Biological Transmutation - Proponent Theories

Proponent Theories

Defenders of the transmutation hypothesis have suggested some explanatory theories. To this day, these theories have not been mentioned, corroborated or developed by other scientists.

Proponents state that the strong interactions that take place in known nuclear processes (particle accelerators, atomic bombs, nuclear reactors, or stars) do not rule out that other nuclear processes may rely on the so-called "weak" interactions. Kervran introduced a new theory of "weak" interactions by "neutral currents", claiming that the enzymes can not only facilitate chemical reactions but also facilitate biological transmutations. Kervran proposed the idea that a sea of neutrinos or bosons brings high energy to the reaction and carries away the excess energy and the possibility of radioactive products, thus addressing some criticism.

Kervran claims that physics laws that apply to physical high energy reactions do not apply to biological reactions. He named them "biological transmutation at low energy". Mainstream physicists say that biological reactions are chemical reactions, and that all chemicals reactions follow the same set of rules — in other words, it doesn't matter that the reaction happens inside a cyclotron or inside the body of a living entity.

Famous quotes containing the word theories:

    Generalisation is necessary to the advancement of knowledge; but particularly is indispensable to the creations of the imagination. In proportion as men know more and think more they look less at individuals and more at classes. They therefore make better theories and worse poems.
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
