Quantum Basis of Bioenergetics Discovered in Plants

Is Quantum Mechanics Controlling Your Thoughts?

Quantum mechanics holds that any given particle has a chance of being in a whole range of locations and, in a sense, occupies all those places at once. Physicists describe quantum reality in an equation they call the wave function, which reflects all the potential ways a system can evolve. Until a scientist measures the system, a particle exists in its multitude of locations. But at the time of measurement, the particle has to “choose” just a single spot. At that point, quantum physicists say, probability narrows to a single outcome and the wave function “collapses,” sending ripples of certainty through space-time. Imposing certainty on one particle could alter the characteristics of any others it has been connected with, even if those particles are now light-years away. (This process of influence at a distance is what physicists call entanglement.) As in a game of dominoes, alteration of one particle affects the next one, and so on.

The implications of all this are mind-bending. In the macro world, a ball never spontaneously shoots itself over a wall. In the quantum world, though, an electron in one biomolecule might hop to a second biomolecule, even though classical laws of physics hold that the electrons are too tightly bound to leave. The phenomenon of hopping across seemingly forbidden gaps is called quantum tunneling.

From tunneling to entanglement, the special properties of the quantum realm allow events to unfold at speeds and efficiencies that would be unachievable with classical physics alone. Could quantum mechanisms be driving some of the most elegant and inexplicable processes of life? For years experts doubted it: Quantum phenomena typically reveal themselves only in lab settings, in vacuum chambers chilled to near absolute zero. Biological systems are warm and wet. Most researchers thought the thermal noise of life would drown out any quantum weirdness that might rear its head.

Yet new experiments keep finding quan­­tum processes at play in biological systems, says Christopher Altman, a researcher at the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience in the Netherlands. With the advent of powerful new tools like femtosecond (10-15 second) lasers and nanoscale-precision positioning, life’s quantum dance is finally coming into view.

INTO THE LIGHT
One of the most significant quantum observations in the life sciences comes from Fleming and his collaborators. Their study of photosynthesis in green sulfur bacteria, published in 2007 in Nature [subscription required], tracked the detailed chemical steps that allow plants to harness sunlight and use it to convert simple raw materials into the oxygen we breathe and the carbohydrates we eat. Specifically, the team examined the protein scaffold connecting the bacteria’s external solar collectors, called the chlorosome, to reaction centers deep inside the cells. Unlike electric power lines, which lose as much as 20 percent of energy in transmission, these bacteria transmit energy at a staggering efficiency rate of 95 percent or better.

The secret, Fleming and his colleagues found, is quantum physics.

To unearth the bacteria’s inner workings, the researchers zapped the connective proteins with multiple ultrafast laser pulses. Over a span of femto­seconds, they followed the light energy through the scaffolding to the cellular reaction centers where energy conversion takes place.

Then came the revelation: Instead of haphazardly moving from one connective channel to the next, as might be seen in classical physics, energy traveled in several directions at the same time. The researchers theorized that only when the energy had reached the end of the series of connections could an efficient pathway retroactively be found. At that point, the quantum process collapsed, and the electrons’ energy followed that single, most effective path.

(An equivalent process maybe happening in the brain. During a thought, our neural patterns fire in many areas of the brain while looking for a path of least resistance. Please see fMRI Neuroscience Advances in Mind Reading Scans)

Electrons moving through a leaf or a green sulfur bacterial bloom are effectively performing a quantum “random walk”—a sort of primitive quantum computation—to seek out the optimum transmission route for the solar energy they carry. “We have shown that this quantum random-walk stuff really exists,” Fleming says. “Have we absolutely demonstrated that it improves the efficiency? Not yet. But that’s our conjecture. And a lot of people agree with it…”

QUANTUM TO THE CORE
Stuart Hameroff, an anesthesiologist and director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, argues that the highest function of life—consciousness—is likely a quantum phenomenon too (so that’s where it started with Hameroff!). This is illustrated, he says, through anesthetics. The brain of a patient under anesthesia continues to operate actively, but without a conscious mind at work. What enables anesthetics such as xenon or isoflurane gas to switch off the conscious mind?

Hameroff speculates that anesthetics “interrupt a delicate quantum process” within the neurons of the brain. Each neuron contains hundreds of long, cylindrical protein structures, called microtubules, that serve as scaffolding. Anesthetics, Hameroff says, dissolve inside tiny oily regions of the microtubules, affecting how some electrons inside these regions behave.

He speculates that the action unfolds like this: When certain key electrons are in one “place,” call it to the “left,” part of the microtubule is squashed; when the electrons fall to the “right,” the section is elongated. But the laws of quantum mechanics allow for electrons to be both “left” and “right” at the same time, and thus for the micro­tubules to be both elongated and squashed at once. Each section of the constantly shifting system has an impact on other sections, potentially via quantum entanglement, leading to a dynamic quantum-mechanical dance.

It is in this faster-than-light subatomic communication, Hameroff says, that consciousness is born. Anesthetics get in the way of the dancing electrons and stop the gyration at its quantum-mechanical core; that is how they are able to switch consciousness off.

