Biophotons that control mitosis and
biophonons
that control bone
growth originate from far outside the body from celestial and
galactic sources. This may form the basis of a spectroscopic test
for extra-terrestrial life, given that the next-generation space-based
optical telescopes may be capable of lookingdirectly at exoplanets.
Shown in Fig. 3.11 a geological clock has been proposed where
the clock face shows the eons across the earth's history. Given the
cycles found within the marine species fossil record, the clock face
mightbegivenaperiodof62Ma.Thismatchesthetri-spinorialbasis
for the solar system's motion around the galaxy. Again magnetic
flips in the earth's geological record might also be used as a
geological clock. If a quantitative basis can be determined for
magnetic flips using SFT then an accurate record of past geological
history could begenerated to givea parallel dating to carbon-dating
or dendrochronology, extending the historical range to either the
earth's magnetic flip rate, mean rate
∼
100 ka (ka thousand years),
or the galactic cycle of up and down wobbles of around 62 Ma. This
