1 Marciak-Kozlowska Kozlowski., On possible new wave 100 Mhz 320 On Possible New Brain Wave 1000 MHz Microtubule Quantum Vibrations Janina Marciak-Kozlowska, Miroslaw Kozlowski ABSTRACT There has been interest in dark matter having warm properties for a significant amount of time. Interest in dark matter increased in proposed solutions to missing satellites problem of Local Group of galaxies A single-particle sterile neutrino v addition to stard model of particle physics provides a minimalist extension that can be produced as a particle in negligible (stard) lepton number cosmologies through nonn resonant collision-dominated production via neutrino oscillations in early Universe. The new sterile neutrino with mass 7 kev decays according to formula 2, where are photons with energy 3.5 kev. In this paper according to our model presented in paper. We calculate rescaled energy of photons emitted by analog of sterile neutrino decays in. The calculated energy is of order of 10-7 ev much higher than energy of,,, photons. The new wave, with new name - wave have frequency 100 MHz. In paper we argue that result of measurement by Anirbann Byopadhyay confirmed our oretical model calculation for new wave with frequency 100 MHz. Key Words: consciousness, new wave, 100 MHz DOI Number: / /nq NeuroQuantology 2015; 3: 1. Introduction 1 Review update of a 20-year-old ory of consciousness published in Physics of Life Reviews claims thatt consciousness derives from deeper level, finer scale activities inside (Hameroff Penrose, 2013). The recent discovery of quantum in s inside neurons corroborates this ory, according to review authors Stuart Hameroff Sir Roger Penrose Corresponding author: Miroslaw Kozlowski Address: Miroslaw Kozlowski, Warsaw University, Warsaw, Pol Janina Marciak-Kozlowska, Institute of Electron Technology, Warsaw, Pol. miroslawkozlowski1@gmail.com Relevant conflicts of interest/financial disclosures: The authors declare that research was conducted in absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. Received: 16 October 2014; Revised: 1 December 2014; Accepted: 22 May 2015 (Hameroff Penrose, 2003). They suggest thatt EEG rhythms ( waves) also derive from deeper level, thatt from a practical stpoint, treating could benefit a host of mental, neurological, cognitive conditions. The ory, called orchestrate ed objectivee reduction (Orch OR), was first put forward in mid-1990s by eminent mamatical physicist Sir Roger Penrosee Stuart Hameroff. They suggested that quantum vibrational computations in es weree orchestrated (Orch) by synaptic inputs memory stored in s, terminated by Penrose objective reduction (OR), hencee Orch OR. Microtubules are major components of cell structural skeleton. Orch OR was criticized from its inception, as was considered too warm, wet,

His recent discovery of warm temperature quantum in s inside by research group led by Anirban Byopadhyay corroborates pair's ory suggests that EEG rhythms also derive from deeper level (Tarlacı Pregnolato, 2015). In addition, work from laboratory of Roderick G. Eckenhoff, at University of Pennsylvania, suggests that anessia, whichh selectively erases consciousness while sparing non-conscious in (Sahni, 2014); The origin of consciousness reflects our place in universe, nature of activities, acts via s our existence. Did consciousness evolve from complex computations among, as most scientists assert? Or has consciousness, in some sense, been here all along, as spiritual approaches maintain? ask Hameroff Penrose in current review. This opens a potential Pora's Box, but our ory accommodates both se views, suggesting consciousness derives from quantum in s, protein polymers inside neurons, which both govern neuronal synaptic function, connect processes to self-organizing processes in fine scale, 'proto- conscious' quantum structure of reality. After 20 years, evidence now clearly supports Orch OR, continue Hameroff Penrose. Our new paper updates evidence, clarifies Orch OR quantum bits, or qubits, as helical pathways in lattices, rebuts critics, reviews 20 testablee predictions of Orch OR published in of se, six are confirmed none refuted. (Hameroff Penrose, 2003). An important new facet of ory is introduced. Microtubule quantum (e.g. in megahertz) appear to interfere produce much slower EEG beat frequencies. Despite a century of clinical use, underlying origins of EEG rhythms have remained a mystery. Clinical trials of brief stimulation aimed at resonances with megahertz mechanical using transcranial ultrasound have shown reported improvements in mood, may prove useful against Alzheimer' 's disease injury in future (Hameroff Penrose, 2013). 