Quantum Electrodynamics Coherence and Hormesis: Foundations of Quantum Biology

Abstract

Background: “Quantum biology” (QB) is a promising theoretical approach addressing questions about how living systems are able to unfold dynamics that cannot be solved on a chemical basis or seem to violate some fundamental laws (e.g., thermodynamic yield, morphogenesis, adaptation, autopoiesis, memory, teleology, biosemiotics). Current “quantum” approaches in biology are still very basic and “corpuscular”, as these rely on a semi-classical and approximated view. We review important considerations of theory and experiments of the recent past in the field of condensed matter, water, physics of living systems, and biochemistry to join them by creating a consistent picture applicable for life sciences. Within quantum field theory (QFT), the field (also in the matter field) has the primacy whereby the particle, or “quantum”, is a derivative of it. The phase of the oscillation and not the number of quanta is the most important observable of the system. Thermodynamics of open systems, symmetry breaking, fractals, and quantum electrodynamics (QED) provide a consistent picture of condensed matter, liquid water, and living matter. Coherence, resonance-driven biochemistry, and ion cyclotron resonance (Liboff–Zhadin effect) emerge as crucial hormetic phenomena. We offer a paradigmatic approach when dealing with living systems in order to enrich and ultimately better understand the implications of current research activities in the field of life sciences.

Environmental Homeopathy: Homeopathic Potencies Regulate the Toxicity and Growth of Raphidiopsis raciborskii (cyanobacteria) and can be Tracked Physico-Chemically. Part 1: Biological Results

“…From a biological point of view, what appears to be an increase in adaptive processes (or “hormesis”) has been frequently observed in living systems treated with homeopathic dilutions under a range of different circumstances. 29 30 31 Furthermore, such biological effects have shown close correspondence with physicochemical changes in previous microcrustacean studies. 22 These physicochemical changes in water can be monitored through interactions with solvatochromic dyes 24 32 based on the method developed by Cartwright.…”

“…31 Although the mechanisms involved are still unknown, the findings are consistent with the quantum electrodynamic hypothesis, as described by Madl & Renati, 2023. 30…”

“…From the present results, the quantum characteristics of fractal coherent liquid water, as resonating with and captured from the fractally inductive nature of the macroscopic fractal carafe, relate to the quantum electrodynamic (QED) theory (Del Giudice et al, 1985;Madl and Renati, 2023) and particularly the uncertainty relationship (Preparata, 1995). Accordingly, the coherent state was evoked by the interaction between the high-entropy photons of incident ordinary daylight with impact on the high/low-density ratio of liquid carafe water.…”

What Is the “Hydrogen Bond”? A QFT-QED Perspective

“…These electrons circulating at the periphery of a CD, are subject to a repulsive ponderomotive force (see Equation (10)) and are coherent; therefore, they cannot dissipate energy neither by thermal relaxation, nor by friction (giving rise to closed supercurrents, the so-called cold vortices). The implications of this aspect are huge, but beyond the scope of this work, for which we refer to [55][56][57][58][59].…”

On the left, an artist's sketch to give an idea of the biphasic picture of liquid water: at room conditions the coherent fraction, Fcoh(T), comprises about 40% of the total molecules and its density (0.92 g/cm 3 ) is independent of temperature, while the density of the incoherent interstitial fraction depends on T. This requires, as shown in the right panel, modelling water density as a function of T, ρ(T).…”
