Earth Bell

← dream lab

Strike the whole planet like a bell and watch it ring — excite the Earth's real free-oscillation normal modes, see the globe breathe in the true spherical-harmonic mode shapes, and hear those hour-long resonances scaled up into an audible chord.

The globe is already ringing silently — Begin adds the sound and gives it a first great earthquake.
