Without any evidence, it certainly sounds like sheer quackery as my biochemistry teacher would indicate. Although, it does appear that DNA is a good electromagnetic conductor via it's negatively charged phosphate back bone, and to some degree research has showed between the nitrogenous bases. It is coil-shaped or soliton shaped, and is thus subject to acoustic waves as well. Bio-photons are documented science, not particularly well however, and they aren't in many biology text books, but they are taken to be a phenomenon. Weither or not the DNA is a non-linear optical system, mainstream science is a long way off from knowing. It sounds like the phantom DNA effect, from a skeptics point of view, is probably due to some technical reading error with the machine. Perhaps it was a fluke with this one machine. It would have to be repeatable thousands of times before it could be called THE PHANTOM DNA EFFECT, as if it was official. That said a lot of weird and interesting research comes out of Russia. I love Russian science! Edited July 7, 2008 by Xienkula1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
