         Extraordinary Biology 
         
            Work of Australians Reed
        and Barsamian, and the American  G. Wilbanks 
            At the University of Sydney, Department of
        Obstetrics and Gynaecology, some magnificent work of great importance to
        our thesis has been accomplished.  Indeed, this Australian research
        may well be some of the most important work going on in the Western
        world today. 
            Dr. B. L. Reid, Dr. S. Barsamian, and their
        colleagues have produced experimental studies that positively verify
        pattern and form transmission at a distance, even through Faraday
        shielding.  They have directly shown the reaction to, and results
        of, an unexplored information field on both living cells and inert
        crystalline matter. 
            In addition, they have replicated -and extended
        -the published results of Kaznacheyev on the cytopathogenic effect. 
        In fact, they have obtained the effect at over 100 meters. 
            This shows, of course, that the effect is not just mesoscopic, but also
        macroscopic.  Whether we like it or not, structural patterns of cellular disease can positively be transmitted electromagnetically, and kindled in target cell structures at a distance. 
      Dr. Reid has been interested in the origins of cancer since at least 1958. 
        After much work in the standard models, by the late 1970's he was convinced that the present approach
        of medical science is wrong.  He reasoned that we should pay stricter attention to the nature of growth before examining new growth, i.e., cancer. 
        Growth, of course, is creation - and so the problem became, what is creation? 
     As a metaphor for biological growth to work with, he and his colleagues chose the growth of crystals. 
        With keen foresight and intuition, they directed their inquiry so as to expose the complicity of some force
        - if any - external to solute and solvent. 
     Their work began to show that such a force existed, and it was a type that was unaffected by interposition of a Faraday cage. 
        In other words, it was not a conventional electrical force. * 
         
*For one related possible scalar EM (electrogravitation) interaction, see
Ya. B. Zel'dovich, "Electromagnetic current and charge due to interaction between a gravitational and a free 
electromagnetic field,"  J. Exper. and Elec. Phy. (Soviet translation), 16(7),
Ocl. 5, 1972, p. 302-303.
          
        
     Dr. Reid and his colleagues then included biological subjects in the form
        of living cells.  They were familiar with Kaznacheyev's work in Alma Ata, Kazakstan on the subject of long range transmission of pathological (viral) effects on cells. 
        In addition, they were familiar with the seminal studies of Gurwitsch on transmissions by onion roots cells, in the 1920's. 
     Most of their basic studies on the nature of the new force, however, were made with common salt, drying from aqueous
        solution,  Some of their major results were as follows: 
        
          - The familiar cubic symmetry is altered toward a higher energy form of
          dendrite crystals when biopolymers such as protein are included in the solvent.
 
          - A mass of lead 12-20 kg in the crystal space (up to 1 meter distant) causes an interference pattern in the salt crystal display.
 
          - A prospective dendrite pattern is not realized when a
          prospective cubic-pattern of the salt is dried in the local space (up to
          1 meter).  The latter by its presence 
            in space is able to prevent the dendrite expression and enhance the
            cubic symmetry expression.  A photograph of crystals of cubic
            symmetry when moved by a vibrating holder (2 cps) has the same
            effect on the real crystals drying from the solvent.
 
          - Dendrite forms of salt crystal result when certain
            chemical reactions involving proton or ion movement occur up to 30
            meters away, separated by brick walls, glass, etc.  These
            reactions were detailed by Dr. Reid and his colleagues.  If the
            mother solution is examined by ac capacitance on a sensitive bridge,
            variations in capacitance of over 300% accompany the receipt of the
            signal.
 
          - If such a transmission from 30 meters distance is
            regarded as a carrier wave which is modulated by a foreign - and
            thus detectable - chemical, the chemical can be detected in the
            distant atmosphere some 3 months later in the form of a discrete or
            adiabatic 'cloud' which contaminates sodium chloride drying at the
            same time.  In this way, copper sulfate dissolved at a site A
            in June 1985 could be repeatably detected at site B, 30 meters
            distant and separated by walls, screens etc., by a drying solution
            of sodium chloride solution in September 1985.  Serial dryings
            of the sodium chloride solution on glass slides showed that each
            day, the cloud hovered over a space of 1-2 cm at the end of a
            venturi tube for several hours before 3 p.m., and then moved off at
            1 meter per hour in a NW direction.  The copper content of the
            cloud was discernible by crystal structure and chemical means from
            the adjacent sodium chloride.
 
