			INTRODUCTION
			 
			
			 
			
			In this contribution I am going to describe some observations and 
			interpretations of a recently discovered anomalous phenomenon which 
			we are calling the DNA Phantom Effect in Vitro or the DNA Phantom 
			for short.  
			
			  
			
			We believe this discovery has tremendous significance for 
			the explanation and deeper understandings of the mechanisms 
			underlying subtle energy phenomena including many of the observed 
			alternative healing phenomena [1,2]. This data also supports the 
			heart intelligence concept and model developed by Doc Lew Childre 
			[3,4] (see also contributions by Rollin McCraty and Glen Rein in 
			this volume).  
			
			 
			This new phenomenon - the DNA phantom effect - was first observed 
			in Moscow at the Russian Academy of Sciences as a surprise effect 
			during experiments measuring the vibrational modes of DNA in 
			solution using a sophisticated and expensive "MALVERN" laser photon 
			correlation spectrometer (LPCS) [5].  
			
			  
			
			These effects were analyzed and 
			interpreted by Gariaev and Poponin [6].  
			 
			The new feature that makes this discovery distinctly different from 
			many other previously undertaken attempts to measure and identify 
			subtle energy fields [1] is that the field of the 
			DNA phantom has 
			the ability to be coupled to conventional electromagnetic fields of 
			laser radiation and as a consequence, it can be reliably detected 
			and positively identified using standard optical techniques.  
			 
			Furthermore, it seems very plausible that the DNA phantom effect is 
			an example of subtle energy manifestation in which direct human 
			influence is not involved.  
			
			  
			
			These experimental data provide us not 
			only quantitative data concerning the coupling constant between the DNA phantom field and the electromagnetic field of the laser light 
			but also provides qualitative and quantitative information about the 
			nonlinear dynamics of the phantom DNA fields.  
			
			  
			
			Note that both types 
			of data are crucial for the development of a new unified nonlinear 
			quantum field theory which must include the physical theory of 
			
			consciousness and should be based on a precise quantitative 
			background. 
			  
  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			 
			RESULTS
			 
			
			 
			
			The background leading to the discovery of the DNA phantom and a 
			description of the experimental set up and conditions will be 
			helpful.  
			
			  
			
			A block diagram of the laser photon correlation 
			spectrometer used in these experiments is presented in Figure 1 
			below.  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			
			  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			In 
			each set of experimental measurements with DNA samples, several 
			double control measurements are performed.  
			
			  
			
			These measurements are 
			performed prior to the DNA being placed in the scattering chamber. 
			When the scattering chamber of the LPCS is void of physical DNA, and 
			neither are there are any phantom DNA fields present, the 
			autocorrelation function of scattered light looks like the one shown 
			in Figure 2a.  
			
			  
			
			This typical control plot represents only background 
			random noise counts of the photomultiplier. Note that the intensity 
			of the background noise counts is very small and the distribution of 
			the number of counts per channel is close to random.  
			
			  
			
			Figure 2b 
			demonstrates a typical time autocorrelation function when a physical 
			DNA sample is placed in the scattering chamber, and typically has 
			the shape of an oscillatory and slowly exponentially decaying 
			function.  
			
			  
			
			When the DNA is removed from the scattering chamber, one 
			anticipates that the autocorrelation function will be the same as 
			before the DNA was placed in the scattering chamber. 
			
			  
			
			Surprisingly and counter-intuitively it 
			turns out that the autocorrelation function measured just after the 
			removal of the DNA from the scattering chamber looks distinctly 
			different from the one obtained before the DNA was placed in the 
			chamber. 
			 
			
			  
			
			Two examples of the autocorrelation functions measured just 
			after the removal of the physical DNA are shown in Figures 2c and d.
			 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			
			
			  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			After duplicating this many times and checking the equipment in 
			every conceivable way, we were forced to accept the working 
			hypothesis that some new field structure is being excited from the 
			physical vacuum. 
			 
			
			  
			
			We termed this the DNA phantom in order to 
			emphasize that its origin is related with the physical DNA. We have 
			not yet observed this effect with other substances in the chamber.
			 
			
			  
			
			After the discovery of this effect we 
			began a more rigorous and continuous study of this phenomena. We 
			have found that, as long as the space in the scattering chamber is 
			not disturbed, we are able to measure this effect for long periods 
			of time. In several cases we have observed it for up to a month. It 
			is important to emphasize that two conditions are necessary in order 
			to observe the DNA phantoms.  
			 
			
			  
			
			The first is the presence of the DNA 
			molecule and the second is the exposure of the DNA to weak coherent 
			laser radiation. This last condition has been shown to work with two 
			different frequencies of laser radiation.  
			 
			Perhaps the most important finding of these experiments is that they 
			provide an opportunity to study the vacuum substructure on strictly 
			scientific and quantitative grounds. This is possible due to the 
			phantom field's intrinsic ability to couple with conventional 
			electromagnetic fields. The value of the coupling constant between 
			the DNA phantom field and the electromagnetic field of the laser 
			radiation can be estimated from the intensity of scattered light. 
			 
