmospheric layers, due to heavy output from the sun.

If our internal magnetic planetary grid, the "lower DC circuit" weakens, and shifts, the ionosphere would weaken as well, and more solar particles are allowed to filter through.

Understanding the place of the Schumann resonanceS, knowing this is the "AC circuit", where our signals of concern vibrate in place. The Schumann resonanceS vibrate in a "waveguide", which is the cavity between the two DC circuits.

Both the DC circuits operate in the Nano-range.

This is 1,000 times more powerful than the Schumann resonanceS. Much of the issues that people are experiencing with all these "symptoms", whereas atmospherics is concerned, is largely experienced by people as a result of a lack of grounding, and proper release of the accumulated chargfes that people hold onto, through out the day. The body acts as a capacitor, and retains a charge.

One person may feel elated, and a sense of well-being. Another may be a hot mess, with thoughts all over the place, and a variety of "symptoms" which the person is not doing anything to correct, or mitigate.

The Ascension-side of the Schumann resonanceS discussion tells folks these are "ascension symptoms". There are all sorts of narratives strung-together for people, to assist them in ignoring the root of the/their problem.

Ok, so what is the problem ?

It is a common misconception of seeing the spectrogram at as antennae. It is a commonly held practice with people who are not technical people to interperate the renderings on the spectrogram from a philosophical, or metaphysical aspect.

Due to a lack of understanding of how a spectrogram works, and what its job is, the majority of opinions of how to interperate the results of the machinery is fantastic, and absolutely rubbish. There is an inherent, built-in bias coming into the discussion of what is the purpose of the spectrogram. The "other guys" got there first, labelled the data "The Schumann," and that's where progress on the topic stops cold.

My primary motivation for doing this is to explain in everyday language, the technical details of that which is extremely technical. There's a bit of a learning curve to this.

To declare a belief: it's my personal belief that most people can come to understand the most basic elements of Schumann resonanceS, IF one comes into this with an open mind. I am also of the understanding that everyone can lead a good, happy life, despite what the Schumann resonanceS are doing.

Unfortunately, many are not actually coming into this with an open mind. A presumption that one's spiritual growth, or "ascension" depends on understanding "The Schumann" is such a detriment to an open mind.

Why is the phrase, why is using the phrase, "The Schumann" the main problem?

Mainly, because of the human tendency to cut corners, and dismiss details which are inconvenient to whatever agenda is being pushing.

Words matter; they shape the thoughts of the human. There is a layer of verbal rhetoric, which must be addressed, in order for the human to grow. So, the first concern is to not cut-corners, and hold one approximation, abbreviation, acronymn, false understanding, in place of a clear mental picture of what we are talking about.

Rhetoric is weaving of language where the 'mental picture' invoked is formed by definition, and not from practical experiences. When we use phrases often enough, we believe that we know the phrase; this is rhetoric.

Rhetoric can literally be 'anything.' Much of human language and the thinking behind it is of the rhetorical variety. The mind-set behind the thinking that the spectrogram can 'be anything' that you want it to be, is a rhetorical statement; not grounded in actual reality. This is the difference between what someone knows, and what he THINKS he knows.

Rhetoric can be seen as someone trying to "show" you how to swim, from the shoreline, reading instruction from a book.

Belief is what we THINK we know. There is not, of necessity science, nor technical matters to address in a belief itself.

Imagination is the power behind a belief. Yet, there can be science in a belief, and there can be, and usually is a belief in Science.

We know that science is a means, or method at arriving at a systematic, repeatable explanation of real-world events.

Science is a process, not a thing produced.

Technology is the means to measure, track, or reproduce science [again, a process]; in other words, it is the thing itself, and not the process exclusively.

A person, given to the pursuit of a Higher Power, or to the intelligence behind the powers and principles operating in this world, can still operate with an exacting, methodical, scientific nature, to uncover these secrets.

Essentially, this is the goal of secular science, to wrest free the secrets of the natural world, through repeatable experimentation.

