These E/M waves are thought to harmonically couple with the inner ear, or to cause nearby objects to vibrate sympathetically thus producing the observed low volume sounds). |

And here's a GLP-appropriate Bible verse (atheists may read, too):
God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong.
- 1 Corinthians 1:27 |
