I was watching GMA this morning, and I saw this same thing. Bizare. I wonder how far fetched it is, or is it close to reality????

Loadstones

Post by TJ »

Regarding this theory it makes me thing of something that I've read recently. Bees have loadstones in their abdomen that help them "read" magnetic fields of the earth, and it is thought that they use them for navigation. With the advent of not only electrical fields around houses, and hydro boxes, lines, but also cell phones and those large cell phone towers which emit signals (more of them being installed every day - and spreading to remote areas), the bees could be very confused getting mixed signals. Also, what about nuclear testing and the radiation that disperses around the earth and in the winds, as the world turns? Also, I am thinking of the large tsunami in December a few years ago and the displacement of a large portion of the earth's crust, and how the earth's core changes shape. If you have ever seen a picture of the earth's layers they make the core look like a perfectly round ball, but it isn't. It bulges here and there and is closer to the surface at some parts of the earth then others. And it is constantly changing. I saw a pictures of the resulting huge fault line in the ocean from after that incident. Does anyone know of any research along any of these lines? (regarding navigation by loadstones)?
