Do disruptions in Earth's Schumann Resonance signal indicate the end of Earth's electromagnetic transformation and the beginning of its geographical shift? No, that's not true: The Tomsk Space Observing System team who recorded the signal told Lead Stories the anomaly in the Schumann Resonance signal was due to a supply substation accident at the Tomsk facility.
The claim appeared on Tiktok, on June 20, with a caption reading:
The Coming days will bring about many phenomenons and events.
Planet Earth today is witnessing massive and fast changes. Climate abnormality and the increase in earthquakes mean the end of Earth's electromagnetic transformation and the beginning of the Earth's geographical shift.
This is what the post looked like on TikTok at the time of writing:

The claims were triggered by an anomaly in the Schumann Resonance signal recorded by the Space Observing System in Tomsk, Russia, on June 19, 2023. The recording generated speculation, pseudoscience, and false claims about its meaning and its influence on life on Earth.
The Schumann resonance is a physical phenomenon discovered by German scientist Winfried Otto Schumann, where trapped electromagnetic waves with matching frequencies generate resonance in Earth's atmosphere with shallow frequency, some describe as the Earth's heartbeat. The effects of Schumann resonance on Earth are still being studied. Still, there is no proof that this phenomenon indicates significant changes in humans or Earth.
The Tomsk Observing team, who recorded the signal, told Leadstories in an email that it was a glitch:
Indeed, the strange resonances observed the day before were caused by an accident at the supply substation and do not correspond to reality. The issues have now been resolved. We apologize for the possible misleading
Similar anomalies were reported before, like the signal recorded on December 2020, caused by snow falling on the antenna of a monitoring station in northern Italy, which also generated misinformation that was debunked by the Leadstories team in this article.
