In a Solar Storm, as Neptune, Saturn, Earth and Mars Come into Alignment
The Resonance of Quantum Planetary Meditations is Enhanced
Earth is connecting on multiple lines of conjunction, within a grand cross from Pluto to Uranus, Neptune to Mars.
We’re following geophysicist Stefan Burns on Youtube whose work centers on forecasting Earth seismic activity based on space weather, astronomy, solar activity, astrology, Schumann resonance, and open source data on energy effecting our spiritual and physical reality.
Aligning with the resonance of the planet during these events is enhanced with vibrational tools and meditative music. Check out our Sound Healing page with tuning forks from Jonathan Goldman and music from Steven Halpern.
Space Weather, Earthquakes & the Electrified Dance of the Planets
I’ve felt it for as long as I can remember.
The silent magnetism of the Moon pulling my sleep into strange tides… The deep hum of the Earth underfoot when no one else seems to notice… The electric crackle in the air before a storm that has nothing to do with clouds.
And the more I learn, the more I follow my curiosity the more I find—it’s not just intuition. It’s physics. We are tuned to the same frequencies that pulse between the Earth and sky. The Schumann Resonance, Earth’s natural electromagnetic heartbeat, resonates between 7.83 and 33 Hz—the same range as our brainwaves and our deepest meditative states. When the Earth is hit by solar storms or planetary alignments, the Schumann field ripples, and so do we.
For years, I didn’t have a name for it. I just knew there was a conversation happening between the heavens and the Earth—one we weren’t quite tuned into. But now, I’m finding voices that speak this language fluently.
Stefan is doing what my gut has told me was true all along:
That space weather—solar flares, planetary alignments, and shifts in the solar wind—directly impacts Earth weather, seismic activity, and even our moods and electromagnetic harmony.
It turns out, when the pressure of the solar wind drops, it creates a kind of vacuum. And in that vacuum? Earth responds. Sometimes with lightning storms. Sometimes with earthquakes. Sometimes with the quiet hum of something about to shift.
He maps it. He shows the magnetic charge. And most importantly, he’s not stuck in old science. He’s exploring the electric universe in real time.
Here Are a Few of My Favorite Stefan Burns Videos:

Stefan shows how the sudden lull in solar wind preceded earthquakes in the Pacific. A must-watch if you’re into planetary cause-and-effect. We are now under a tsunami watch in the Pacific.
You’ll never look at a weather map the same way again. Learn how incoming plasma and planetary alignments build the conditions for Earth drama.
Why This Matters to Coolest Tech + Coolest Meditation Ever
This is more than theory. This is about resonance. When we meditate, when we wear tech designed to ground us, when we drink high-charged, structured water—what we’re really doing is harmonizing with a much larger circuit.
A cosmic one.
One that includes the Sun, the Moon, the planets—and you.
So take a look. Follow your gut. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll start to feel the pulse too.

Links Between Immunosuppression and 5G: What We Know & What’s Still Unclear
⚡️1. Does the Electrical Conductivity of Water Increase with Temperature? YES
Fact: As water temperature rises, its molecular activity increases, leading to more ion dissociation and higher electrical conductivity (EC).
This is well-documented in physics and impacts everything from meteorology to biomedical devices.
In the atmosphere or human body, warmer water = more conductive water = more responsiveness to EMFs.
2. Does 5G Use Frequencies That Interact with Water Molecules? YES
5G operates in high-frequency millimeter wave bands, often 24 GHz, 28 GHz, 39 GHz — and eventually up to 60 GHz.
The 60 GHz frequency is known to resonate with oxygen molecules suggesting inflammatory cellular response.
Oxygen absorption and effects on the body: The 60 GHz frequency is known to resonate with oxygen molecules, leading to atmospheric absorption. This absorption limits the range of 60 GHz signals in the air. It’s crucial to distinguish between atmospheric absorption and potential direct effects on oxygen within the body and your lungs, which needs more research. It’s important to understand the biological effects of 60 GHz radiation and consider both thermal and non-thermal interactions.
Controversial link to reactive oxygen species: Some studies have suggested that extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields can influence reactive oxygen species levels and, in turn, inflammation. However, the relevance of these findings to the 60 GHz frequency band and the specific mechanisms of interaction are still being investigated.
