The Schumann Resonance is a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earth's electromagnetic field spectrum.

Schumann resonance is due to the space between the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere acting as a waveguide. The limited dimensions of the earth cause this waveguide to act as a resonant cavity for electromagnetic waves in the ELF band. The cavity is naturally excited by energy from lightning strikes. Since the seventh overtone lies at approximately 60 Hz, the cavity is also driven by the North American power grid.

The lowest-frequency (and highest-intensity) mode of the Schumann resonance is at a frequency of approximately 7.83 Hz. Detectable overtones extend upwards into the kilohertz range.

The phenomenon is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who predicted it mathematically in 1952, but it was first observed by Nikola Tesla and formed the basis for his scheme for broadcast power and wireless communications (Tesla 1905).

The previous poster has pasted in a good basic definition from Wikipedia so I won't go over that.

The fundamental Schumann frequency is not about to change anytime soon, as it depends on fundamental physical properties of the Earth and its atmosphere. What can be observed is that different harmonics are emphasized at different times. Some scientists relate this to global climate change.

I assume the question is referring to the second link below. This a load of new-age pseudoscience incorporating the Mayan calendar, sunrise in the west, the "photon belt", the fifth dimension, and other claptrap. Its not gonna happen.
