All attempts to detect gravity waves using a static detector have failed, it is therefore concluded that gravity waves pass through stationary matter unaffected but interact strongly with matter which is in a state of acceleration.
The effect becomes very pronounced if the test mass is made to vibrate at the same frequency as the gravity wave, in a similar manner as one would tune-in a radio wave or a wave of any description.
The conclusion to be drawn from these observations is that the detecting mechanism of the inner ear, which detects gravity and enables humans to keep their balance, is not a static detector but a dynamic system, one in a constant state of vibration. The result is an interaction between the gravity wave and the vibrating mechanism of the inner ear which produces the Hum
It is very unlikely that all individuals have exactly the same frequency and in a population of many millions one would expect to find a spread of frequencies. It is also unlikely that the frequency at birth will remain constant for the whole life of any individual.
From the evidence it would appear that the frequency is higher at birth and decreases with age and at some point the individual can become tuned-in to the gravity waves.
This does not happen to everyone, about 5% of the population will “hear” the Hum. Some will hear it for a few years and then find it will disappear, this also can be accounted for by a change of frequency.
This may also explain the anomaly of the well known holiday effect where sufferers returning home from holiday are ecstatic to find that the Hum has disappeared, however, this respite usually lasts for only a few days after which the Hum returns to it’s previous level, and answer the vexing question of why young people with good hearing cannot hear the Hum but old deaf people can
The most important point of this assumption is that if an individual can become tuned-in to the gravity waves it should be possible to become tuned-out and thereby escape years of suffering.
Experiments will now take place in this direction