These waves can agitate water molecules, causing dielectric heating (a similar concept to how microwaves heat food, just at different power and frequency scales).
The 24-40 GHz band interacts strongly with water molecules. Current understanding of the effects of 24–40 GHz electromagnetic waves on human body’s cellular water suggests an inflammatory response:
Water Absorption: Water strongly absorbs electromagnetic radiation in this frequency range, potentially leading to a conversion of absorbed energy into heat.
Shallow Penetration: Millimeter waves in this range have a shallow penetration depth in human tissue, meaning they are primarily absorbed by the outermost layers, such as the skin.
Thermal and Non-Thermal Effects:
Thermal: High-power and/or long-duration exposure may cause heating of tissue and related biological effects such as structural protein degeneration, cell death, tissue coagulation, and the activation of intracellular stress responses.
Non-Thermal: Research on potential non-thermal effects is ongoing and suggests possibilities like:
Molecular orientation, where the electric field interacts with biomolecules’ dipole moments.
3. Are There Possible Biological Consequences? YES: Cellular Charge Shift
Human cells are ~60–70% water, and the water inside cells is not just passive—it’s structured, charged, and interacts with EMFs.
Researchers like Dr. Gerald Pollack (structured water theory) suggest that water inside cells forms layers of electrical potential, known as the Exclusion Zone (EZ).
When external EMFs (like 5G) introduce high-frequency oscillations, especially in electrically conductive environments (i.e., hydrated tissue), they may:
✅ So: Is There a 5G–Water–Cellular Charge Connection?
Yes, here’s a simplified synthesis:
5G millimeter waves can interact with water molecules in and around cells. As body temperature rises (or exposure is prolonged), water becomes more conductive, potentially amplifying EMF-induced electrical activity inside cells—affecting voltage, signaling, and possibly immune function.
This is not yet universally accepted science, but it’s biophysically plausible and increasingly studied.
⚠️ Important:
This effect is not thermal damage like with high-power microwave radiation.
It’s more about chronic, low-level oscillatory interference with cellular charge, hydration layers, and mitochondrial signaling.
People with higher body burden (inflammation, poor hydration, toxic load) may be more vulnerable.
Water and 5G: Is 5G a threat to your immune system through affecting water in the human body?
Filled with wonder and presented with love by award-winning filmmaker Ken Sheetz, The Flanagan Experiments is a life-affirming documentary that honors the legacy of visionary inventor Dr. Patrick Flanagan.
Born on October 11, 1944, Dr. Flanagan was a child prodigy who began inventing at age 8. At 17, he gained national fame when Life Magazine featured his revolutionary invention, the Neurophone — a device that transmits sound directly to the brain via ultrasonic waves, boosting cognitive performance.
Over the next five decades, Flanagan became a legend in the fields of vibrational health technology, bioenergetics, and anti-aging innovation. His creations — including Crystal Energy, MegaHydrate, and the Sensor V Medallion — continue to transform lives through enhanced hydration, energy, and cellular health.
A Meeting of Minds
In 2012, filmmaker Ken Sheetz met Dr. Flanagan while producing the acclaimed documentary The Coolest Meditation Ever, filmed at the South Pole on 12.12.12. That encounter sparked a creative bond and led to over 50 illuminating interviews with Flanagan, featuring luminaries like Deepak Chopra and the BuzzBroz.
Inside the Film
This feature-length film curates the most compelling moments from the viral Flanagan Experiments YouTube series — which earned over 25 million views — to explore:
The Neurophone and its mind-expanding capabilities
The power of the Sensor V Medallion for energetic balance
The cellular hydration boost of Crystal Energy and MegaHydrate
Dr. Flanagan’s insights on science, love, and his marriage to Stephanie Sutton
Why Watch The Flanagan Experiments?
If you’re passionate about biohacking, alternative health, and energy medicine, this film offers a rare window into the mind of a man who bridged science and spirit. Whether you’re a long-time admirer or just discovering Flanagan’s genius, this is the documentary you didn’t know you needed.
Redox molecules are essential components found in every cell of the body, playing a crucial role in cellular communication through redox cell signaling. These molecules enable cells to coordinate and respond effectively to various challenges, such as toxins and damaged DNA. However, as the body ages and faces stress and toxins, the production of redox molecules diminishes, potentially leading to imbalances that can impact overall health.
