Microbes in Space Mutated And Developed a Remarkable Ability
A box full of viruses and bacteria has completed its return trip to the International Space Station, and the changes these 'bugs' experienced in their travels could help us Earthlings tackle drug-resistant infections.
A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and US biotech company Rhodium Scientific Inc. pitted Escherichia coli bacteria against its viral arch-nemesis, the T7 bacteriophage. This pair has been locked in an evolutionary 'arms race' for as long as we've been looking, but never in microgravity – until they were sent to the ISS in 2020.
Scientists aboard the space station incubated different combinations of bacteria and phages for 25 days, while the research team led by biochemist Vatsan Raman carried out the same experiments in Madison, down here on Earth.
"Space fundamentally changes how phages and bacteria interact: infection is slowed, and both organisms evolve along a different trajectory than they do on Earth," the researchers explain.
In the weightlessness of space, bacteria acquired mutations in genes involved in the microbe's stress response and nutrient management. Their surface proteins also changed. After a slow start, the phages mutated in response, so they could continue binding to their victims.
Audition now for ScienceAlert's Casting Call
The team found that certain space-specific phage mutations were especially effective at killing Earth-bound bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections (UTIs). More than 90 percent of the bacteria responsible for UTIs are antibiotic-resistant, making phage treatments a promising alternative.
"By studying those space-driven adaptations, we identified new biological insights that allowed us to engineer phages with far superior activity against drug-resistant pathogens back on Earth," the researchers say.
The research was published in PLOS Biology.

Telluric currents
Telluric currents are natural, low-frequency electric currents flowing through the Earth's crust and oceans, primarily induced by geomagnetic field variations from solar activity. These currents are studied using telluric and magnetotelluric techniques to map subterranean electrical conductivity, enabling geological exploration for faults, basement depth, and mineral resources
GEOMETRY AND THE EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD VORTEX
The Sacred Cartography of Resonant Power Nodes
Page 1: The Earth’s Magnetic Field — A Living Toroidal Heartbeat
At the heart of Earth’s being pulses an electromagnetic breath—an invisible torus, continuously generated by the molten iron-nickel dynamo at its core. This toroidal field is more than just a planetary shield; it is a harmonic conductor of life, consciousness, and resonance.
Much like the human heart’s own electromagnetic field, Earth’s torus spirals inward at the South Pole and outward at the North, resembling the fields of atoms, auras, DNA helices, and galactic arms. This architecture recapitulates the sacred geometries of nature—the phi spiral, the vesica piscis, the torus—each a harmonic blueprint of flow and form.
The magnetosphere not only deflects solar radiation, but also stores frequencies, echoes intentions, and creates a vibrational envelope where life can evolve. Within this magnetic matrix, cymatic-like patterns emerge: wave interference shaping weather, ocean currents, auroras, and even migratory routes. Earth’s magnetic field acts like a drumskin, with geometry as the unseen percussionist.
Key Insight: Earth’s toroidal field is not just physics—it is a carrier of information, a memory field, and a co-creative interface between planetary consciousness and cosmic intelligence.

Page 2: Platonic Grids and Vortex Placement — Mapping the Resonant Lattice
Earth’s power vortexes are not arbitrarily scattered—they follow a coherent pattern consistent with Platonic solids projected onto the geoid. The most widely referenced model, the Dodeca-Icosa Grid theorized by Becker and Hagens, overlays a composite of the dodecahedron and icosahedron, yielding 62 nodal points across the Earth’s surface.
These nodal points correlate with:
• Ancient sacred sites (Giza, Machu Picchu, Angkor Wat, Easter Island).
• Electromagnetic anomalies (Bermuda Triangle, Devil’s Sea).
• Cultural energy centers (Delphi, Sedona, Mt. Shasta).
The grid lines that connect these nodes align with great circle routes and ley lines—energetic arteries along Earth’s body. Many of these alignments also mirror avian migratory paths, tectonic plates, and submarine ridges, suggesting a geobiological resonance network embedded into the living Earth.
These geometric alignments are not only spatial—they are harmonic, following the principles of musical intervals and frequency coherence. Just as a crystal grows along symmetrical axes, so too does Earth’s energetic grid express the logos of proportion and number.