          - All of the above crystal forms required ambient
            oxygen for their manifestation. Atmospheres of nitrogen and argon
            prevented their display.  At the time, the researchers
            suspected that the effects may have been carried by orbital
            electrons of oxygen showing unpaired spin which had interchanged
            with electrons of the copper solution.  They then developed an
            information-carrying device which could 'infect' the electron cloud
            of a target molecule sufficient for the chemical display of properties
            of the infecting electron's parent atom.  This concept seemed
            to explain the experiment of the following paragraph.
 
          - Two beakers of sodium chloride solution were
            connected in series with a small voltage source (say a 1.5V dry
            cell) to provide a transfer of electrons through each beaker. 
            The second beaker in series was sampled for subsequent drying and
            display of the crystal form.  A crystal form of cubic symmetry
            resulted.  When the solvent of the first beaker was altered by
            the addition of a protein solution (such as albumen or globulin),
            the crystal pattern of the second beaker was altered from cubic to
            dendrite pattern as though protein were present in the second
            solution.
 
          - During attempts to stabilize salt crystals on glass
            by means of thin plastic films drying from appropriate solvents (in
            order to stain the salt with aqueous solutions of dyestuff), it was
            discovered by chance that the crystallizing process is accompanied
            by structural patterns on the plastic film so exposed.  These
            patterns were of two major types:  (a) vortices, or spirals in
            the film plane, of 0.1 to 1.0 mm diameter, and (b) smaller curled
            structures into which the spiral could be seen to merge or
            grade.  From a concurrent mathematical study of vorticeal
            interaction as designed by Barsamian, the similarity of the curl
            structures in plastic films (the researchers usually used 0.25%
            polystyrene in benzol) to computer simulations of vorticeal vectors
            was shown to be remarkable.
 
          - The researchers then dispensed with the underlying
            crystals and exposed the drying polymer film to a variety of spaces
            where the field, thought to be responsible for many of these tele-effects,
            was operative.  With this technical advance, the team has made
            rapid progress over the last year or so.  They have come to
            have a more comprehensive grasp of the ether field than was possible by
            less direct methods involving formation of crystals.
 
          - On the biological side, they repeated the Russian studies done at
            Alma Ata with transmission of the cytopathogenic effect of viruses
            on animal cells.  They used the cytopathogenic effect of colchicine
            and its relative vinblastine on cells with the following differences from the published Russian work: 
            (a) The effect can
            be transmitted at least 100 meters between campus buildings, (b) it
            is not necessary to use a magnetic field for the propagation, (c) it
            is not necessary to use quartz vessels; glass is quite effective. 
            These experiments came to the attention of a colleague, Dr. G.
            Wilbanks, Head, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical
            School, University of Chicago in 1983.  Dr. Wilbanks was able to
            repeat them with similar results. However, in a more faithful copy
            of the Russian experiments, he used quartz vessels with cells placed
            in a magnetic field, with the vessels separated by no more than 1
            mm.  Both the Australian researchers and Dr. Wilbanks shared another
            thing in common: their uniform inability to interest the editors of
            several scientific journals such as  Science, Nature,
            Naturewissenchaften, and others in publishing papers describing
            these fundamental experiments and results.
 
          - Experience with interference of a lead mass in the crystal work
            prompted the use of several metals in the ambient field of growing
            cells.  Only lead (and to a lesser extent tin) showed the following
            properties: (a) Cell growth with 0.5-5 Kg lead in the ambient field
            is depressed sometimes to one third normal. (b) The cells die (dye
            exclusion test) but then can be revived by placing a small bar
            magnet in the local space with its poles in an E-W orientation. 
            At
            least in Sydney, a N-S orientation of the bar magnet does not revive
            the stricken cells.
 
          - The effects of energy flowing through living matter have been
            documented by Kirlian's method.  It was therefore of interest to
            the Australian researchers to expose living systems to drying films
            of polystyrene.  They found that the staining properties of the
            ambient-derived image on plastic films parallel those of the real
            organism.
 
          - By appropriate use of an imposed potential on
            living cells, it proved possible to match the field strength and
            show the actual imposition of the ambient (scalar) field on the
            bio-polymer content of the material during the permeation
            process.  The traces obtained are not unlike noise and would be
            so regarded by the casual investigator.  The design of this
            apparatus and associated experiments was the work of Dr. Barsamian.
 
