The environmental threat

Human Computer 

• The Wiring: Your nervous system is a complex network of wiring that transmits information and commands using tiny electrical signals.
• The Processor: Your brain is the central processor, generating and interpreting electrical impulses constantly.
• The Power Grid: Every cell in your body maintains a voltage across its membrane (membrane potential) to function, collectively forming a biological power grid.

Like any computer, this system is designed to operate within a specific set of environmental parameters, including a relatively stable electromagnetic field—the one provided by our planet.

Space weather, particularly Geomagnetic Disturbances (GMDs), directly threatens this stability. GMDs are major fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field caused by events like solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) from the sun.

Think of the Earth's magnetic field as the protective casing around our global computer. A severe GMD is like placing a powerful, fluctuating magnet against that casing. We already know this has a massive impact on our man-made electrical systems, threatening to destabilize power grids and communication satellites.

The "Human Computer" concept posits that our delicate, internal bio-electrical grid is also susceptible to this external chaos.

An Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) is the most extreme and acute form of this threat. While often associated with nuclear weapons, a massive solar flare can also cause a naturally occurring EMP. An EMP is a powerful, instantaneous burst of electromagnetic energy that can induce catastrophic currents in electrical conductors.

• For Electronics: An EMP can permanently destroy sensitive electronic circuits, wiping out everything from our power grid to the phone in your pocket.
• For the Human Computer: If the human body is a bio-electrical system, a massive EMP presents the ultimate environmental shock. The sudden, intense energy pulse could overwhelm our internal wiring, disrupting the precise electrical signals needed for our brain, heart, and nervous system to function correctly.

But we don't have to wait for a catastrophic EMP to observe the potential effects of space weather on our biology. There is a growing awareness of an anomaly that many people are already experiencing: when major solar flares occur, a notable number of individuals report feeling unwell.

These anecdotal yet consistent reports often describe symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, light-headedness, heightened anxiety, and moodiness that correlate with the timing of significant space weather events. This suggests that our sensitive bio-electrical systems—our "Human Computers"—are already reacting to these powerful fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field. If these relatively common solar events can produce such tangible effects, it poses a critical question: what would a truly massive disruption, like a solar EMP, do to our biology on a larger scale?

This is where the connection becomes a tangible benefit. If we accept the premise that the "Human Computer" is vulnerable to extreme electromagnetic events—and is already being affected by minor ones—then protecting it becomes a logical priority.

An EMP shield, traditionally designed for electronics, can be framed as a tool for personal bio-electrical protection.

1. Creating a Safe Zone: In this context, an "EMP shield" (whether it's a shielded room, device, or wearable technology) is designed to create a "quiet" space for the Human Computer. It functions by absorbing or diverting the intense energy from an EMP or severe GMD, preventing it from reaching the body.
2. Preserving System Integrity: By shielding the body, the goal is to protect the integrity of its delicate electrical systems. This means safeguarding the nervous system's signaling, stabilizing cellular voltage, and protecting the brain's processing functions from being thrown into chaos by a massive external energy surge.

The profit to the human body isn't financial; it's the preservation of health and biological function. By protecting the "Human Computer" from the ultimate threat of an EMP, these shields provide a way to maintain homeostasis and ensure the system can continue to operate as intended, even in a catastrophically disrupted electromagnetic environment.

Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Awareness is a 24/7 Concern

We are constantly surrounded by electromagnetic frequencies, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Being aware of the electromagnetic environment we live in is crucial, and using technology to measure these frequencies can benefit everyone. Here's why this matters, along with key information about EMP preparedness:

Government Awareness and Action:

1. FEMA has issued guidance on preparedness for EMP events, stressing emergency plans and supplies.

2. The Department of Homeland Security emphasizes EMP impacts on critical infrastructure and community resilience.

3. GAO reports discuss vulnerabilities of the electrical grid and infrastructure to EMP threats.

4. Some states have developed specific EMP preparedness plans.

5. Various agencies conduct public education campaigns about EMP effects and preparedness.

Potential Effects on Families:

• Electronic device failure (computers, phones, appliances)

• Widespread power outages affecting essential services

• Vehicle inoperability due to electronic system failure

• Disruption of water supply systems

• Communication failures hindering emergency services

Potential Effects on the Body:

• Increased stress and anxiety from sudden technology loss

• Risks for those with chronic health conditions due to medical facility/medication access issues

• Nutrition and hydration concerns from food supply disruptions

• Physical safety risks from potential societal instability

Constant Exposure and Measurement:

It's important to recognize that we're constantly exposed to various electromagnetic frequencies in our daily lives. While not all of these are at EMP levels, being aware of our electromagnetic environment is wise. Consider:

1. Using EMF meters to measure electromagnetic field strength in your home and workplace

2. Identifying sources of high EMF exposure in your environment

3. Learning about EMF shielding techniques for personal devices and living spaces

4. Understanding the difference between everyday EMF exposure and potential EMP events

5. Staying informed about evolving research on long-term effects of EMF exposure

By being aware of our constant exposure to electromagnetic frequencies and taking steps to measure and mitigate where possible, we can better prepare for both everyday EMF concerns and potential EMP events. This awareness, combined with following government preparedness guidelines, can help individuals and families build resilience against a range of electromagnetic challenges.

Remember, while it's important to be prepared, it's equally important to maintain a balanced perspective and not let these concerns overwhelm daily life. Stay informed, take reasonable precautions, and focus on overall health and well-being by being aware, proactive, and prepared skillfully.