The Importance of Redox Molecules in Cellular Communication
Every cell in the human body manufactures redox molecules, which facilitate redox cell signaling. This intricate communication process enables cells to exchange vital information. For instance, when harmful substances or cells with damaged DNA are detected, cells collaborate to eliminate the threats, promoting overall well-being.
Impact of Aging, Stress, and Toxins on Redox Molecule Production
As individuals go through puberty and beyond, the body’s production of redox molecules decreases by approximately 10% per decade. Moreover, external factors like stress and exposure to toxins further diminish the production of these crucial molecules. Consequently, cellular communication may become less effective, leading to the accumulation of toxins and the replication of cells with damaged DNA.
The Redox Basis of Illness
Illness can manifest in two main ways: oxidative stress-related symptoms, akin to biological rusting, or inflammatory (reactive) signs and symptoms. Achieving optimal health involves addressing imbalances in these areas and restoring the redox balance, which plays a pivotal role in overall well-being.
Conclusion: Striving for Redox Balance
Redox molecules serve as vital messengers in the intricate network of cellular communication. However, age, stress, and toxins can disrupt the production of these molecules, potentially leading to health issues. By understanding the significance of redox molecules and taking proactive steps to restore balance, individuals can enhance their overall health and well-being.
EDITOR’S NOTE: CTE found this article to be an accurate and balanced presentation of the research and benefits of hydrogen water. Ken Sheetz and I just feel better when we supplement with hydrogen water and love the easy-to-use HydroGO+ portable molecular hydrogen generating flask in our store. This is a reprint of this Healthline article found HERE.
Plain water is the healthiest choice to keep your body hydrated. However, some beverage companies claim that adding elements like hydrogen to water can enhance health benefits.
This article reviews hydrogen water and its purported health effects to help you decide whether it’s a smart choice.
Hydrogen water is simply pure water with extra hydrogen molecules added to it.
Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic gas that binds to other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon to form various compounds, including table sugar and water (1Trusted Source).
Water molecules consist of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, but some assert that infusing water with additional hydrogen produces benefits that plain water cannot deliver.
It’s thought that the body can’t effectively absorb the hydrogen in plain water, as it’s bound to oxygen.
Certain companies claim that when extra hydrogen is added, these hydrogen molecules are “free” and more accessible to your body.
The product is made by infusing hydrogen gas into pure water before packing it into cans or pouches.
Hydrogen water can be pricey — with one popular company selling a 30-pack of 8-ounce (240-ml) cans for $90 and suggesting consumers drink at least three cans per day.
Additionally, hydrogen tablets meant to be added to plain or carbonated water are sold online and in health food stores.
Hydrogen water machines can also be purchased by those wanting to make it at home.
Hydrogen water is marketed to decrease inflammation, boost athletic performance, and even slow your aging process.
However, research in this area is limited, which is why many health experts are skeptical of its supposed benefits.
SUMMARY Hydrogen water is pure water infused with extra hydrogen molecules. It can be purchased in pouches and cans or made at home using special machines.
Does It Benefit Health? Though human studies on the benefits of hydrogen water are limited, several small trials have had promising results.
May Provide Antioxidant Benefits
Free radicals are unstable molecules that contribute to oxidative stress, a major cause of disease and inflammation (2Trusted Source).
Molecular hydrogen fights free radicals in your body and protects your cells from the effects of oxidative stress (3Trusted Source).
In an eight-week study in 49 people receiving radiation therapy for liver cancer, half the participants were instructed to drink 51–68 ounces (1,500–2,000 ml) of hydrogen-enriched water per day.
At the end of the trial, those who consumed the hydrogen water experienced decreased levels of hydroperoxide — a marker of oxidative stress — and maintained greater antioxidant activity after radiation treatment than the control group (4Trusted Source).
However, a recent four-week study in 26 healthy people demonstrated that drinking 20 ounces (600 ml) of hydrogen-rich water per day did not decrease markers of oxidative stress, such as hydroperoxide, compared to a placebo group (5Trusted Source).
More studies are needed to confirm if drinking hydrogen decreases the effects of oxidative stress in both healthy people and those with chronic conditions.
May Benefit Those With Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a condition characterized by high blood sugar, increased triglyceride levels, high cholesterol, and excess belly fat.
