Vladimir Poponin DNA Phantom Effect - (Is this BS? Its not on Snopes)?

Question

After researching about Holograms, which led me to DNA, which led me to DNA experiments, I ran into an article I had to snope in regards to an alleged experiment that took place by a Russian Scientist i.e. Vladimir Poponin which goes as follows:

The first reported experiment was done by Dr. Vladimir Poponin, a quantum biologist Dr. Vladimir Poponin, with a Ph.D. in physics and another in mathematics from the Russian Academy of Science.

First a container was emptied, therefore creating a vacuum within it. Then, the only thing left were photons (particles of light); he measured the distribution or location of those photons and found they were completely random inside the container. This, of course, was the expected result.

But surprisingly enough, then some DNA was placed inside the container, and the distribution (location) of the photons was remeasured again, but this time the photons were lined up in an ordered fashion, aligned with the DNA.

Is this BS?

Answer 1

Yes, it's BS.

Not least because while "quantum biology" is an emerging field of study, it has nothing to do with the kind of things Poponin is supposedly researching.

Quantum biology applies quantum theory to the study of the behavior of biochemical processes.

"Quantum Biology" as practiced by guys like Vladimir Poponin and Glen Rein is pseudoscientific, New-Agey BS.

Answer 2

I think before one can answer any questions on a subject it would be best to be a professional in that area. Would it surprise me if this is true? Not at all. It is medically proven that light promotes healing to the body. My advise would be give it time. All new findings in science sound like BS, and then what do ya know the BS turns into facts. I'll keep an open mind.

Answer 3

I find it funny when people use terms like "pseudoscientific bs" when so many of our technologies and understandings of the universe were at one point just as "pseudoscientific bs" as this is now.

Answer 4

If you want the experiment to work badly enough, it will work. Just make sure nobody is watching over your shoulder to see how you are fooling yourself.
