“…As Schrödinger observed for living matter in general (and his remarks apply equally well to the case of PCR processes), the attempt to explain the high efficiency in terms of ordering generated by "statistical mechanisms" * would be "the classical physicist's expectation that far from being trivial, is wrong" * , and "it needs * [18] (p. 47) * [18] (p. 19) no poetical imagination but only clear and sober scientific reflection to recognize that we are here obviously faced with events whose regular and lawful unfolding is guided by a mechanism entirely different from the probability mechanism of physics" * . We propose in this paper and in [5,6] that a third party intervenes in the DNA-enzyme interaction processes, which is organized (coherent) water, and we show how this fits well with the general gauge theory paradigm of quantum fields [15,16] (see also [7][8][9][10][11]). …”

“…This means that in order to obtain non-vanishing values for the fields E and B in a coherent region, ϕ(x, t) must exhibit a divergence or topological singularity within that region [9][10][11]. This is indeed observed in condensed matter physics.…”

Abstract:We discuss the role of water bridging the DNA-enzyme interaction by resorting to recent results showing that London dispersion forces between delocalized electrons of base pairs of DNA are responsible for the formation of dipole modes that can be recognized by Taq polymerase. We describe the dynamical origin of the high efficiency and precise targeting of Taq activity in PCR. The spatiotemporal distribution of interaction couplings, frequencies, amplitudes, and phase modulations comprise a pattern of fields instantiating the electromagnetic image of DNA in its water environment, which is what the polymerase enzyme actually recognizes at long range. The experimental realization of PCR amplification, achieved through replacement of the DNA template by the treatment of pure water with electromagnetic signals recorded from viral and bacterial DNA solutions, is found consistent with the gauge theory paradigm of quantum fields.

“…[78,79,80,81] Each quantum state |C i is macroscopically coherent due to the general collective behavior of the dipole field quanta of water molecules as a laser and the spontaneous breakdown of the rotational symmetry of the ground state of quantum dipole fields around ferroelectric and hydrophilic materials such as cell membranes and dendrites of neurons. [74,82] Actually, from the exhaustive study by Jibu, Pribram and Yasue (JPY) of the dynamics of water molecules in the perimembranous region of the neurons [74], which is based on the papers by Fröhlich and the early papers about the role of dipole wave quanta in living matter [83,84,85,86,87], it has been shown theoretically that Bose-Einstein condensates of evanescent photons with high enough critical temperature exist. The evanescent photons are generated by absorbing the Goldstone mode into the longitudinal mode of the radiation field as in the Higgs mechanism.…”

This paper is an exposition of the author's recent work on modeling M-theory vacua and quantum mechanical observers in the framework of a temporally statistical description of quantum geometrodynamics, including measurement processes based on the canonical theory of quantum gravity. In this paper we deal with several fundamental issues of time:the time-less problem in canonical quantum gravity; the physical origin of state reductions; and time-reversal symmetry breaking. We first model the observers and consider the timeless problem by invoking the time reparametrization symmetry breaking in the quantum mechanical world as seen by the observers. We next construct the hidden time variable theory, using a model of the gauged and affinized S-duality symmetry in type IIB string theory, as the statistical theory of time and explain the physical origin of state reductions using it. Finally, by the extension of the time reparametrization symmetry to all of the temporal hidden variables, we treat the issue of time reversal symmetry breaking as the spontaneous breaking of this extended time reparametrization symmetry. The classification of unitary time-dependent processes and the geometrizations of unitary and non-unitary time evolutions using the language of the derived category are also investigated.

“…S ymmetry breaking, leading to a specific handedness (left or right) of biological structure, is one of the most fascinating phenomena in nature 1,2 . In particular, the introduction of chiral nanostructure into conjugated polymer materials is expected to induce novel optical, electrical and magnetic properties, and tremendous potential for a wide variety of applications, such as organic devices with special electromagnetic functions and chirality sensing 3 .…”

Enantioselective synthesis of helical polydiacetylene by application of linearly polarized light and magnetic field

et al. 2014

Magnetic optical activity, which can occur in all media and is induced by longitudinal magnetic field, causes the difference in absorption coefficients of left and right circularly polarized light and has the potential for magnetically induced enantioselectivity in chemical reactions. Compared with the well-established technique with circularly polarized light, there are few reports on the production of helical conjugated polymers in a photochemical reaction based on above magnetochiral anisotropy mechanism. Herein, we demonstrate experimentally that the enantioselective polymerization of diacetylene derivative can be achieved in the liquid crystal phase by application of linearly polarized light under a parallel or antiparallel magnetic field. The screw direction of predominant helical polydiacetylene chain can be rigorously controlled with the relative orientation of linearly polarized light and the magnetic field. Moreover, the prepared helical polydiacetylene assemblies can serve as a direct visual probe for the enantioselective recognition of D-or L-lysine.