Technology is used to detect, track, meter, measure, record, share the results of scientific tests, experiments. Technology is used for running experiments. It's important to know how to read the technical reports of the meters recording the results.

In my own personal observations, it's clear that there's more technology in science, then there is the scientific method itself. A large percentage of science is given to the building of models, which is a technology of abstract edu-quations and idealized behaviour in a laboratory [which has been sanitized of an intuitive, super-sensible side.]

We can look at the Schumann resonances themself as an on-going process, continuously unfolding before us.

The common belief is that the Schumann resonances is the "heartbeat of the planet"; along with "the Schumann" expressing this as a fact. This allegory is not a fact, not either as evidenced through the spectrogram, nor as an actual expression of the process of the "AC circuit" of the waveguide, between the two DC circuits.

Schumann resonanceS are otherwise invisible, and generally indistinguishable (because these are so subtle), so a visual aid is necessary to show them.

Yet, the visual aid of the spectrogram is not showing a person that The Resonances are the "heartbeat" of the planet; nor is it showing a rising resonance.

The spectrogram is showing you a series of harmonics, which start at ~7.8Hz, and "bunch together" in 6.6Hz increments. These harmonics are a consistent, stable "hum", or oscillaton within the atmosphere, between the ionosphere and Earth's surface.

When using the phrase "The Schumann", to express the process of Schumann resonanceS, there is a huge void missing from the understanding behind "The Schumann."

In other words, "The Schumann" is a rhetorical expression, or verbal gesture, without any real-world experiential knowledge, or wisdom, behind it. The expression "The Schumann" is devoid actual meaning; used as a rhetorical tool to misguide folks about the purpose of the spectrogram, along with how it properly functions.

The danger behind the phrase "The Schumann" comes down to a term hanging in mid-air, disconnected from the actual science that it is alleged to be monitoring.

It's like the remainder of the pseudo-science buzzwords that get bandied about within the 'Ascension community', which are meaningless, outside of the social conditioning taking place.

In my experience, there's a further damage to using "The Schumann", with its inherent free-floating nature. It allows for all manner of ungrounded and fantastic narratives to become introduced, as science, or as actual fact.

To me, the seeming biggest problem with the rhetorical angle is the introduction of rogue elements such as "The galactic alliance", or some other star-being cooperative which is allegedly coming to rescue humanity; once the storm gates are opened.

Once the discussion strays away from the actual data pathway from antenna to reports, then this unfortunately opens-up the discussion to all manner of fantastic claims, not even remotely supportable through practical, real-world science or hands-on experimentation.

The problem is not that there might not be a star-being alliance, as such; simply what they are allowed to do for humans, in place of what they will not do for themselves.

Simply, the non-human races who are "assisting" at this time are not doing anything FOR humans. It's up to you to do, or not do, the work necessary to "save humanity"; starting with yourself first. If it's not worth it for you to do the work...they are not going to be bothered doing it for you.

NOTHING with humanity is automatic, especially not spiritual growth. This requires constant work, and moment-to-moment decisions towards the goal. And no, there's never a "done point" for humans.

No one is being jumped-up ahead of what s/he has worked for, and towards. If you're one of those who have worked dilligently for a free ride, who's skated-by in the truly difficult work of humanity; if you aren't making any efforts to struggle for what is most important, for that which retains the humanity of the inhabitants of the planet...then this is what the one has earned: little of worth.

The single, biggest issue in using the phrase "The Schumann" is a free-ride ethic that seems to come with the verbiage.

It's insulting on some level to have the data misinterperated from a philosophical, or metaphysical perspective; as these views usually question the actual science behind the machinery and technology. It is, at its core, a house divided: using science and technology they spurn, to prove a Disneyland narrative--which is impossible to dis/prove otherwise.

The subject of this essay is: "more about the spectrogram; essentially, it's a glorified printer."

First, let's have an overview of how the technology actually is used. Here are definitions from a wide range of disciplines, which depend upon spectrograms for qualitative analysis of monitoring data.

