Planetary Electromagnetic Entrainment: A Hypothesis on the Geomagnetic Origins of Biological Timing
Implications for Human Habitability Beyond Earth
This paper proposes that biological timing mechanisms evolved as emergent adaptations to Earth's complex electromagnetic environment, with life exploiting geomagnetic and solar system signatures as reliable environmental clocks. The hypothesis predicts that human space colonisation faces electromagnetic habitability challenges beyond those addressed by current models, and proposes two mitigation strategies: electromagnetic terraforming and graduated multi-generational adaptation.
