If you do, you are not alone. In fact, 70% of people are able to hit the tall, metal structure actually thudding each time it hits the ground. If you aren’t used to GIFS, they are silent but moving images that don’t include sound. However, there is a reason for this strange phenomenon, according to science.

The gif was originally created Twitter user Happy Toast and has steadily gained the attention of scientists curious to how people were able to hear the image.One scientist, Lisa Debruine, started a poll to obtain the percentage of people who encountered this phenomenon. At the moment, around 70% of people are able to hear the image.

Christopher Fassnidge, who is a doctoral candidate in Psychology at City, University of London, believes this image is an illusion of synesthesia, or when the senses in our brain get crossed.

“I hear a vibrating thudding sound, and it also cuts out my tinnitus during the camera shake.” One person explained when trying to respond to Debruin’es post.

“My gut says the camera shake is responsible for the entire effect. Anything that shook the camera like that, would probably make the ‘thud’ sound,” posted another Twitter user.

As one of the many to hear the image, I too heard a thudding sound. However, some of my friends and family members could and couldn’t hear it. Do you hear the image?

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

Consciousness is one of the most mysterious phenomena of all time. Scientists, philosophers, and mystics have been searching for the answer to the question, What is Consciousness? for most of human history. In modern times, the spiritual origins of consciousness are being replaced with a materialistic view, that awareness emerges as an additive property of electrical impulses in living things. Despite the fact this theory is assumed to be true, any self-respecting psychologist will tell you we have no idea what consciousness really is. The preceding article discusses consciousness, some of its properties, and possible origins. This is helpful to contemplate because, in the act of trying to understand the mysteries of consciousness, you develop critical thinking skills and stimulate your philosophic muscles, both which are immensely important for almost everything we do in life. Additionally, you’ll develop abstract thinking skills, the ability to explore intangible realities that govern material realms. With the power of an active mind capable of navigating the realities of consciousness, great leaps in personal attainment can be made along with preparing you for the Great Work of making this world a better place.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at feedback@stillnessinthestorm.com.