" What is a spectrogram?

" A spectrogram is a visual way of representing the signal strength, or 'loudness', of a signal over time at various frequencies present in a particular waveform. Not only can one see whether there is more or less energy at, for example, 2 Hz vs 10 Hz, but one can also see how energy levels vary over time.

"In other sciences spectrograms are commonly used to display frequencies of sound waves produced by humans, machinery, animals, whales, jets, etc., as recorded by microphones.

" How do you read a spectrogram?

" Spectrograms are basically two-dimensional graphs, with a third dimension represented by colors. Time runs from left (oldest) to right (youngest) along the horizontal axis.

"The vertical axis represents frequency, which can also be thought of as pitch or tone, with the lowest frequencies at the bottom and the highest frequencies at the top. The amplitude (or energy or “loudness”) of a particular frequency at a particular time is represented by the third dimension, color, with dark blues corresponding to low amplitudes and brighter colors...corresponding to progressively stronger (or louder) amplitudes. "

( https://pnsn.org/spectrograms/what-is-a-spectrogram ).


This description above is adopted from one explaining seismic spectrograms. It is easily-adopted to explanation of SR data.

" Format

" A common format is a graph with two geometric dimensions: one axis represents time, and the other axis represents frequency; a third dimension indicating the amplitude of a particular frequency at a particular time is represented by the intensity or color of each point in the image.

" There are many variations of format: sometimes the vertical and horizontal axes are switched, so time runs up and down; sometimes as a waterfall plot where the amplitude is represented by height of a 3D surface instead of color or intensity. The frequency and amplitude axes can be either linear or logarithmic, depending on what the graph is being used for. Audio would usually be represented with a logarithmic amplitude axis (probably in decibels, or dB), and frequency would be linear to emphasize harmonic relationships, or logarithmic to emphasize musical, tonal relationships."

( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrogram ).

Spectrograms are used for numerous applications... including displaying electromagnetic radiation, which are the radio waves of the Schumann resonances.

Yet, spectrograms only display data that is fed into them.

" What is a Spectrogram?

" A spectrogram is a graph that shows the evolution of the spectrum (the frequency contents) of a signal over time. Often, the frequency is on the vertical axis and time is on the horizontal axis.

"A spectrogram is computed by “chopping up” the signal into chunks and computing a spectrum for each of those. These different spectra are then put next to each other (as vertical lines) to form a 2D image."

( https://tomroelandts.com/articles/what-is-a-spectrogram ).


" What is a Spectrogram?

" A spectrogram displays the strength of a signal over time at a waveform’s various frequencies. Spectrograms can be two-dimensional graphs with a third variable represented by colors or three-dimensional graphs with a fourth color variable.

" In ObserVIEW, the tachometer- and time-based spectrogram graph can be viewed in two or three dimensions. The color scale is red-green-blue, where blue corresponds to low amplitudes, or 'loudness,' and red corresponds to high amplitudes.

" For vibration testing, spectrograms can be used to analyze the frequency content of a waveform to distinguish different types of vibration. With the data, users can locate strong signals and determine how frequencies change over time.

" Generating A Spectrogram

" To generate a spectrogram, a time-domain signal is divided into shorter segments of equal length. Then, the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is applied to each segment. The spectrogram is a plot of the spectrum on each segment. The Frame Count parameter determines the number of FFTs used to create the spectrogram and, as a result, the amount of the overall time signal that is split into independent FFTs. [...]

" How Spectrograms Differ from other Signal Processing Analyses

" A time-domain analysis can point out a defect in a DUT but does not specify the location or nature of the defect. As a collection of time-frequency analyses, the spectrogram can be used to identify characteristics of nonstationary or nonlinear signals. For this reason, a spectrogram is a helpful tool for analyzing real-world data where there are various frequency components and/or mechanical and electrical noise.

" A spectrogram is most helpful for vibration analysis in a changing environment. It illustrates the patterns of energy change which may not be visible in an FFT or PSD. In comparison to an FFT, a spectrogram gives a better look into how the vibration changes over time.

