The Nature of Science
Science is structured as a relationship between formal theoretical frameworks on the one hand and actual ‘reality’ on the other. A refinement of this idea will involve a separate ‘measurement domain’ for the Theory...
Towards a unified theory of physics and biology
Science is structured as a relationship between formal theoretical frameworks on the one hand and actual ‘reality’ on the other. A refinement of this idea will involve a separate ‘measurement domain’ for the Theory...
Nervous impulses seem to carry a great deal of information very efficiently with very little power supply and often from point to point as opposed to forming a complete circuit. This is inconsistent with...
Various researchers have given up on determining how blood flows around the circulatory system and have decided that whatever energetic motivation there is from the heart is insufficient to describe the total flow and...
Many diseases show striking seasonal patterns: Influenza Influenza admissions according to the CDC demonstrate a precise peak about 10 days before winter solstice. Why?Admissions precede the shortest day and cannot therefore be caused by...
There is no formal definition of ‘randomness’ within the field of mathematics and therefore none within theoretical physics. As far as practical physics is concerned then, there can be no quantitative study of randomness...
DNA formation – In his book Scalar waves, Konstantin Meyl presents a hypothesis concerning the formation of the double helix of DNA. Rather than a double helix forming simply out of the intrinsic properties...
In 1971 Joseph Hafele and Richard Keating arranged for two atomic clocks to be flown around the Earth in different directions. The Theory of Objectivity described by Konstantin Meyl gives better fit to the...
In 1901 in Calumet, Michigan, two vertical mine shafts were dug 1.5 km apart and 1.3 km deep. tunnel linking the bottom of the two shafts was constructed and its length was measured. Now...
The HART group response to the ‘no-virus’ argument proposes a model of disease that is, in its simplest form, one of ‘bottom-up’ causality from RNA molecule up to systemic level. This page proposes an...
The HART group gives some interesting arguments as to why they are rejecting the idea that viruses do not exist. One is a flawed statistical argument and others are observations of genome sequences. None...
Konstantin Meyl describes a Unified Field Theory that eluded Einstein. Relativity is hard to understand but Meyl is harder, lacking even the comforting ideas of foundational space and time upon which to anchor the...
A portion of a leaf can be cut off and will still be apparent when photographed using Kirlian photography techniques. The image is produced by electrical discharge when the leaf is subjected to a...
Several papers present data and arguments purporting to show a correlation between peaks in sunspot activity and pandemic levels of influenza. A crystal clear paper written by statistician Simon Towers shows that this is...
One of the mysteries of life is the question of how organic forms seem to absorb energy and information from the environment and sequester it permanently in an orderly fashion. This is seemingly in...
One of the conundrums of biology is the question of how the organism as a whole maintains global organisation when there does not appear to be any global plan or ‘map’. Some scientists are...
In order to explain the process of human evolution we need first to describe that which we are trying to explain, i.e. what it is that is evolving and which features of this need...
Attractors are abstract mathematical concepts that when plotted in 3-D graphics look rather pretty (right) and in biology represent structured patterns of behaviour that characterise all manner of life processes from heart rhythms to...
Miroslav Hill (1929-2018) performed an experiment whereby cellular cultures were subjected to toxins and were seen to develop resistance to these toxins over several generations. To his surprise he found that sibling cells in...
“The Restoration of Vitamin C Synthesis in Humans” (Levy) claims that we use much more vitamin C than we eat and that we are therefore making it in our bodies but in insufficient amounts....
The idea that we live in a ‘causal’ universe seems to be widely accepted and sits well with the model of Newtonian Physics. However, the idea is ill defined, seems to rule out free...
Biological organisation can be understood as an interlinked system of closed-loop control systems which can be characterised independently of the physical composition of the organs and molecules of which they are comprised. These systems...
The DNA delusion is the idea that a string of nucleic acids is responsible for almost all inherited features of an organism and moreover, that this is an established scientific theory supported by experimental...
A study of related molecular interactions found a modular collection of interconnected regulatory networks that could be used for diagnosis, characterisation and possibly treatment of disease. An inflammation network was considered to be instrumental...
This post will briefly describe the Barnsley Fern fractal and will suggest that something akin to this is actually suitable for genetic inheritance with the fern template being analogous to the genetic information and...
“Telegony is a scientific theory of heredity holding that offspring can inherit the characteristics of a previous mate of the female parent; thus the child of a woman might partake of traits of a...
There are many ways that cells can communicate with neighbouring cells but what about cells with which they have no physical contact?A mounting body of evidence suggests that this is in fact possible and...
John Campbell is a popular commentator on all things medical who is now starting to wake up to the various forms of medical fraud and incompetence.He still believes in the existence of viruses and...
The vitamin D system forms a complex, adaptive control system. where concentrations of 25(OH)D3 are tightly regulated by the body in order to buffer against a highly variable input and thereby deliver a controlled...
Stefan Lanka has said that the water inside the human body is ‘Pi water’. It is said to be a completely different substance to H2O ‘bulk water’ and he believes it to be the...
Many many tightly controlled experiments seem to demonstrate some sort of ability to transfer thoughts, predict the future or to manipulate decisions made weeks or even years in the past. This post suggests that...
