Rev. Joe’s Random Thought #7,683

yeah I know you did not ask!

You should so be blessed – well cursed at times actually – with a mind such as mine, making all these weird connections between my rumored neurons. Just be thankful that I do not share all of my random thoughts.

Okay, this is not so much a random thought, but more of an interesting/strange fact that I came across while watching a Great Courses offerings,  How the Earth Works. The earth oscillates much like a struck bell. And the earth is continuing being struck by earth quakes, the movement of tectonic plates, the movement of magma, etc. which causes this oscillation.

The fact that I found interesting is that it oscillates at a note of E, 20 octaves below middle E on a piano.  Much too low to be heard by human ears, and, most likely, any biological ear.  Now you know, the note of the earth is an E.  So, if you are lost in space, just set your craft to hone in on this E, and you will be home before you know it… okay that was a random thought.

And that, my friends, is my two bits for the this day, the 273rd day of 2026.
