I've heard and read some things about the photon belt, but none of it is conclusive. Some sources say that the extreme concentration of photon energy will disrupt all electrical devices on Earth and some sources say it will push Earth into an estheric (spelling?) dimension. Other sources say that it will take the Earth 2000 years to move through this belt and then other sources say that we have already entered the photon belt. Other sources are just ridiculous. To be honest, I still don't know what the photon belt is exactly and whether it holds any implications for life on Earth at all. How big is this belt and how did it form? How long will it last and has the Earth ever passed through it before? If so, how long does one cycle last? I need someone to really dumb this down for me; like a "Photon belt for dummies" book. No rocket science please.

There is no such THING as the PHOTON BELT. In fact it is actually a theory. The only thing like that is a solar flare from the sun. Photons are particles of light and energy and wouldn't effect anything on Earth.
PS, the photon belt is actually a band of energy from the sun, ie, although it is theoretical I still know a bit about it although it is very little. The sun gives off solar flares but theoretically it gives off a rounded wave or a blast wave that slows down and this band is invisible and orbits around the sun. It isn't actually to do with photons, it is to do with energy although it is on the electromagnetic light spectrum. It contains electrons but is relative to and is related to plasma and energy physics this effects the Earth the same way as a solar flare does so the "solar wave" or the so called "photon belt" physically a belief of when all equipment went and goes down.
I beleve there isn't one but we are always make up theories and beliefs of things to understand anomalies.

Never heard of a Photon belt..... There are other "belts" (Google "Van Allen Belt").
Photons are little "packets of energy " like light, radio waves, X Rays etc. which all move at the speed of light.
Maybe you're thinking of the "solar Wind", which is a stream of charged particles coming from the sun. These can knock out satellites and mess up electronics and affect power lines, or maybe you're thinking of a layer of electrically charged particals that surrounds the earth called the ionosphere. This can interfere with radio transmissions too...

I've got several photon belts. I hang them up on the inside of my wardrobe door on some nails. There has only been minimal disruption to electrical devices, no phone reception, car won't start, when I've worn them. They do glow in the dark which I see more as a benefit. I've never worn any of my earth belts at the same time (why wear 2 belts, I'm only wearing one pair of trousers) and I keep them in a draw separately. The book 'Photon belt for dummies' is more about making and decorating your belts and contains very little historical/educational information. Hope that helps

There is no such thing as the photon belt. It is just a bunch of pseudo scientific, UFO, new age nonsense.
