RE: Everything is magnetic! - physics explained
This is so awesome. Perhaps you could help me explain something better than I've been able to explain it before.
I know that an EEG works by monitoring the electrical pulses telling the heart to beat, not the actual muscle contractions. I also know that wherever an electrical current flows, a magnetic field is generated. What I'm having a hard to explaining is the magnetic field generated by our hearts and nervous systems within the human body, and implications of such.
I also know that the electrical current moving through the wiring of a house must also generate an magnetic field. The interactions between that electromagnetic field and that of the human bodies inside it fascinates me, and I would love to be able to understand it the way you break things down in this post.
Thoughts?
EEG device records electrical signals from the brain (responses of neurons), not the hearth. It uses electrodes that are attached to the scalp or the cortex. EKG is electrocadiography, it works in a similar way.
Everything creates magnetic fields because everything is made of moving electrons. That means wires, technology and human bodies too. It does have an effect on us, everything does but that effect is so minor that some people do not even call it an effect. Walking barefoot immediately fixes everything that the modern technology may have done to a person, because of the free electrons in the ground. The same grounding thing is used with electricity in houses. You do not have to worry about house wiring having a negative effect on you, as long as you do not mess with the wires LOL
This is an interesting and big subject, I will write about it in the future. I hope I answered your question at least a little with this comment. Thank you for your interest and lovely thoughts 💚
Thanks so much. Yes, I meant EKG, important distinction. The only thing still puzzling me is the magnetic field being generated by the electrical wiring of a house. The electric may be grounded, so no direct threat to us, but a magnetic field is still generated that is that of this huge house, which is much larger than the "wiring" of our little bodies. Why would that not have an effect on our own electromagnetic field? The research done by Becker has shown that electromagnetic fields can regrow bone that isn't healing on its own just by being set. Why would larger em fields not cause other growth in the human body under chronic exposure?
For starters, because those magnetic fields are not unified and in one direction. You have many wires in many directions in your house and magnetic fields are canceling each other out. To have a big effect you would need to have a strong magnetic field that is directed in a single way and electromagnetic fields that Becker is talking about are much stronger than those that wires in houses generate. I am not saying there is no effect, I am saying that it is not something you should worry about and think that it will have negative consequences on your body.
Have you seen that experiment with levitating frog? Frog levitates in a magnetic field because it is mostly made out of water but also because the magnetic field they have put it in is huge. We do not have that huge magnetic fields in our houses. A huge house does not mean a huge magnetic field because the house is not generating it, wires are, lots of wires. If the house itself would be generating a magnetic field, one strong magnetic field, than we would have a problem. You can measure the magnetic field of anything by using one of the various instruments to check how strong a magnetic field is.

Thanks so much for this! Really helpful.