It is still a long way from Hameroff’s hypo­thetical (and experimentally unproven) quantum neurons to a sentient, conscious human brain. But many human experiences, Hameroff says, from dreams to subconscious emotions to fuzzy memory, seem closer to the Alice in Wonderland rules governing the quantum world than to the cut-and-dried reality that classical physics suggests. Discovering a quantum portal within every neuron in your head might be the ultimate trip through the looking glass.

Modafinil and Higher Learning Don’t Mix

I know what you’re going to say, “Everybody does it… If you don’t do it, you’re not with it… Everyone needs a pick me up…” on and on and on. Why don’t you admit it? You’re taking drugs to keep you on track because this is all you know. Drugs is all your peers know. And your so-called teachers don’t really care how you keep up with your studies, just “Keep it up, or FAIL!”

Here’s a little article on modafinil that alerts us to the harsh realities of “higher learning:”

Students and academics turn to drugs

More people use cognitive-enhancing drugs to cope with busy lives, says journal study

With the ever increasing pace of everyday life, more people are turning to cognitive enhancing drugs to stay on top, according to a report in a scientific journal.

The controversial report, published in Nature last month, spoke of the widening use of drugs such as Ritalin, Adderal and Modafinil amongst sportsmen, students and academics.

In an informal survey, Barbara Sahakian, professor of neuropsychology at Cambridge and author of the report, found a number of colleagues to be using Modafinil as a means of fighting off jet lag, improving their academic performance and aiding their social ease at parties.

Modafinil is generally prescribed to counter the symptoms of Narcolepsy. When taken by otherwise healthy people, it is also found to stave off fatigue and improve concentration and short-term memory.

The drug is only available on prescription, though it can be bought online. Its use without a prescription is illegal.
It has become the favourite of academics because the side effects are relatively mild when compared with other “smart” drugs.

Side effects include the occasional headache, the odd bout of diarrhoea, a touch of nausea perhaps; not particularly ailments you want to get at a party, but nonetheless gentle compared with the potential heart problems, strokes or tumours that can occur from drugs like Ritalin.

As a relatively new drug, approved in the UK in 2002, the long-term effects of Modafinil are still unknown. The drug is stocked by the army to keep combat troops alert.

One Robinson student, who wished to remain anonymous, told Varsity: “I’ve tried Modafinil a couple of times. With the Cambridge workload I frequently have to stay up until the early hours to reach deadlines.

“It definitely made me focus on what I was doing but I don’t think my essay was any the better for it.”

The report has sparked a debate as to whether the drug should be made available over-the-counter.

The director of the Institute for Science, Ethics and Innovation at the University of Manchester, John Harris, has said that the government should “seriously consider” making such drugs available to students without a prescription.

Can I take a moment with you? I want to tell you how disappointed I am that this entire system of higher learning is suffering from scientific cretinism. Are we so backwards as a race that these officials of higher learning want to get generations of people hooked on drugs?

What are the alternatives? What are the alternatives? OK. Since you’re here, you obviously want to learn. If school counselors really cared about kids’ health and well being, they would recommend natural alternatives to increase attention, focus, and learning capabilities. They would not recommend drugs that cause the odd bout of diarrhoea, nausea, potential heart problems, strokes, tumours, or any other side effects.

Please have a look at the Nutrition Spectrum Site. Here, you will find articles on brain solutions - 11 steps to a better brain and Ear Solutions because it turns out that these solutions also work to increase the capacity of the brain. All the solutions at Nutrition Spectrum are essential nutrients with no side effects. There are more energetic solutions available through Bioenergetic Spectrum, but the essential nutrients are most practical for students since they tend to be strapped for cash.

There are also other solutions like acupressure which you can apply to yourself any time. One in particular that can be used is pericardium 8 on either hand which I discuss at Keys to Qigong. You can also see me in the video below where I utilise pericardium 8 to help induce focus in my audience:






Yet another energy exercise that I remember from Stewart Swerdlow’s Healer’s Handbook is to form a cone with all the fingers one hand, then hold the point of this “cone” against the base of your skull with deep breaths. This exercise helps balance and focus energies at your optical cortex to help you focus and stay awake.

I hope this helps you and your friends to stay away from drugs. I don’t want to see us turn into a THX1138 society.

Poison Alert on Working Environment: Dangers of Lead

Lead Triggers Cognitive Impairment in Later Life

By Rick Nauert, Ph.D.
Senior News Editor

Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on January 13, 2009

Tuesday, Jan 13 (Psych Central) — Lead Triggers Cognitive Impairment in Later LifeA new study finds that the aging brain can suffer from cumulative lead exposure. Researchers have known for years that the developing brain is suspect to lead exposure; the new findings suggest a buildup of lead from earlier exposure may be enough to result in greater cognitive problems after age 55.

Study authors from the Graduate School of Public Health and the School of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh report that cognitive problems were linked to cumulative exposure.

