Colorado Springs, USA, 1899

Two men trudged through a snowy field, each carrying a large, nondescript box. After reading the summit, they set about, removing the contents of the box with extreme caution, then assembling them with equal care. Once finished, it resembled a primeval satellite dish, with scores of wires and rectangular reading equipments flowing out.

One of the men was Nikola Tesla, scientist and inventor, carrying out an experiment determined to research the Earth's electromagnetic energies. He was surprised when one of the readings gave out an unexpected result, the resonance frequency of the earth. Astonished, he documented the readings.

Tesla tried to publish his unintended findings. However, as the findings could not be fully proven, they were discredited, shelved away from the world.

After two years of hard work, they finally had the result. Professor Winfried Schumann and Herbert König had long theorised about the presence of electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere, between the earth and the ionosphere. Their experiment result showed a fluctuating frequency, which proved Tesla's discovery.

The results were published, the frequency was labelled as 'Schumann resonance'. It didn't take long until a physician recognised the frequency pattern: it was similar to those of the human brain. The Earth had the same resonance as that the human alpha brainwave. It was too big a coincidence to ignore.

Since then, countless researches and experiments were done.

One experiment found that the strong Schumann frequency was connected with the weaker geomagnetic waves coming from within Earth. Another found that the Earth's base frequency, also nicknamed the 'heartbeat', was rising. No one could explain why, let alone know what this frequency truly represented. Many scientists speculated that the Schumann Resonance was a sensitive indicator of the Earth's temperature; a factor contributing to the weather, severe storms and floods. Others thought that it was connected with all development of life, not just to the human brain.

Though, despite the confusion, one thing was certain. It had a direct affect on the humans.