         
             Concepts
        of Dr. Reid and Associates 
             Dr. Reid has kindly shared with me
        some of the concepts he and his colleagues have formulated.  These
        concepts, it is stressed, are consonant with direct physical results
        they have obtained in the laboratory. 
              Note that any errors in this explanation
        are strictly the fault of this author, and not of  Dr. Reid and his
        colleagues. 
        
          - Matter is bathed in an energy sea familiar to
            quantum theorists.  The Australian team prefers to call this
            sea of energy ether, as a relatively bland term, perhaps in a
            way to rescue it from the oblivion where Einstein banished it. 
            The key to the silence of this sea is its
            "fractional-charge" charged particle status and low energy
            values.  The former conceals it from physics, while the latter
            conceals it from chemistry and thermodynamics.
 
             
             
          -  The differing energy levels of this sea,
            combined with its enduring motion, are theoretically and practically
            best expressed as a vortex.  Dr. Reid and associates
            have detailed this theory to explain the creativity of
            biology.  The incipient creativity of the vortex is given
            material expression by its association (as part of the EM field)
            with an electron which it now endows with equivalent novel
            properties.  There is no intuitive reason why the energetic
            rearrangements of the electron cloud cannot proceed to the nucleus,
            there to set up a quark or proton rearrangement - or, as the quantum
            theorist would say, a virtual particle exchange - leading to
            transmutation.  Kervran's work on biological transmutations is
            relevant; the literature of such effects goes back to 1798 at
            least!  The team suspects that some such mechanism may underlie
            their experimental result of the transition of sodium to copper.
 
          - A further prime property of vorticeal
            interaction is its proclivity for amplification, wherein the
            atomic-size vortex can be built up to the meteorological hurricane
            by such adherence or affinity.  The team has noted the affinity
            of ambient field vortices to those produced by an electric current
            in a metallic conductor, with particular reference to the
            ill-defined boundary between the two.  This parasitism was the
            reason behind the team's use of "carrier waves" from
            chemical reactions as transporters of fields whose identity of
            origin were sufficiently specific to trace the field
            subsequently.  It is at least conceivable that the whole
            process could be amplified and used to parasitize (modulate) a radar
            beam as carrier.  The affinity property of fields may be
            exhibited by the experience of mariners with what they loosely term
            "magnetic phenomena" thought to be derived from
            luminescent plankton.  In the South China and Arabian Gulf
            seas, giant "wheels" of light, 5- 15 km in diameter and
            containing spiraling spokes, revolve about the ship at night,
            reversing their direction of rotation as they pass the midpoint of
            the vessel.  The key observation in the context of the field
            affinity concept is that the luminescence is manifoldly enhanced
            when the ship's radar is switched on.  There could thus exist a
            chain, scalar-EM/plankton-optical, the first leg (scalar EM) of
            which can be amplified by radar EM.
 
             
             
          - The property of affinity means that a scalar
            field's transform or copy, of the energy disposition imposed on it
            by the experience of matter last permeated, may persist as a
            memory in space, as many of the Australian observations
            attest.  The team found that recall was not all that difficult
            technically.  The energy transform for copper sulfate
            existing as a non-dissipated cloud with marked adiabatic properties
            could be recalled five months after its formation.  There is no
            reason why informationally more elaborate spatial configurations of
            energy, including human thoughts, will not behave in precisely the
            same way.  The cell nucleus could conceivably be the
            candidate for the first site for storage of such energy.  The
            nucleus has a highly ordered structure and an associated high
            permittivity, and this would make it a real target.  In the
            human subject, there is experimental evidence that the mongoloid
            polymer constitution will have a higher activity for storage of the
            ambient field than will the Caucasian.
 
