New Study Detects Ringing of the Global Atmosphere
| In the case of the atmosphere, the "music" comes not as a sound we could hear, but in the form of large-scale waves of atmospheric pressure spanning the globe and traveling around the equator, some moving east-to-west and others west-to-east. Each of these waves is a resonant vibration of the global atmosphere, analogous to one of the resonant pitches of a bell.
So I was thinking wouldn't it be cool if we could tap into this somehow and turn it into a global wireless Internet?

| Madness, I love it even though I haven't read any of this.
| Freaking cool. Thanks for sharing!
| I like how you added "the wired" wiki page as a source too
| I don't think that it could work in the form of high speed broadband connection. Maybe as a long range radio without the use of satellites that can carry large amounts of data at once, but even then I don't think there's been much research done into how people can tap into this.

| A ringing bell vibrates simultaneously at a low-pitched fundamental tone and at many higher-pitched overtones, producing a pleasant musical sound. A recent study, just published in the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences by scientists at Kyoto University and the University of Hawai'i at Mnoa, shows that the Earth's entire atmosphere vibrates in an analogous manner, in a striking confirmation of theories developed by physicists over the last two centuries.
