Humanity has imperceptibly crossed the threshold into a new era: the conjectures of certain scientists, their reflections and cautious assumptions, at which colleagues once looked with skepticism, now take their rightful place in the overall picture of the world order amid ovations and recognition.
One such object of ridicule was the notion of the nature of biological matter as an electrical substance. A human being was under no circumstances to be imagined as electricity.
Not long ago, biochemistry textbooks explained the delivery of a needed fragment to the assembly site of a particular molecule in a cell by diffusion—that is, it was implied that billions of various components float chaotically in the cellular fluid, and when the right one "swims" near the assembly site, it joins the molecule. That is, in simple terms. The scientists themselves for a long time had a poor grasp of the actual mechanism, because studying such phenomena without disrupting the integrity of the cell and in isolation from the organism was difficult, and the phenomenon of diffusion was long used as a placeholder for poorly understood mechanisms.
If the "soup" in the cell itself is a multilayered interchange where substances move chaotically through space, collide and get tangled with one another, then how, out of billions of bricks, does the right little brick "know" that it must arrive at a specific place in the cell and become part of a molecule at the construction stage at high speed? That is a good question.
Over time, the phenomena of osmotic pressure in chemistry, electromagnetic waves and fields in physics, light pressure in optics, and electron density of the molecule in physical chemistry were studied more deeply… and the scientific community cautiously began to speak of matter as a space with certain electrical properties that creates within itself the conditions for the approach or repulsion of "substances."
"What does biology have to do with it?" you ask.
The thing is that all the observed smoothness and astonishing precision that we see in the biological processes of organisms for millennia is ensured by the fact that every "little brick" of matter possesses an electrical self-awareness, giving it an exact understanding of where it is, what is around it, and where it must move along the shortest trajectory toward the coveted "place of Love" at every micro-instant.
The electrical nature of Life gives every atom, every molecule, etc., its own unique portrait, its own unique traits, character and motives for acting, a "loving" affinity for certain elements and at the same time an avoidance of others.
Humankind has studied the phenomenon of electromagnetism well: now we understand that certain elements create quite evident fields of attraction and repulsion when it comes to metals, but how much time was needed to acknowledge these same principles for all the other elements and for matter of a higher organization!
The electromagnetic fields of individual atoms and substances work as modulators of the process of life.
"So what?" you ask.
The point is that these very fields are used by substances as a dedicated communication channel. In simple terms: a molecule simply "calls and asks" the needed little brick closest to it to arrive at the place of the "call." This is how all elements, substances, tissues and we ourselves, people, converse.
In the human body we constantly emit an enormous quantity of waves of various types. For example, thermal radiation or scent molecules also have their own oscillations, their own portrait, and we communicate to one another an enormous amount of such information, which we often process unconsciously in the background mode.
Everything has a wave nature. Scientists allow that certain phenomena are not fully unraveled in our understanding precisely because they are turned upside down: the first cause and the effects are not in the right order.
Now we, as humanity, are gently creeping toward lifting the taboo on topics in medicine and biology whose roots go back to electrical first causes that, less than 100 years ago, were concepts unworthy of a "respectable scientist." A good example: lithotherapy.
It is still considered that "stones" are the domain of esotericists, shamans, witches and other "manipulators," yet scientific research now regards the crystal lattices of minerals as literal lenses-converters of electrical/electromagnetic waves, changing their parameters when reflected from the crystal back into the medium. Thus, an infrared wave of heat from the body of a mammal, being converted in the mineral into another wave, is reflected back to the body from the surface of the mineral, and can "call" an organelle of the cell and say: "now we are focusing on another process / here the help of immune cells is required."
Some companies have already adapted this phenomenon in an applied sense; for example, some have created and sell weight-loss clothing with tourmaline powder, while others sell clothing with ceramic particles for recovery during sleep, during and after sports.
Scientists still have much work ahead of them in deciphering the "wave messages" of the active substances of plants, of the organic and inorganic traditional medicine of the peoples of the world, of food, sounds and music, scents, minerals, color, and light for the well-being of the human body and of living organisms as a whole.
We have arrived in the era of mass production of answers and solutions to the riddles of the Universe, the era of the discovery of information. Congratulations!