         
             Other
        Important Ideas 
             Dr. Reid also shared other important
        insights: 
             Lavoisier in 1748 advanced the concept
        that matter itself {chemicals) is inert.  The activity of all
        chemicals, according to Lavoisier, resided in their associated ether -
        and God sent the ether! 
             Taken to its limit, this suggests that the
        source of the energy which we call thought is a property of the
        scalar field.  Matter (say, the nervous system) interacting with
        these fields, would be incapable of discerning the source of the field
        as presented, whether of self or external origin. 
             In his book Hidden Variables in Quantum
        Theory, Dr. David Bohm felt that in 'elevating' ( his word) matter
        (as particles) from the sea, it might be possible to consider the idea
        as containing even more elaborate energy transforms such as biological
        shapes, these transforms themselves undergoing metamorphosis. [Comment
        by this author:  Rife's microscope, using evanescent waves,
        actually allowed one to directly see and photograph such forms, proving
        the thesis.] 
             The ability of the Australian researchers
        to rescue these transforms on films together with evidence that they
        could be seeing the results of the exclusively space interaction of
        virtual forms (say microbe and antibiotic), is also a direct technical
        step toward validating Bohm's important idea. 
             Wider
        Implications of Structured Field Information 
            As T .D. Lee points out in his important
        book, Particle Physics and Introduction to Field Theory, particle
        physicists have not attempted to use the structure of the vacuum nor the
        structure of potentials. 
             Dr. Barsamian has shared other wider
        implications of the structured ether. 
             Over the ages a phenomenon which, as
        discussed, can have no representation in real (that is, electromagnetic
        or thermodynamic) terms can hardly have been thought of as possessing
        specific structure or function.  Instead, it signaled its undoubted
        presence to generations of philosophers and physicists before Einstein,
        solely through statistical effects. 
             The writings of Helmholtz, James Clerk
        Maxwell, and Neils Bohr are examples. The more recent Dirac and Fermi
        statistics are a continuation of the process. 
             If an alternative definition of science is
        the continuing refinement of that which we partially knew or took for
        granted, then the refinement of these statistical approaches -- with
        their obligatory uncertainty as defined by Heisenberg - is a worthy
        goal. 
             In this sense, a more articulate
        description of the anatomy of the field is a logical progression from
        the beginnings of the ether concept in Classical Greece through to the
        statistics of the nineteenth to the early twentieth century. 
             A hundred years ago, this orderly
        progression even reached the concept of a vorticeal atom at the hands of
        J .J .Thompson.  However, it was interrupted very effectively by
        Einstein's publication of the special theory of relativity. 
             Einstein was fortunate in that he had
        chosen for his mathematics a pivotal feature of the ether field, its
        elasticity.  The mathematics of elasticity had been evolving -
        through the developments of Hooke, Young, invariance, and the calculus -
        to handle its historically increasing complexity (by tensors). 
        This mathematics of elasticity was then available to Einstein.  The
        wisdom of this choice was vindicated by the
        remarkable special relativity predictions which were born out in
        subsequent observation and experiment. 
                  There was
        seemingly no need to suspect, let alone probe, any special properties of
        the medium underlying the mathematics.* 
         
        *As, for example, whether or not the concept of an
        abstract vector space in vector mathematics must be modified to
        correspond to what we know about the vacuum medium.  If the vectors
        are to correspond to the movements of physical things in the vacuum
        medium, then the vector medium must correspond to the vacuum. 
         
