The Sun reveals itself in the 386–2.439-nHz (1-mo–13-yr) band of polar (φsun>|70°|) fast (>700 km s^−1) solar wind’s decade-scale dynamics as a globally completely vibrating/resonating magnetoalternator and not just a proverbial engine anymore. Thus North–South separation of hourly-averaged, 1994–2008 Ulysses samplings of the <10 nT polar winds in ~1.6·10^7 –2.5·10^9-erg energies revealed spectral signatures of a ≥99%-significant Sun-borne global differential resonant activity, verified across disparate data. Confirming the Alfvén’s view on a Sun globally resonating under its Ps=~11-yr Schwabe mode, this Alfvén (a-mode) resonance (AR) comprising Rossby-like r-modes and cavity-confined R-modes, is governed by Ps at a remarkable ~25% field variance northside, a ~9-yr degeneration of Ps at ~20% southside, and a ~10-yr degeneration of Ps under equatorial mixing. While composing the PG∈~(88–100-yr) Gleissberg cycle, the 9–10–11-yr sector coupling also co-triggers AR, Pi=Ps/i, i=2…n, n ∈ א, imprinted in the fast winds at least to the order n=100. The overwhelming (anisotropy moderating) and deterministic (with Φ>>12 fidelity) AR is accompanied by a most useful symmetrical antiresonance, P(-), whose both N/S tailing harmonics P(-)17 are the well-known 154-day Rieger period, from which the couplings-freed Rieger resonance sprouts as wind’s own. Thus the Sun is a typical, ~3-dB-attenuated ring system of differentially rotating and contrarily vibrating conveyor belts and layers, with a continuous spectrum of modes, patterns complete in both parities, and resolution better than 81.3 nHz (S) and 55.6 nHz (N) in lowermost frequencies (≲2μHz in most modes). Unlike a resonating car engine that tries but fails to separate its fixed casing, the resonating free Sun exhausts the wind in a shake-off alongside the rotational axis. AR advances standard stellar models, agrees with laboratory experiments for enhanced studies of the Sun interior and heliosphere, and can explain the million-degree corona and solar abundance.

I recently showed that Mw5.6+ earthquakes occur due to (as the lithosphere rides on) vast waves of the Moon-driven and gravitationally aided 1–72h long-periodic Earth body resonance (EBR). Here I report a methodologically independent proof: observation of actual EBR waves in solid matter using continuous GPS (cGPS). Superharmonic resonance periods from the EBR’s 55’–15 days (0.303 mHz–0.771605 μHz) band are thus recoverable in spectra of ITRF2014 positional components solved kinematically from 30-s cGPS samplings. The signal is so pure, strong, and stable that even daylong components are always and only periodic with Earth resonance periods constantly 99%-significant and of very high fidelity (ϕ>>12); very low fidelity (ϕ<<12) characterizes overtones and undertones. The examined cGPS stations have diurnal EBR fingerprints: unique sets of ~13-18 EBR periods, most clearly formed during ~M6+ quiescence, enabling depiction of EBR orientation for real-time EBR mapping. Furthermore, weeklong component time series reveal complete EBR and unavoidable undertone series (with very high fidelity, too) as the signature of an EBR’s companion sympathetic resonance. Also, I demonstrate the concept of EBR mapping using the Mexico City–Los Angeles–San Francisco cGPS profile alongside a tectonic plate boundary, successfully depicting the preparation phase of the 2020 Puerto Rico Mw6.4–Mw6.6 sequence. I finish by showing that the EBR has triggered the 2019 Ridgecrest Mw6.4–Mw7.1, sequence too. EBR maps can now be produced — for seismic prediction and to unobscure (decouple EBR from) geophysical observables such as stress/strain. Applications of EBR include geophysical prospecting and detection at all scales and at any time.

Sun–Jupiter decade-scale magnetic entanglement emerges from Wilcox Solar Observatory 1975-2021 N–S ≲150 μT mean-field data, as a global response of solar magnetic fields to the magnetar-type evolution of Jupiter ~2001–onward global magnetoactivity discovered recently in the 1–6 month (385.8–64.3 nHz) band of Rieger resonance. At extreme ≲20% field variance, the sudden Jovian deviation is so high it forced solar magnetoactivity devolution into inverse-matching response, at effectively moderate ≲1.5% mean-field variance. Thus as Jupiter magnetoactivity evolved sinusoidally, the Sun began mirror-compensating ~2002 (the epoch of Abbe number drop), reducing its magnetoactivity in decreasingly sinusoidal fashion to solar cycle 24 extreme minimum. For check, 2004-2021 WIND mission data revealed <0.5-var% (<5-dB) calm ≲50 nT interplanetary magnetic field at L1, slightly undulated by the Jupiter evolution impulse, thus excluding solar wind and Sun as impulse sources (confirmed by statistical fidelity waning down Jupiter–L1–Sun diffusion vector spaces, as 10^7–10^3–10^2). Magnetic tangling of stars and hot (<0.1 AU) Jupiters was blamed previously for observed star superflaring 10^2–10^7 times more energetic than the strongest solar flare. Accordingly, the Sun ante-impulse locking is a shock-absorbing mechanism — routine shutter-response to Jupiter recurrent phasing into the flare-brown-dwarf state — with which the Sun enters a grand minimum (sleep mode). As Jupiter intermittently becomes an indirect driver of Earth’s climate, the Sun prepares to discharge stored energy as a non-extinction ~10^32-erg superflare (currently overdue). The mechanism, in which warm/cold Jupiters too trigger (mild) superflares, possibly defends stars against incoming Jupiters.
