Biophoton Detection Technology: Measuring the Light Your Body Emits
At this very moment, as you read these words, your body is emitting light. Not metaphorical light.
Brain Biophotons Detected: The Human Brain Emits Light
In May 2025, researchers at the University of Calgary published a landmark paper in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters reporting the first detection of biophotons emitted by the living human brain from outside the skull. Using ultra-sensitive single-photon detectors cooled to near...
Ten Mind-Blowing Brain Discoveries of 2025: A Synthesis
The year 2025 may be remembered as the year consciousness science crossed from philosophical speculation into engineering-grade empirical investigation. Inspired by Scientific American's tradition of year-end discovery roundups, this synthesis examines the ten most consequential brain and...
The Golden Ratio in DNA: Fractal Antennas, Emotional Braiding, and the Geometry of Life's Code
When James Watson and Francis Crick published the structure of DNA in 1953, they described a double helix with specific measurements: 34 angstroms per full turn, 21 angstroms in diameter. They noted these numbers as geometric facts.
The Consciousness Bridge: How Eastern Medicine IS Consciousness Medicine
Here is the thread that connects everything — the insight that changes how you read every acupuncture point chart, every dosha description, every meridian map. Eastern medicine systems were never primarily about treating physical symptoms.
Plants as Teachers: The Shamanic Science of Botanical Intelligence
Here is a question that has haunted me for years: How did indigenous people in the Amazon, with no laboratories, no chemistry, no peer review, figure out that combining the bark of one specific vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) with the leaves of one specific shrub (Psychotria viridis) — out of...
Translate Shamanic Healing for Science
Welcome back to the Deep Dive. So today you brought us to, I think, one of the most fascinating and
Biofield and EMF Interaction: The Signal-to-Noise Problem of Living in an Electromagnetic Soup
Before we can understand how external electromagnetic fields (EMF) interfere with biological function, we need to establish a fact that mainstream biology has been slow to embrace but that physics has never disputed: the human body generates, transmits, and receives electromagnetic signals as a...
Biofield Science and Research: The Electromagnetic Body
Every living organism generates electromagnetic fields. The human heart produces an electrical field measurable by electrocardiogram (ECG) from meters away.
Fritz-Albert Popp: The Light Inside Living Cells
In 1975, Fritz-Albert Popp was a theoretical biophysicist at the University of Marburg in Germany, investigating the carcinogenic properties of certain chemical compounds. He was studying benz[a]pyrene, a potent carcinogen found in coal tar, cigarette smoke, and grilled meat, when he made an...
Harold Saxton Burr: The Yale Professor Who Discovered the Electric Blueprint of Life
In the 1930s, at a time when molecular biology was in its infancy and the structure of DNA was still decades from discovery, a professor of anatomy at Yale University School of Medicine was making measurements that, had they been taken seriously, might have redirected the entire trajectory of...
Itzhak Bentov: The Engineer Who Found Consciousness in the Pendulum
Most people who investigate consciousness come from one of two backgrounds: they are mystics seeking scientific validation, or scientists reluctantly confronting anomalous data. Itzhak Bentov was neither.
Mae-Wan Ho: The Organism as a Liquid Crystal Rainbow
In 1993, Mae-Wan Ho pointed a polarizing microscope at a living fruit fly larva and saw something that should not have been possible according to conventional biology. The entire organism glowed with brilliant, iridescent colors -- like a living rainbow.
Vedic Cosmology and Modern Physics: How Ancient India Mapped the Architecture of Reality
In 1935, Erwin Schrodinger — the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who formulated the wave equation that describes quantum mechanical behavior — gave a lecture at the University of Cambridge in which he described his intellectual debt to Vedantic philosophy. "This life of yours which you are living...
Energy Medicine & Biofield Therapies: The Evidence Base
Every living cell in your body is a tiny battery. The membrane potential of a healthy cell sits at approximately -70 millivolts — a voltage differential maintained by ion pumps consuming roughly 30% of your total ATP production.
Biophotons: Your Body Is a Light-Emitting Organism and DNA Is the Antenna
As you read these words, your body is emitting light. Not heat radiation — that is infrared, and every warm object emits it.
The Science of Prayer, Intention, and Healing
In the coronary care unit of San Francisco General Hospital in 1988, 393 patients were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received standard medical care.
