Group - DNA Phantom effect

The very first evidential proofs of DNA being able to maintain wave/field type of memory were obtained in 1985 . In that year the Russian scientist Peter P. Gariaev and his group discovered the phenomena of so called DNA phantom effect. DNA phantom effect experiment developed as follows. The method used is called dynamic laser light-dispersion (DLLD ). DNA is considered to be a linear polymer. Spectrometer registers in its working chamber some form of hypothetical structures (objects), peculiarly dispersing the light after removing DNA samples from its working chamber. This particular fact/phenomena had been named ‘DNA phantom effect’. Test measurements, prior to placing the DNA in to the spectrometer’s chamber, register mere common background (noise) light-dispersion. Insufflations of the spectrometer’s chamber with nitrogen gas results in disappearance of the phantom effect, however it is newly detected 5-7 minutes later. As a matter of fact similar effect had been observed by Allison et.al. who also used DLLD method to study restrictive fragments of DNA. The research group also observed anomalous light-dispersion/scattering of such objects. The authors defined the phenomena as ‘mimicking the effect of dust’. In their experiments the effect was not due to any form of dust contamination but was a consequence of behavior of the “objectâ€� which acted as a dust particle scattering light. To sum up the finding, such a conduct of the particles produces characteristics of light-dispersion which do not comply with the classical models of light-dispersion for linear polymers. There can be found a common ground between these two kind of experiments (Allison et.al. and Gariaev et.al.) related to the fact that DNA samples were irradiated by light in the visible spectrum - 632.8 nm and 488 nm. In the formation process of DNA wave replicas, a dominant function is assumed by, perhaps, the emitter whose wavelength coincides/matches with the DNA’s absorption wavelength.
