Luminescence research and its relation to ultraweak cell radiation

Abstract

The fundamental laws of photochemistry and the essential results of experimental research on ultraweak cell radiation are presented. By comparing all the facts it can be concluded that the phenomena discussed may arise from a variety of possible reactions and sources. Recombination reactions of certain radicals actually do release sufficient energy to generate UV-photons of the intensity under consideration. On the other hand, stimulated emission cannot be excluded in view of the distinct deviation of the radiation field from thermal equilibrium. There exist, however, various other candidates, such as direct emitters like flavins, indoles, porphyrins, carbonyl derivatives and aromatic compounds, and molecular oxygen and its various species, as well as collective molecular interactions, e.g. dimole or exciplex transitions, triplet-triplet annihilation, collective hydrolysis, electric field effects in membranes, etc. Careful biochemical and biophysical experiments are still necessary to find answers to all the questions that remain; not only individual problems have to be solved, but it is important to keep in mind the interrelationships between certain reactions.

Multi-Site Recording and Spectral Analysis of Spontaneous Photon Emission from Human Body

“…The signal-noise ratio was improved by cooling the photomultiplier, consequently, photon count rates of very few photons / (s × cm 2 ) and depending on body location could be achieved [3]. Such low values corresponded with earlier publications on UPE from specific isolated animal tissues and organs [4][5][6][7]. Recording of UPE directly from the body was non-invasive providing continuous and convenient monitoring.…”

Phosphene perception is due to the ultra-weak photon emission produced in various parts of the visual system: glutamate in the focus

“…According to Thar and Kühl (2004), the real photon intensity inside cells can be drastically higher than one would expect from the measurements on ultra-weak bioluminescence, which is usually measured some centimeters apart from the cells. It is a known fact that photons are strongly scattered and absorbed in cellular systems; there are estimations for a given measured intensity of the UPE that the corresponding intensity of biophotons within the organism or cell can even be two orders of magnitude higher than measured (Cilento, 1988;Slawinski, 1988). Recent experiments by support our notion that externally measured UPE from cells and neurons is principally produced from natural oxidation processes on the surfaces of cellular membranes and the real intensity of photon emission can be fundamentally higher inside cells (e.g.…”

Classical analysis of time behavior of radiation fields associated with biophoton signals

“…The real intensity of the biophotons within an organ is estimated to be up to two orders of magnitude higher than the intensity of the measured bioluminescence [34,35]. The positioning of relative locations of different nucleic acids both within and between cells can be executed out using entangled biophotons, providing the potential resources for quantum coherence in a biological system, needed as a basic mechanism for quantum bio-computing [20].…”