			
			  
			
			The first preliminary set of experiments carried out in Moscow and 
			Stanford have allowed us to reliably detect the phantom effect 
			
			  
			
			However, more measurements of the light scattering from the DNA 
			phantom fields are necessary for a more precise determination of the 
			value of the EMF-DNA phantom field coupling constant. 
			  
  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			 
			THEORY
			 
			
			 
			
			It is fortunate that the experimental data provides us with 
			qualitative and quantitative information about the nonlinear 
			dynamical properties of the phantom DNA fields.  
			 
			
			  
			
			Namely, these 
			experimental data suggest that localized excitations of DNA phantom 
			fields are long living and can exist in non-moving and slowly 
			propagating states. This type of behavior is distinctly different 
			from the behavior demonstrated by other well known nonlinear 
			localized excitations such as solitons which are currently 
			considered to be the best explanation of how vibrational energy 
			propagates through the DNA.  
			 
			It is a remarkable and striking coincidence that a new class of 
			localized solutions to anharmonic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice (FPU) - 
			nonlinear localized excitations (NLE), which have been recently 
			obtained [7], demonstrate very similar dynamical features to those 
			of the DNA phantom. Nonlinear localized excitations predicted by the FPU model also have unusually long life-times.  
			 
			
			  
			
			Furthermore, they can 
			exist in both stationary or slowly propagating forms. In Figure 3, 
			one example of a NLE is shown which illustrates three stationary 
			localized excitations generated by numerical simulation using the 
			FPU model [7]. It is worthy to note that this NLE has a surprisingly 
			long life-time. 
			 
			
			  
			
			Here, we present only one of the many possible 
			examples of the patterns for stationary excitations which are 
			theoretically predicted.  
			 
			
			  
			
			Slowly propagating and long lived NLE are 
			also predicted by this theory. Note that the FPU model can 
			successfully explain the diversity and main features of the DNA 
			phantom dynamical patterns. This model is suggested as the basis for 
			a more general nonlinear quantum theory which may explain many of 
			the observed subtle energy phenomena and eventually could provide a 
			physical theory of consciousness.  
			 
			According to our current hypothesis, the DNA phantom effect may be 
			interpreted as a manifestation of a new physical vacuum substructure 
			which has been previously overlooked. It appears that this 
			substructure can be excited from the physical vacuum in a range of 
			energies close to zero energy provided certain specific conditions 
			are fulfilled which are specified above.  
			 
			Furthermore, one can suggest that the DNA phantom effect is a 
			specific example of a more general category of electromagnetic 
			phantom effects [8]. 
			 
			
			  
			
			This suggests that the electromagnetic phantom 
			effect is a more fundamental phenomenon which can be used to explain 
			other observed phantom effects including the phantom leaf effect and 
			the phantom limb [9].

				To Your refer. about DNA phantom effect...  
				 
				Dear Sirs!  
				 
				About the detection of the "DNA Phantom effect".  
				 
				Peter Gariaev has seen the effect for the first time in 
				1985, when he worked with correlation spectroscopy of DNA, 
				ribosomes and collagen in the Institute of physics/techniques 
				problems Acad. Sci. of the USSR.  
				 
				However, to publish it, was possible only in 1991 (Gariaev P.P., 
				Chudin V.I., Komissarov G.G., Berezin A.A., Vasiliev A.A., 1991, 
				Holographic Associative Memory of Biological Systems, 
				Proceedings SPIE - The International Society for Optical 
				Engineering. Optical Memory and Neural Networks. v.1621, p.280- 
				291. USA.), and then in 1994 (Gariaev P.P., "Wave based genome", 
				Ed. Obsh. Pl’za, 279p. In Russian -1994), where the biggest 
				chapter of the book is devoted to this effect.  
				 
				In 1995 Poponin has received an invitation in USA and has 
				offered, as continuation of the joint work with Peter Gariaev 
				in the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of 
				Sciences, again jointly to publish an article about the DNA 
				phantom effect in USA. Peter Gariaev agreed and gave 
				him the diagrams and the description of the method. Then an 
				article "of Poponin" with the data of Peter Gariaev 
				appeared in the internet 1995, but without his 
				participation.  
				 
				In this article Poponin refers to the joint publication (Gariaev, 
				K.V. Grigor'ev, A.A. Vasil'ev, V.P. Poponin and V.A. Shcheglov. 
				Investigation of the Fluctuation Dynamics of DNA Solutions by 
				Laser Correlation Spectroscopy. Bulletin of the Lebedev Physics 
				Institute, n. 11-12, p. 23-30 -1992) 
				 
				But this paper is ONLY about the DNA fluctuation dynamics, 
				investigated by a method with laser correlation spectroscopy, 
				and there is no relation to the DNA phantom effect.  
				 
				With best regards  
				Peter Gariaev, Ph.D.
