In the Norse mythology, Svalinn is the cosmic shield put by the gods between Earth and the Sun, keeping the mountains and valleys from burning, the sea from boiling, and protecting our planet from the violent relentless charge of its star. It is the first mention in human history of the magnetic field and ozone layer that protects the earth. A thousand years earlier than modern science discovered it.
“In front of the sun does Svalinn stand, The shield for the shining god; Mountains and sea would be set in flames if it fell from before the sun.”