Chronic inflammation is suspected to be a contributing factor (6Trusted Source).
Some research shows that hydrogen water may be effective at reducing markers of oxidative stress and improving risk factors related to metabolic syndrome.
One 10-week study instructed 20 people with signs of metabolic syndrome to drink 30–34 ounces (0.9–1 liter) of hydrogen-enriched water per day.
At the end of the trial, participants experienced significant reductions in “bad” LDL and total cholesterol, increases in “good” HDL cholesterol, greater antioxidant activity, and reduced levels of inflammatory markers, such as TNF-α (7Trusted Source).
May Benefit Athletes
Many companies promote hydrogen water as a natural way to enhance athletic performance.
The product may benefit athletes by reducing inflammation and slowing the accumulation of lactate in the blood, which is a sign of muscle fatigue (8Trusted Source).
A study in ten male soccer players found that athletes who drank 51 ounces (1,500 ml) of hydrogen-enriched water experienced lower levels of blood lactate and decreased muscle fatigue after exercise compared to a placebo group (9Trusted Source).
Another small two-week study in eight male cyclists demonstrated that the men who consumed 68 ounces (2 liters) of hydrogen-enriched water daily had greater power output during sprinting exercises than those who drank regular water (10Trusted Source).
However, this is a relatively new area of research, and more studies are needed to fully understand how drinking hydrogen-enriched water may benefit athletes.
SUMMARY Some studies suggest that drinking hydrogen water may decrease the effects of oxidative stress, improve metabolic syndrome, and boost athletic performance.
We are growing rapidly. Over 40 of the coolest tech ever products are now featured on this website that’s only 10 months old. The site has been such a hit that we recently upgraded it. BTW, our mothership site CoolestMeditationEver is under remodeling and will relaunch soon.
So how did a planetary healing website birth this new website for health and wellness technology, known affectionately as Coolest Tech Ever out of respect for our connection to the continent of ice? For that let’s time travel, tech we hope to offer you one day, to the fall of 2012. I was base-camped in Sedona filming healers for company called SpiritQuest and on a spirit quest of my own raising money for an Indiegogo to film a series of 24 meditations Antarctica. Out of the blue an LA friend, Nick Edwards, called and said to me, “Ken, I love your films so much I am going to introduce you to one of the greatest scientists of the New Age, in fact maybe the father of New Age movement himself, Sedona resident Dr. Patrick Flanagan. It’s going to change your life forever. Pat is flat-out going to be your most amazing contact of your career.”
I told Nick I was embarrassed that I’d never heard of the doctor and that I doubted, with all due respect, that any connection I’d made in my career could match building Harpo Studios for Oprah Winfrey. Nick forgave my ignorance. He told me he knew I’d change my tune after meeting Patrick. So I agreed purely on the recommendation of Nick to meet Dr. Flanagan.
Wow. Nick, who sadly passed away in 2015, could not have been more right. Pat and I hit it off instantly and he became the biggest backer of the Antarctica project. In return I agreed to film Pat in Chichen Itza, where he was speaking at a celebration of the end of the Mayan Calendar, on my way home from Antarctica. I let Nick know afterwards that I he was right. Pat is so bright he transcends GENIUS. Yes, even one as great as Oprah.
But frankly, I might have not taken on the Chichen Itza assignment if I knew the daunting task I faced to make it all the way up from Antarctica in time to film Dr. Flanagan. After an ATM swallowed my only debit card tied to the Indiegogo that funded the entire Antarctica adventure, I traveled three days with only some cash a kind person named Michael had gifted me when they saw my ATM nightmare happen. After a series of long layovers without enough money for food, my only sleep on planes and in airports, I made it to Cancun.
But my travel troubles were not over. Through no fault of Pat’s, the poorly organized event that promised to pick me up by limo in Cancun never showed. Unfortunately, neither Nick nor Pat could be raised on the cell phone. Desperate to keep my filming promise, I improvised and bartered away my luggage and clothing to make the hot and bumpy 70 mile taxi ride. Broke and badly dehydrated, I arrived just in time in Chichen Itza to film Pat giving his speech to the enthralled Chichen Itza crowd.