"In a spectrogram, there are many indicators of damage and they can be complex. Still, atypical bands can indicate very useful information regarding potential damage." ( https://vibrationresearch.com/blog/what-is-a-spectrogram/ ).


" What is a spectrogram?

" A spectrogram is a visualization tool extending the one-dimensional representation of a spectrum (usually vibration or noise magnitude as a function of frequency) to a second dimension which can be time or speed. In abscissa (x-axis), the frequency of the acoustic noise or vibration of the electrical machine is represented, while time or speed is represented in coordinate axis (y-axis). The colour (z-axis) represents the magnitude of the acoustic noise or vibration harmonic.

" Using the rotating speed in y-axis makes all excitations proportional to speed appear as straight lines crossing the origin of the graph. When using time as y-axis, vibration and noise lines might not be straight lines if the speed is not increasing linearly.

" Electromagnetic forces, electromagnetic vibrations and electromagnetically-excited noise harmonics are all proportional to speed in electrical machines, except when coming from asynchronous switching harmonics due to Pulse-Width Modulation. In synchronous machines they are more specifically all proportional to twice the fundamental electrical frequency.

" Application to e-NVH

" Each "slice" (cut along x-axis) of the spectrogram gives a specific noise or vibration spectrum at a given time / speed. In spectrograms, the structural mode natural frequencies appear as amplifications independent of speed (except for high speed rotor modes), so as vertical lines. When an excitation line crosses the vertical line of a natural frequency, there is a potential resonance issue. As shown in the article on electromagnetically-excited vibrations, resonance occurs at two conditions in rotating electric machines: a "time frequency" match (visible in a spectrogram) and a "spatial frequency" match (not visible in a standard spectrogram, but in spatiograms).

" Spectrogram is also called in some other references sonogram or sonagram (when applied to acoustic noise), contour plot or waterfall plot. Campbell plot refers to a more simple graphs where excitations and natural frequencies are represented without any magnitude information, and potential resonances are simply identified as intersections between excitations and structural modes - a condition that is necessary but not sufficient to have an electromagnetically-excited resonance."

( https://eomys.com/e-nvh/technical-notes-on-electromagnetically-excited-noise-and-vibrations/article/what-is-a-spectrogram ).


" Narrowband versus Broadband Spectrograms

" Narrowband spectrograms are created with fine, high-resolution frequency analysis. At typical speaking fundamental frequencies (~80-300 Hz or so) the analysis is fine-grained enough to resolve individual harmonics of the voice source.

" Broadband spectrograms are created with a more coarse frequency analysis. The idea is to smear over a large enough band of frequencies to display the collection of frequency components that comprise the broad spectrum envelope peaks that correspond to vocal tract formants.

" The most common and straightforward analysis method that is used to calculate broadband spectrograms computes the spectrum over a short segment of the time signal.

" Because of this short time segment (called a “window”), the analysis is able to capture rapid changes in amplitude. For this reason, during voiced speech segments, the broadband spectrogram shows vertical lines corresponding to the rapid increase in amplitude that occurs when the vocal folds slap together. "

This has been the scenic route in exploring spectrograms, as a subject related to Schumann resonanceS. There are multiple visual aids to go with the text; please follow the links to see the full text as presented by the pages listed.

There's more information here that is not specific to Schumann resonanceS; yet, it's important for people to understand the place of the tools used to detect and record Schumann resonances.

There are many people here in this group, as well as the larger picture of learning about the Schumann resonanceS, who have never been introduced otherwise to a spectrogram.

As such, due to a lack of real-world understanding of the technology, a human is prone to imagine what it COULD be, or MIGHT do. Without real-world constraints to nail down the readings, the data presented is foreign; inherently open to interpretation, in the vein of abstract art.

Without a practical, hands-on experience with a spectrogram and spectrographic technology, literally, the imagination is unlimited in what it can, will conjur in attempting to explain the reports of the spectrogram.
