- TL;DR Summary
- 1) some people claim to feel a "force" pushing or pulling their hands together/apart when holding them parallel to one another. Is this purely psychological, or is there some muscular reaction involved. (2) (Unsure if appropriate) does "wave genetics" have a proper foundation?
The first question concerns reports by people who claim that there is a "force" pulling or pushing their hands when they hold their hands in front of them, close to each other, and parallel to one another, or while slowly moving their hands apart. Obviously there are no significant forces (electromagnetic or otherwise) between them, so this is an illusion. The two explanations I can think of are: (1) they read somewhere about the "force" and are convincing themselves that it is there, or (2) there is a reaction by the muscles or nerves to this position, causing the reaction and hence the illusion. Is there any basis to know whether either of these explanations is correct, or perhaps some other?
The second question is more iffy, and I would understand if a mentor asked me to remove it or place it in "Discussion", or if I got only answers to the first question.
I was given some works by a Dr. Peter Garaiev who writes about a field called "Wave Genetics"; in Internet I also found it under the title of "Linguistic Wave Genetics", although I could find no reference to language in that article. The closest I got to it in Wikipedia was "Quantum Biology". (I do not post the links to Dr. Garaiev's sites, because they are in Russian.)
On one side, I tend to be skeptical due to:
(a) the writer's style (in the first sections of the articles -- my Russian is not strong) ,
(b) the limited appearance on the Internet referring to this, and
(c) being used to atomic physics being misinterpreted ( I am neither a physicist nor a biologist, but my background in physics is stronger than in biology) .
But on the other side, as I just said, I am not a biologist, so perhaps there is something to at least some of his ideas even if they are phrased differently, and I just don't know where to look. So, the question becomes a bit broad (and hence perhaps not suitable for this rubric), whether anyone has heard of or knows anything about a field dealing with the regeneration of tissue using those sections of the DNA code previously labeled "junk DNA".
