the way of sort of understanding black body radiation in terms of discrete photons. I mean, that's a weird story because Planck, people had wondered, why do things get more random? And they kept on saying, to get randomness, you have to have some magic source of randomness. So Planck's idea was that infrared radiation, radiative heat, would be sort of the magic source of randomness that would sort of produce heat in everything and lead to that randomness.

>> The electron's angular momentum, sort of its orbital spin quantity, could only be integer multiples of a specific value. H2I, right? >> Planck's constant divided by 2 pi. >> A very specific mathematical condition. >> Very specific. And the incredible thing when you applied that rule, the allowed energy levels it predicted perfectly matched the actual colors, the spectral lines that scientists observed when hydrogen gas was excited. >> Wow. So the math, even though it seemed arbitrary, matched reality exactly. >> Exactly. It was a stunning success. It show…

People have forgotten the basic physics of light. I have not. I have been leading you up this very fundamental issue. The frequency of light is directly linked to the color of light by its physics. E=hv is that equation. ***It turns out that life pays deep attention to this relationship, even though medicine and biology do not today.*** Humans can see things, but they do not observe nature’s mechanism well because they are quantized in action. Biologists and physicians do not learn quantum physics. That must change too. The eye cannot see what the mind does not know. This is why we have the cu…

I believe this is why it’s colder and darker inside the Sun, as opposed to the surface temperatures. These anomalies need to be resolved. I believe we will find out the same thing is true about mitochondria eventually too. All fusion reactions are believed to occur in the sun, takes place near the photosphere. It is here, where massive electrical arcs come into contact with free ionized hydrogen particles. These hydrogen ions are high energy particles. I have a sense that the same thing happens in mitochondria, but with low energy H+ ions. ***Physicists tells us that the small quantum world do…

For example, Bohr writes in 1921, Thus according to this theory of light quanta, electromagnetic radiation from an atom should not spread as a system of spherical waves, but should be propagated in a definite direction as a concentrated entity, containing within a very small volume the energy \(h\nu\). On one hand such a conception seems to offer the only simple possibility of accounting for the phenomena of photoelectric action, if we adhere to an unrestricted application of the notions of conservation of energy and momentum. On the other hand, it does not appear reconcilable with the phenome…

Well, those properties are exactly the same properties that we have, When we. Consider our own. Inner experience. My inner experience is private. Can only be known by me. By me is not. The body in this case. Means the field. Because if I wear the body, my state, like the state of a computer, can be copied right? But, we are not the body. We are a feel controlling the body in this new theory. So. And it is the feel that we are that has this crazy properties. Also, what I can say. About what I. Feel is only a small part of what I feel. The same thing that happens in a quantum field. The other th…

The phenomenon of ultraweak photon emission from living systems was further investigated in order to elucidate the physical properties of this radiation and its possible source. We obtained evidence that the light has a high degree of coherence because of (1) its photon count statistics, (2) its spectral distribution, (3) its decay behavior after exposure to light illumination, and (4) its transparency through optically thick materials. Moreover, DNA is apparently at least an important source, since conformational changes induced with ethidium bromide in vivo are clearly reflected by changes o…

Why would nature use statistical laws for heat and motion? We know heat is released from our mitochondria and we know motion is a critical part of exercise. Might geometry some how link physics to biology? Is the next level in our understanding of nature built on statistics in some way? Are the cornerstones of life built to work by PROBABILITIES? Do these probabilities form the principles of the upwelling of energy flows in all living things? Quantum computers, like your brain and body work at a scale most cannot fathom using tremendous amounts of possibilities to solve problem in femtoseconds…

He got the Nobel Prize for predicting the photon, rather than for the Theory of Relativity, which was still controversial at that time. So he predicted the photons, based on actually fairly complicated thermodynamic statistical mechanics arguments. But one way to understand it is in terms of what's called the photoelectric effect. If you take a metal and you say "Where are the electrons in the metal?" As you know most electrons are orbiting the parent nucleus. But in a metal, some electrons are communal. Each atom donates one or two electrons to the whole metal. They can run all over the metal…

What if if you took a powerful microscope and you looked into the heart of matter and you didn't find a swarm of little dots, but you found a swarm of little vibrating filaments. And the motivation for that came from the fact that with that move, the tension between quantum mechanics and general relativity went away. Mhm. That little tiny move from dot to filament was what you needed for the mathematics of these two theories to harmoniously meld together. So if this picture is correct, the electron would be a little vibrating filament and the quirks, they would be little vibrating filaments an…

To find the odds, we take the photon's wavelength and we form this wave, and then we form the interference pattern. And we find out that whenever it is high, it is very likely to come. Wherever it's low, it's very unlikely, but at 0, it won't come. So to test this theory, it's not enough to send 1 photon. 1 photon may come here; that doesn't show you anything. You've got to send millions of photons, because if a prediction is probabilistic, to test it, you've got to do many times. If I give you a coin, and I tell you it's a fair coin, I toss it a couple of times and I get 1 head and 1 tail, it…
