Re: [RC] Huh?//Cellular Communication and Quantum Physics (andEndurance) - Beverley H. Kane, MDTruman, How thrilling that you're a student of Candace Pert and quantum theory as it relates to cellular processes. There is a circle of us bioscientists and physicists here in Silicon Valley that meets regularly, salon style, to discuss these issues and possibilities. To keep this endurance related, I commend to you et al the work of Michael Murphy (founder of Esalen and the human potentials movement) whose minum opus, "Jacob Atabet," and magnum opus "The Future of the Body," which address peak, almost supernatural, performance in athletes. ("Jacob" changed my life more than any other single influence---it propelled me into sports medicine, w/ emphasis on sports psychology and paranormal performance.) Among other things, Murphy describes "hanging," a phenomenon that several people on ridecamp have reported wrt their big trot horses, and on which that prestigious peer-reviewed journal, Sports Illustrated, did an article, in relation to hangers among basketball greats. Murphy is responsible directly or indirectly for the Tim Gallwey and others "Inner Game of..." books. Murphy takes the idea of visualization and other sports psychology techniques down to the cellular level. There are others of us who take these techniques down to the atomic level, describing the process of visualization in terms of collapsing the wave function. Visualize Top Ten. Visualize whirled peas. Beverley...whose old sig file was: ------------ Schrödinger's wave equation means never having to say you're sorry.

Why do cells do what they do when they do it and how do they communicate. It really got started when Candace Perth discovered the opiate receptor while at Hopkins. During her work she spent a lot of time in the physics/math departments trying to understand how we dealt and modeled the "spooky action at a distance" that some seem to think is part of quantum physics. Since my area at that time was the mathematics associated with quantum field theory I took great interest in her work. There are some amazing similarities between the way particles at the quantum level "communicate" and the way receptors communicate. In physics certain particles have been renamed to reflect this. The photon (particle of light) is know to be the messenger particle for the electromagnetic force. When two electrons repel one another for example they trade photons in the process to communicate the force. Same for when a proton and an electron attract. The strong nuclear force has it own messenger particle (gulon) as does the weak nuclear force which has two (Z and W bosons). Even gravity has its own - the graviton. While this all sounds absurd - many know phenomenon that were difficult to explain - became crystal clear. It just works to explain how the world works. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graviton has a good lay discussion of the graviton and messenger particles. Perth popularized her work in lay terms in a book called "Molecules of Emotion." She I believe is at Georgetown Medical School now. _____________________________________ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