My brother Western Unioned me the cash I needed to get home and I arrived back in LA with only my camera gear and the clothes on my back. But it was worth it because Patrick was impressed I’d kept my word at great personal expense. A few weeks back in the LA grind I pitched Pat about making a 50-video web series about all his great products I was learning about. Genius that he is, he surprised me and made the decision right on the phone call, inviting me back to Sedona to film the web series that introduces a whole new generation of fans to Patrick.
My lucky stars and spirit guides had dropped me into the most exciting project of my 20 years as a filmmaker. Pat, a certified genius who had been featured in LIFE MAGAZINE at only age 17 as one of the world’s most promising young scientists, I’d soon learn has a huge global fan base. Co-starring his amazing wife Stephanie, the three of us birthed a 25 million views web series I dubbed THE FLANAGAN EXPERIMENTS.
2015 Limited Edition NEO Neurophone
This success would propel me into creating an Indiegogo for Pat that would sell 5,000 brain boosting devices and raise $1.6 million for Patrick’s NEO (Neural Efficiency Optimizer) Neurophone development. Unfortunately, the NEO project stopped after Patrick suffered a series of mini-strokes in 2015 and has yet to resume. But we hope to soon offer a update NF3 version from Pat’s German maker soon. Stay tuned on the email list. These are incredibly popular and will sell out fast.
In January of 2019, as tribute to the doctor and all he and his wife have done as my patrons, I curated all 50 videos and edited them into a theatrical feature film that sold-out a special screening of THE SEDONA FILM FESTIVAL. Pat’s amazing life story also wowed the crowd at the 2019 New Living expo. That new 2019 film can be watched here as free gift for joining our CTE email list using the free movie ticket tab to the right and top of this page. Email me at help@coolesttechever.com if you are already list member and want to see the movie for free.
Over the busy 7 years that have flown by since that magical 2012 introduction by Nick Edwards, Patrick and Stephanie have generously allowed me to market the gorgeous Sensor V medallion and other PhiSciences products to support my planetary meditation filming. As we have discovered more incredible life-enhancing technologies, our success with Dr. Flanagan opened doors to offer products from other greats of spirit science like sound healer Jonathan Goldman, Jason Stiles and iTorus, Mark Langford’s Blushield EMF protection, and others. Coolest Tech Ever has become a funder for our conscious film projects, planetary meditation and our peaceful mission to bring more harmony to mankind.
Ken & Elizabeth, CoolestMeditationEver.com Team

Here’s our newest addition to the CTE family: The Best Portable Hydration Device Out There!
Editors’s Note: Reprinted from European GeoSciences Blog. Original article at: https://blogs.egu.eu/geolog/2013/10/28/imaggeo-on-mondays-the-names-bond-hydrogen-bond/. This article sheds light on the activity of hydrogen when introduced into the body through supplementation. Hydrogen will scavenge dangerous free radicals of oxygen and turn them into more water for the body, a very good thing. This is why we love hydrogen boosting products for better health, like MegaHydrate and the HydroGO+.
Imaggeo on Mondays: The name’s Bond. Hydrogen bond.
The O in H2O attracts electrons towards it, a property known as electronegativity. And because oxygen attracts electrons towards it, it is ever so slightly positive. Likewise, the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule are ever so slightly negative. The difference in charge across a water molecule is what holds water together as the slightly positive hydrogen atoms are attracted towards the slightly negative oxygen atoms – a phenomenon known as hydrogen bonding.
Water molecules are drawn together by hydrogen bonding – attraction between negative hydrogen atoms and positive oxygen atoms. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons user Qwerter)
Hydrogen bonding is what gives water its adhesive and cohesive properties, allowing water to form thin films as it spreads of smooth surfaces (adhesion), and stick together (cohesion) as droplets, that can fall as rain, collect on the surface of a leaf, or obscure your hand lens as you try your best to do fieldwork in bad weather.

This photo by Jacqueline Gisen captures the cohesive nature of water. She explains that “cohesive forces make water molecules to attracted to each other from every direction,” but because the water’s surface is exposed to the atmosphere (where there is relatively few water molecules) it can only be pulled down towards the rest of the fluid. This creates surface tension, responsible for the bouncing droplets you see when one source of water pours into another.
Imaggeo is the EGU’s open access geosciences image repository. A new and improved Imaggeo site will be launching soon, so you will be able to peruse an even better database of visually stunning geoscience images.

