K, so, for whatever reason, this decade has been popular for articles from seemingly scientific sources saying that geomagnetic storms are causing negative health effects on the body, through magnetic field fluctuations. I looked it up…and during the most extreme geomagnetic storms, Earth’s magnetic field fluctuates at a rate of about 500 nanotesla per minute. Is that rate of change enough to induce enough of a current that it acts as a cellular stressor?

edit: I was reading through a Reddit thread earlier where ER staff mentioned how during geomagnetic storms the ER is unusually busy and how their hospital is considering installing magnetic field detecting devices so they can plan accordingly…?

    you can’t really prove a negative. you can’t prove god does not exist and you can’t prove anything that interacts with our cells and bodies have no noticable effect. Like anything else its up to studies to prove that they do with a decent statistical likely hood that the study is accurate. I mean things that are well studied and considered modern miracle medicine still gets skepticism.
