Can one hear the ocean in a seashell? Yes! The tides are at play in the inner sanctum of the shell, pulled by the gravity of the full moon. Waves of sound rush from the spiral of the shell into the cochlear spiral of the inner ear. Inexplicably, seagulls are often heard as well. Skeptics may claim that the sound one hears is the rushing of one’s blood. Yet "it has long been established that the makeup of human blood bears a haunting resemblance to that of sea water” (Larry Gedney, Alaska Science Forum). (Previously, we found vintage proof that the ocean one hears in a seashell is the shore at Atlantic City.)
