H fields shown in Fig. 5.20a-c. The E field induces flow of biophotons along
the axis of chromosomes (one chromatid illustrated in (b) being impinged
by the E field transmitted via microtubules from spindles). (c) The biogenic
H field depends on the flow of biophotons due to the stretching and results
from the change in shape of the cross-section of the chromatid at or near
metaphase.
particular the chromatids) may change their overall shape from
circular to elliptic, as shown in Fig. 5.19a.
The electrostatic forces induce a change within the atomic
structure. An induced EM radiation forms within the loops of the
chromosomes. Termed the Stark effect, when an atom is exposed
to an external electrostatic field this causes a shifting and splitting
of spectral lines of EM radiation emitted by the atom due to its
exposuretothestaticEfield.Intermsofitsdynamicstheorbitofthe
outer shell electron becomes an ellipse. This shift in atomic energy
level causes the emission of a photon with a specific energy by the
atom. This appears to be the cause of the biophotons observed by
Poppetal.,whohaveusedphotomultiplierstocountsmallnumbers
of biophotons emitted by strands of DNA when exposed to various
forms of radiation.
Due to the helical loops within the molecular structure of the
stiffening chromosomes, this radiation forms a flow of biophotons
down the axis of the chromosome. This process may not involve
the entire length of the chromosome, but as diffusion of the
colony proceeds, and the biophotonic flow within the loops of
