Sunlight changes DNA
Quantum epigenetics is a brand-new field of scientific inquiry AND it is already an everyday reality already practiced by billions worldwide
In my grander aspirations for improving maternal-fetal outcomes (for example, investigating the onset and reversal of genetic disease1), the actual quantum mechanics of sunlight and chronobiology offer an intriguing avenue.
For decades, it has been postulated that time scales for decoherence are too short for quantum mechanics to apply to macromolecules under ambient conditions, like DNA. Nevertheless, as outlined above, current models taking into account physiological temperatures and charge decoherence by the environment as well as experimental findings at corresponding conditions and using DNA in solution (and even embedded in histones), suggest quantum effects to be active in DNA in living cells… In summary, we think there is sufficient evidence for postulating a quantum physics layer of epigenetics, which we propose to name “Quantum Epigenetics". Our hypothesis on this layer’s existence, along with some features, is built on theoretical and experimental dat…