                  The
        success of these predictions effectively blocked any chance of a return
        to the ether field concept.  Indeed, it was seen as an arrogance to
        despoil the "elegance" of the mathematics.  Nor was the
        success of quantum mechanics - the other leg of the Western World
        statistical approach to the nature of reality - able to get the
        physicists to heed Bohm's 1958 ideas on the hidden variables in its
        fabric or Dirac's 1952 ideas on a lesser uncertainty of the
        particle-field relationship than Heisenberg had formulated. 
                  Recently Dr.
        Barsamian has originated the concept of an alienation of the electron
        from its field.  The full expression of this could see the
        field so alienated that it is well-nigh autonomous, and some kind of
        fundamental entity in its own right. 
                  In this
        sense, the freed autonomous field - at least conceptually - could
        proceed with its creativity by hybridization with other fields and so
        return the product of these asides to the particle.  In atoms of
        the next fragment of matter with which the particle then associates,
        this product could create novel properties derived from the interchange. 
                   The
        multiple properties of such a field allow it to be resolved in EM
        (electrostatics and electrodynamics), in atomic structure (electrons and
        nucleons), and in pressure (gravity) terms.  This universality
        makes a new concept possible, long beloved of the GUT (Grand Unified
        Theory) theorists:  that there is only one energy. 
                   It is
        also quite possible that this ubiquity need not be confined to
        physics.  It may penetrate the biological imponderables of growth,
        new growth and consciousness. 
                   In
        view of the work of Dr. Reid and his associates, and other work - such
        as that of Hines and Chimonas showing atmospheric gravity waves launched
        by auroral currents - the prospect of amplification and transmission of
        transforms and patterns over long distances, through affinity with
        long distance carriers, is indicated. 
             Dr. Reid stated that it would be
        surprising if other laboratories outside Russia had not progressed as
        far, if not further, than he and his associates had.  Obviously the
        lack of similar publication indicates the nearly impenetrable editorial
        curtain confronting Western researchers in this and related areas. 
             Dr.
        Barsamian's Important Theoretical Insights 
             Dr. Barsamian has formulated a theory
        in relation to the development of cancer that is of great importance. 
             In his theory, he is developing the
        approach of classical mechanics to electromagnetic interactions between
        charged particles and between dipoles.  The field associated with
        the primary moving particle is not neglected in his theory, and this
        part of it differs from Dirac's "new electromagnetic theory." 
             The field associated with the primary
        moving particle, in Dr. Barsamian's approach, is viewed as an important
        part of the particle's interactions.  This field is stressed in the
        sense that diverse phenomena - from Maxwell's EM field radiating from
        the remotest regions of the universe to the controlled charge flow in
        the matter medium - are viewed as manifestations of EM forces. 
             This of course is unlike the traditional
        relativity view of EM force action on moving charges. 
             In Dr. Barsamian's view, the potential
        vectors (derived by a treatment from fluid mechanics theory) form an EM
        field and are positioned on a vortex curve.  All parameters of such
        a field can be treated mathematically, and Dr. Barsamian has one or more
        papers presently in publication. 
             The duality of such potential vectors
        (gradients) is to conduct the motion of particles (which are always
        either charged or dipolar) appearing in nonmatter, which is taken as an
        incompressible continuum - the "void."  Because the final
        results of these forces are always movement of matter, Dr. Barsamian
        prefers not to classify them by their origin. 
             Such a field may persist with great
        permanence.  There are some limitations in summation (triplet
        conditions) and selectivity (periodicity) of the vortices
        themselves.  Part of these limitations takes the form
        of particle characteristics.  Presently he is rather sure that the
        formation of patterns of organic, inorganic and liquid crystals (typical
        to living biomatter) are partially responsive to the effect of the
        described field. 
             Dr. Barsamian is attempting to synthesize
        his own experimental findings on the dielectric behavior of biosystems
        as they enter the cancer process with the data that Dr. Reid is
        producing with respect to action at a distance. 
             With respect to living systems, he has
        slowly been approaching the conclusion that existing physical laws are
        just not applicable concerning (1) entropy, or (2) energy breakdown, or
        (3) random collisions of particles in quantum terms, or (4) electron-ion
        exchanges in bioelectrochemistry terms. 
             Under such circumstances, it is
        difficult to find a referee who sincerely understands the related
        experiments and their underlying theory.  This presents a nearly
        impenetrable barrier to publication in leading scientific journals. 
             This is tragic, because these
        considerations and experimental results at least provide an entry into
        more fundamental experiments with present lethal diseases such as cancer
        and AIDS which annually take large numbers of human lives. 
             The present state of the art is telling
        everyone loud and clear that something fundamental is wrong with present
        theory, and that we should come to terms with more novel views. 
             Comment by the present author:  In
        his prophetic insights, Dr. Barsamian has placed his finger squarely on
        the fundamental struggle of living systems against the "positive
        energy/time" laws of present physics.  In its struggle, the
        living system must use negative energy/time, to correct from disorder to
        order and provide the extra free energy to do so.  Otherwise, the
        steady progress toward increasing disorder in all its actions, would
        very shortly reduce the living system to such a disordered state that it
        could no longer reproduce the clear genetic pattern of its own
        kind.  We have already pointed out the hitherto unexpected role
        that phase conjugation plays in allowing the living system to violate
        and break the iron dictates of conservation, nontransmutation, entropy,
        and raw statistics. 
             To live and survive, a living system must
        have access to other functional levels and other mechanisms beyond those
        contained in our present physics, electromagnetics, and biochemistry.. 
            The incredibly productive and important work of
        Drs. Reid, Barsamian, and associates is of the utmost importance. 
        Their work clearly moves everything in biochemistry and the knowledge of
        cellular functioning a major step forward. 
             It is a betrayal of the scientific method
        that such vital work goes so largely unreported in the leading
        journals.  Indeed, the work of these Australian scientists should
        be galvanized and well-staffed and funded.  They can literally
        usher in a new science, given the chance to further exploit and develop
        their results.
