ASAP 9 : Introduction to Quantum Biology
Soon after the emergence and development of quantum physics in the early twentieth century, the possibility of applying these new rules of physics to the living cell was first suggested by Pascual Jordan (1902-1980) and a year later by Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961).
This was the beginning of the new field of science called Quantum Biology. At first, there was no interest in this phenomenon due to the general concept that quantum physics cannot be applied to the cramped, wet, and warm environment of the living cell. Also, the lack of the necessary tools to experiment with these quantum events in the living cell, contributed to it.
It was not until a few decades ago that the relevance of quantum physics in biology was reinvestigated and new tools were invented to verify these processes. Or at least unconcealed to the public. There are many discoveries in quantum biology in recent years that are now coming forward.
Advanced Support for the Ascension Process or ASAP is a category that will dive deeper into the dynamics of existence and it's processes!
There are many specific mechanisms within living cells that make use of the non-trivial features of quantum mechanics, such as coherence, superposition, tunnelling, and entanglement. These rules in the past were considered to be relevant only to subatomic levels and at temperatures near absolute zero.
It took 3.5 billion years for living systems to learn and manipulate the quantum systems for their benefit via optimizing evolution ( if you believe in the theory of evolution). We have only had two decades to study and learn about these fundamental processes of life. Which is not completely true if we take into account all of the hidden and censored documentation and research. And not to mention all of the opposing, disseminating everything as pseudo-science if it has anything to do with vibration, frequency or the aether!
Key features of quantum mechanics are the uncertainty principle, wave–particle duality, quantization of energies and the modification of classical probability laws. Biology is concerned with how natural systems function. From understanding how genetically coded information is replicated, to attaining a mechanistic model for complex multi-step reactions.
Recently researchers have been asking whether quantum mechanics, normally the domain of physics, is also needed to understand some biological processes. This field includes fascinating developments in theory and experiment, as well as multidisciplinary discussions. Especially when we know that cells, cellular vesicles and mitochondria communicate using electrical impulse coupling!
Erwin Schrodinger, in his famous book, What is Life? (Schrodinger, 1944), noted that quantum mechanics accounts for the stability of living things and their cellular processes because of our understanding, via quantum mechanics, of the stability and structure of molecules.
The fact that quantum effects create, sometimes large, energy gaps between different states of a chemical system is also important. Such energy gaps, between electronic energy levels, enable living organisms to capture and store the energy carried from the sun by photons, and to visualize the world around them via optically induced chemical reactions.
Davydov’s view in Biology and Quantum Mechanics (A. S. Davydov, 1982) was that quantum mechanics is most relevant for isolated systems in pure states and therefore is of little importance for biological systems that are in statistical states at thermal equilibrium.
If we set aside the fact that quantum mechanics is required to explain the properties of molecules and their reactions such as in biochemical processes ranging from the action of enzymes to genetic expression of phenotypes and the very construction of a living organism then quantum biology identifies biological phenomena that make explicit use of quantum mechanics to attain functionality or to carry out a process!
What?
Quantum Biology is mostly concerned with excited electronic states and their dynamics, long range tunnelling through barriers, interference effects and other abilities conferred to by quantum mechanics.
Okay, stay with me here. In 1962, Longuet-Higgins (Hugh Christopher Longuet-Higgins, 1923 - 2004) wrote in his paper entitled ‘Quantum mechanics and biology’ that quantum mechanics only helps us to understand a few biological processes that involve radiation (Longuet-Higgins, 1962).
Research since then has revealed that this rather conservative view is rapidly changing. Quantum phenomena in biological systems that require explicit reference to quantum theory abound. For example, the ‘energy wealth’ of a molecule defines the energy stored in quantum states, usually chemical bonds that can be transformed in reactions, thereby storing or releasing a quantum of energy.
There are several examples that are of importance for biology, including nucleoside phosphates (ATP), thioesters, imidazoles and others (Pullman and Pullman, 1963). The special properties of molecules such as quinones that are important in electron transport chains can also be attributed to their quantum mechanical energy gaps.
Here is where I want to stop for now and once again revisit Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)!
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency for cellular processes. ATP provides the energy for both energy-consuming endergonic reactions and energy-releasing exergonic reactions, which require a small input of activation energy. When the chemical bonds within ATP are broken, energy is released and can be harnessed for cellular work. The more bonds in a molecule, the more potential energy it contains. Because the bond in ATP is so easily broken and reformed, ATP is like a rechargeable battery that powers cellular process ranging from DNA replication to protein synthesis!
We talk quit a bit about ATP, Autophogy / Mitophogy and Mitochondrial Biogenesis for specific reasons of vitality while we undergo this Ascension Process, this Transmutational Process, this Morphogenetic Process! Alchemical Wizard 33 : Stimulating Autophagy for Mitochondrial Health!
Blessings Everyone as we continue with Vibrational Medicine modalities to inspire confidence as we unlock resources to make this Ascension shift more meliorative! One of the motivations for the emerging field of Quantum Biology is to elucidate new insights into biological function that may emerge from a quantum perspective!
We are Sovereign and We are most defiantly Freeing Ourselves! And Please Stay Hydrated as the SEP’S (Solar Energetic Particles) and Air Showers (Gamma chorus waves) continue until this adaptation to a higher frequency is completed!