The researchers followed up on the 1982 Lead Occupational Study, which assessed the cognitive abilities of 288 lead-exposed and 181 non-exposed male workers in eastern Pennsylvania. The lead-exposed workers came from three lead battery plants; the unexposed control workers made truck chassis at a nearby location.

At both points in time, all the workers were given the Pittsburgh Occupational Exposures Test battery, which includes measures of five primary cognitive domains: psychomotor speed, spatial function, executive function, general intelligence, and learning and memory.

In 1982, lead-exposed workers were found to have an average blood lead level of 40 micrograms per deciliter (ug/dL), well above normal. Pennsylvania workers found to have 25 ug/dL or more must be taken off the job. In 1982, the unexposed workers had an average blood level of 7.2, within normal limits.

In 2004, the current study followed up with 83 of the original lead-exposed workers and 51 of the original non-exposed workers.

Researchers measured current lead levels in their blood and cumulative lead levels through special X-rays of the tibia, or lower leg bone (bone is the final repository of circulating blood lead, where it has a half life of about 30 years).

Researchers also re-administered the test battery to assess cognitive performance relative to both measures of lead.

Among the lead-exposed workers, men with higher cumulative lead had significantly lower cognitive scores. The clearest inverse relationships – when one went up, the other went down – emerged between cumulative lead and spatial ability, learning and memory, and overall cognitive score.

This linkage was more significant in the older lead-exposed men, of at least age 55. Their cognitive scores were significantly different from those of younger lead-exposed men even when the researchers controlled for current blood levels of lead. In other words, even when men no longer worked at the battery plants, their earlier prolonged exposure was enough to matter.

The mild deficits, although not clinically significant, were consistent with other studies that show previous exposure to lead is, according to the authors, “particularly detrimental to the aging brain and that specific cognitive domains may be particularly vulnerable.”

Scientists have been investigating how lead damages the brain, especially the hippocampus and frontal cortex, seats of memory and learning. Lead exposure also puts people at greater risk for high blood pressure, which itself weakens cognition — one possible pathway by which lead can cause problems.

The men who built lead batteries were exposed to it in the air and through their skin. Other occupations, including semiconductor fabrication, ceramics, welding and soldering, and some construction work, also may expose workers.

The authors wrote that, “Increased prevention measures in work environments will be necessary to reduce [lead exposure] to zero and decrease risk of cognitive decline.”

The full report appears in the January issue of Neuropsychology, which is published by the American Psychological Association.

Hidden Bioenergetic Spectrum of Deep Space Aeroforms

In the book, “The Cosmic Pulse of Life: The Revolutionary Biological Power Behind UFOs,” Trevor James Constable provides solid proof of the hidden bioenergetic spectrum available to us. As living denizens of this planet, it’s difficult to deny the vast mysteries of all the different forms of life around this planet. Through his own pictureds taken in the infrared spectrum and experiments in which he asks us to wholeheartedly participate, we discover those secret realms available to use - as long as we remain objective.

Here’s an excerpt from the documentary, “UFO Greatest Story Ever Denied.” Shows some footage of (living) UFOs in space:

In spite of that news reporter’s pompous smile, who are we to deny every possibility of life in and around this planet?

I’m not sure what is so unusual about these living aeroforms to people, but they’re obviously extremophiles. We all know of the existence of extremophiles, so why would these living aeroforms be so much more unusual?

They’re very much like deep sea creatures. The “rods” and those round plasmoid aeroform types are similar to certain deep sea elysia and the jellyfish / octopus like fauna are a form of aerial cephalopods. Why would anyone deny their existence so adamantly? They’re another form of “deep sea” creature.

If you happen to find yourself at a mountain top or near high tension power lines, you can capture these plasmoid aeroforms on your digital camera. All you need is a full spectrum, hot filter conversion. Life Pixel does Digital Infrared conversions, but I recommend going with the full spectrum filter, since the “critters” are hiding on both sides of the spectrum according to the video you just saw.

If you’re into attracting these live aeroforms, Mr. Constable provides instructions for the “star exercise” in The Cosmic Pulse of Life. This way you can take some really excellent closeup shots of your new pet using a converted digital camera by Life Pixel.

Thanks for your time, Happy New Year!

UFOs in UK, US called ‘octopus, jellyfish, amoeba, cocoon, biological’

By Steve Hammons

Citizens in the UK and United States have reported similar large, glowing objects in the sky that have been described as looking like an “octopus,” “jellyfish,” “amoeba,” “cocoon” and having “a biological shape.”

The most recent case involves an investigation into damage to a wind turbine near Conisholme, England.

Around the time of the damage to the 213-foot-high wind turbine, a UFO was spotted that witnesses said had “tentacles of light,” the Guardian newspaper reported.

Local resident John Harrison said he witnessed a “massive ball of light with tentacles going right down to the ground” above a nearby wind turbine farm on Jan. 4, 2009. “It was huge. With the tentacles it looked just like an octopus,” he was quoted as saying by the UK newspaper The Sun.

This description is similar to that of a local law enforcement and public safety officer in the Stephenville, Texas, region who described a UFO he saw on police video in January 2008 as being like a “jellyfish….” (continues)