Page 3: The 19.47° Latitude — A Tetrahedral Revelation
One of the most intriguing aspects of planetary geometry is the 19.47° phenomenon. When a tetrahedron is inscribed inside a rotating sphere, the points of intersection between the tetrahedron and the sphere’s surface occur at approximately 19.47° latitude above and below the equator. This is not theoretical—it’s astrophysically evident.
On Earth, this latitude marks:
• Hawaii’s Mauna Kea (a sacred volcanic energy site).
• Teotihuacan (aligned with cosmic architecture).
• The Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico.
On other celestial bodies:
• Mars: Olympus Mons, the solar system’s tallest volcano.
• Jupiter: The Great Red Spot.
• Saturn: Atmospheric vortex activity.
• The Sun: Sunspot regions often peak at this latitude.
This recurring 19.47° energy emergence suggests that rotating spheres (from planets to stars) manifest energetic torsion fields governed by tetrahedral symmetry. These are the nodal points where magnetic, geometric, and hyperdimensional forces emerge into the 3D realm.
Implication: Earth’s vortexes are where higher-dimensional geometries bleed into spacetime—portals of torsion, magnetism, and transformation.

Page 4: Magneto-Geometrical Vortex Formation — Cymatics in the Planetary Body
Just as intersecting waveforms in a cymatic plate create nodes of stillness and intensity, Earth’s vortexes arise at intersections of geomagnetic lines, ley lines, and underground aquifers. These convergence points—where telluric currents, solar plasma, and gravitational resonance collide—become natural amplifiers.
They function as:
• Standing wave nodes for Earth’s Schumann Resonance (7.83 Hz and harmonics).
• Chakra points of planetary consciousness.
• Quantum gateways for psi phenomena, healing, and altered states.
These zones exhibit measurable effects:
• Lower geomagnetic variance (or spikes).
• Altered ion concentrations.
• Increased piezoelectric charge in quartz-heavy areas.
• Anomalous weather and biophoton emissions.
Earth, like the human body, appears to conduct energy through a grid of meridian-like channels. Ancient temples were sited at these vortex points not for aesthetic but for energetic reasons—to interface with the grid, enhance consciousness, and anchor celestial geometries into matter.

Page 5: Sacred Geometry as the Breath of Earth’s Magnetism
Each vortex is encoded with sacred geometries—fractals, spirals, and polygons resonant with light, sound, and magnetism. Studies of megalithic sites such as Stonehenge, Nabta Playa, and the Nasca Lines reveal underlying patterns of:
• Flower of Life lattices.
• Phi spirals and Fibonacci curves.
• Hexagonal and pentagonal symmetry.
Even in planetary-scale weather and field dynamics, geometry expresses itself:
• Saturn’s Hexagon is a perfect six-sided polar storm.
• Earth’s auroral ovals echo toroidal movement.
• Spiral hurricanes and volcanic island chains follow the golden spiral.
These patterns are not merely beautiful—they are functional. They reflect energy optimization, information storage, and coherence across scales. Earth, like all living systems, organizes its energy into nested geometries—the signature of intelligence expressed through form.
Key Point: Sacred geometry is not symbolic; it is causal. It governs the flow of energy, the structuring of matter, and the evolution of consciousness.

Page 6: Implications — The Grid as a Living Consciousness Matrix
To walk upon Earth is to step within a planetary brain, a body of memory and intention. The magnetic field and vortex network form a biospheric consciousness—a living intelligence that reflects and responds to human awareness.
These sites act as:
• Acupuncture points in Earth’s energetic meridian system.
• Quantum mirrors for collective emotion and thought.
• Activation nodes that awaken as solar and galactic energies increase.
With rising solar activity, spikes in Schumann Resonance, and geomagnetic shifts, these vortexes serve as crucibles of initiation. They reconfigure the biofield, recalibrate DNA, and offer direct experiences of non-local consciousness.
Standing at one of these points is more than physical—it’s ceremonial. It’s an alignment of one’s torus field with the torus of Earth, producing a harmonic resonance that echoes into higher dimensions. In such places, prayer becomes physics, and geometry becomes revelation.
Conclusion: The Sacred Map of a Breathing Planet
The geometrical disposition of Earth’s vortexes is a planetary mandala, alive and breathing, spiraling through epochs. It is an architecture of awakening—a multidimensional circuit woven by the laws of vibration, consciousness, and sacred design.
To trace this grid is to trace the songlines of creation, where Earth, Sun, and Star interlace in harmonic convergence. It is a luminous cartography of transformation—an invitation to remember, re-attune, and rise into the geometry of the cosmos itself…
