Ooh, that's nifty! There's an app called Carrington (after the event of the same name) which aims to demonstrate that Solar CMEs have an EMF impact on the Earth and is associated with increased seismic activity. So this research may indicate that Lunar, and possibly Solar tides (yes the Sun has tidal effects) have BOTH gravitational and EMF components.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

(This is entirely speculative and I don’t study biology)
I found out recently that we’ve experimented with and effectively demonstrated changing gene expression by applying electrical current, I wonder if human biology could be sensitive to the emf in some way https://doi.org/10.3389/fmolb.2023.1161191
Looks like an in vitro study with human cells, very interesting. I'll save the paper for later perusal. Thank you! And point out that the Arndt–Schulz rule may apply here, in substances, and as it appears to do with electrostim. A small stimuli (microamperage current) stimulates the physiologic response, and a large stimuli (milliamperage current) inhibits physiologic response. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arndt%E2%80%93Schulz_rule (wikipedia page may need some update).

Ohh would be very interested in your takeaway if you do end up having time to dig in a bit! As an avid sci-fi fan I like the idea of the earth’s EMF playing a role gene expression.
It does seem like a large electric current would not have the same stimulating (or modulating?) effects as the experiment in the study, but I suppose there are some genes we would want to discourage the expression of, so if something like Arndt-Schulz applies that could be pretty useful.
