あらすじ・解説
Earth's magnetic field—an invisible force surrounding our planet—silently shapes life in astonishing ways, from guiding migratory birds (possibly via quantum effects in cryptochrome proteins) to steering sea turtles and magnetite-rich bacteria. Remarkably, humans may retain vestigial magnetoreception, as Caltech studies show brainwave changes in rotating magnetic fields. This episode explores how life perceives magnetism, from ancient microbial navigation to potential subconscious human responses, revealing a hidden layer of our relationship with the planet's primal forces.