Editor’s Note: This is a simple explanation of the different natures of hydrogen and how it reacts with oxygen. Note that H2 ‘is the antioxidant in hydrogen-rich water.’ The measure of pH is derived from the presence of H+ in a substance.
Distinguishing between these different forms of Hydrogen can be confusing to those of us who flunked high school chemistry. Here is an attempt at clarification.
H = Atomic Hydrogen Atomic hydrogen is number 1 on the Periodic Table of Elements. It consists of one proton and one unpaired electron which means that it is a free radical.
However an atom of hydrogen rarely exists on its own because its unpaired electron eagerly seeks to join up with another electron.
The molecular form of hydrogen is more common.
H2 = Molecular Hydrogen
H2 is a gas which forms when two hydrogen atoms bond together and become a hydrogen molecule. H2 is also called molecular hydrogen.It consists of two protons and two electrons. Consequently it is the most common form of Hydrogen because it is stable with a neutral charge. H2 is not a free radical. It is the antioxidant in ‘hydrogen-rich’ water.
H2 is the smallest molecule in the universe. That means it can go where nothing else can …including into your mitochondria which are the powerhouses of your cells. Hydrogen gas cannot be kept in plastic because it will pass right through the walls of the container.
H+ = Proton
When the Hydrogen atom loses an electron all that is left is a proton. It becomes the positively charged hydrogen ion known as H+. This is the form of Hydrogen that produces the ATP enzyme that powers our cells and mitochondria.
The H+ hydrogen ion is the basis of the pH scale.
H:– = Hydride
Hydride is a hydrogen atom which has an extra electron. This means that it is a negatively charged ion, or anion. That is why Hydride ion (H-) has the minus sign distinguishing it from a regular Hydrogen atom (H). The two dots after the H means that this ion has two electrons instead of just one. The extra electron means that H- is not a free radical however it is not stable because this form of hydrogen is a very strong base (extremely alkaline) which reacts with water to produce hydroxide (OH–and molecular hydrogen (H2).
H:– + H2O –> H2O + OH–
Hydride (H:– ) also reacts with metals to form chemical compounds which are reducing agents.
OH– = Hydroxide ion
Hydroxide (OH–) is also known as the hydroxyl ion. When water dissociates or comes apart into its component parts it forms OH– (hydroxide ions) and H3O+ (hydronium ions). 2H2O ⇆ OH– and H3O+
This reaction is reversible. The hydroxide ion also reacts with the hydronium ion (H3O+) to become two water molecules.
The Hydroxide ion (OH– ) is a base (alkaline). The Hydroxide ion is not a free radical or an antioxidant. Dissolved molecular hydrogen gas (H2) is the antioxidant in ‘hydrogen-rich’ water.
Hydroxide (OH–) is sometimes confused with the hydroxyl radical (OH•). The dot to the upper right of the OH indicates an unpaired electron which means that Hydroxyl is a free radical, actually one of the most reactive oxygen radicals. Hydroxide and Hydroxl are two entirely different species. It is important to not confuse them.
H3O+ = Hydronium ion
A water molecule (H20) plus a hydrogen ion (H+) becomes a hydronium ion (H3O+). The H+ ion is a lone proton with a powerful charge. It does not exist on its own in an aqueous solution because it is immediately attracted to the unshared electrons in the oxygen atom of H2O. The result is Hydronium (H3O+). This process is reversible. Two water molecules can disassociate to form hydronium plus hydroxide. 2H2O ⇆ OH– and H3O+
Experiments indicate that the proton (H+) is very promiscuous. It changes from one H2O partner to another many times per second creating a new H3O+ ion as it moves.
pH = Potential of Hydrogen
pH stands for potential of Hydrogen and is actually a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. Water breaks down (dissociates) into protons (H+) and hydroxides (OH–). This reaction is reversible.
H2O ⇆ H+ and OH– 2H2O ⇆ OH– and H3O+
pH indicates whether water is acidic, neutral, or alkaline. More H+ = more acidic. Less H+ = more alkaline.
Because H+ immediately associates with H2O to form H3O+ (Hydronium), pH can also be said to be a measurement of the concentration of H3O+ in a solution.
The pH scale is logarithmic. Increasing by 1 on the pH scale results in a 10 times decrease in the hydronium ion concentration and increasing by 3 on the pH scale results in a 1,000 times decrease in the hydronium ion concentration.
