Meyl on DNA

DNA formation – In his book Scalar waves, Konstantin Meyl presents a hypothesis concerning the formation of the double helix of DNA. Rather than a double helix forming simply out of the intrinsic properties of molecules, an electromagnetic force field of spiralling currents is instrumental in shaping the familiar helical shape.

DNA spends most of its time as a part of a mass of amorphous chromatin fibres and only takes shape when it is time for the cell to replicate, whereupon it assumes the familiar helical shape and further winds around into a chromosome. The chromosomes replicate and the whole cell is seen to divide.

Meyl asks how these transformations take place – is it purely chemistry or are there spiral forces actively shaping the molecular structure?

Meyl is a physicist and so assumes that to get things done properly you need some sort of force, and since attraction, repulsion and spirals are involved then those forces are going to be electromagnetic in nature (what else is there anyhow?). The hypothesis is that electromagnetic scalar waves (also known as near-field or Tesla waves) are created within the cell and form spiral eddy currents which help shape the initial helical arrangement of molecules.

Once the helix has been formed, the DNA acts as a resonant chamber for photons, creating an electromagnetic standing wave. When enough energy has been accumulated it is used to wrap up the DNA into a chromosome.

This all sounds quite reasonable. The forces of physics are used to organise specific molecules into a functional geometry. Now if DNA is a source of genetic information we can ask how this information might be disseminated to the gene-expression network.?

The possibility described is that the precise order of the base pairs on the DNA will alter the ambient electromagnetic field in a subtle way that is meaningful for the expression process (this has been suggested by others).

The frequencies of electromagnetic energy used are close to that of a blue-tooth device.

How else is a cell going to divide? It is held together with rather strong electrostatic forces which cannot be relaxed or else the cell will fall apart so what is needed is the generation of a strongly repulsive force which pushes the cell apart against the existing forces. For this we need a lot of energy which needs to be held somewhere without causing damage to the cell. DNA is then a specialised accumulator which is brought into being on demand, charged up and used to power mitosis.

Two daughter cells have to maintain two outer membranes each supporting a huge voltage gradient. It therefore follows that an overall input of energy is needed. This energy isn’t just lying around in the cell so there is a need for an accumulator (capacitor) to build sufficient resources to perform the task.

What is DNA for? DNA is too unstable a molecule to act as a source of genetic information so what is it for? Well if mitosis is what it ‘does‘ then maybe mitosis is what it is ‘for‘?
Another idea is that DNA is a radio receiver or transmitter of information. This needs to account for the fact that it spends only a small percentage of its time as a helical antenna.