2. Consciousne ess Quantum Theory The issue of observation in QM is central, in sense that objective reality cannot be disentangled from act of observation, as Copenhagen Interpretationn (CI) nearly states. In words of John A. Wheeler 191, we live in an observer-participatory Universe. His vast majority of today's practicing physicists follow CI's practical prescriptions for quantum phenomena, while still clinging to classical beliefs in observer-ind dependent local, external reality. There is a critical gap between practice underlying ory. In his Nobel Prize speech of 1932, Werner Heisenberg concluded that atom has no immediatee direct physical properties at all. If universe's basic building block isn't physical, n same must hold true in some way for whole. The universe was doing a vanishing act in Heisenberg's s day, it certainly hasn't become more solid since (Schild, 2012). This discrepancy between practice ory must be confronted; because consequences for nature of reality are far- reaching an impressive body of evidence has been building to suggest that reality is non-locall undivided. Non-locality is already a basic fact of nature, first implied by Einstein-Podolsky-- original intent to refutee it, later explicitly formulated in Bell's Theorem. Moreover, this is a reality where mindful acts of observation play a crucial role at every level. Heisenberg again: The atoms or elementary particles mselves... form a world of potentialities or possibilities rar than one of things or facts. He was led to a radical conclusionn thatt underlies our own view in this paper: What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning g. Reality, it seems, shifts according to observer'ss conscious intent. There is no doubt that original CI was subjective (Schild, 2012). Rosen thought experiment despite 3. Model In order to put forward classical ory of waves we quantize wave field. In model (Marciak-Kozlowska Kozlowski, 2013) we assume (i) is rmal source in local equilibrium with temperature T. (ii) The spectrum of waves is quantized according to formula E 321 (1)

3 3222 Marciak-Kozlowska Kozlowski., On possible new wave 100 Mhz where E is photon energy in ev, =Planck constant, 2, -is frequency in Hz. (iii). The number of photons emitted by is proportional to (amplitude) 2 as for classical waves. The energies of photons are maximum values of energies of waves for emission of black body waves we propose well know formula for black body radiation. In rmodynamics we consider Planck type formula for probability P (E) de for emission of particle (photons as well as particles with m 0) with energy (E, E+dE) by source with temperature T is equal to: P(E)dE= BE 2 e (-E/kT) de (2) where B= normalization constant, E=total energy of particle, k = Boltzmann constant=1.3 x J K -1. K is for Kelvin degree. However in many applications in nuclear elementary particles physics kt is recalculated in units of energy. To that aim we note that for 1K, kt is equal k1k = K x 1. 3 x J x K -1 = Joule or kt for 1K is equivalent to 1.3x Joule= 1.3x /( 1.6x10-19 ) ev = 0.x100-4 ev. Eventually we obtain 1K= 0.x 10-4 ev, 1eV= 1.2x 10 4 K, dn BE de where, B is normalization constant, T is temperature of rmal source in ev. The function dn/de describes energy spectrum of emitted photons. Until 2014 no one has find experimental evidence of cold source of photons. But recently new sort of neutrino with mass of order 7 kev was experimentally evidenced. The neutrino decays according to scheme: 2 ( Ema 2 T maxe ax ) (2) (3) where denotes x ray photons with energy 3.5 kev. In paper (Marciak-Kozlowska Kozlowski, 2013) comparison of photon spectra of Cosmic Microvawe Background (CMB) spectra of electromagn netic emission was performed. It occurs that both spectra can be described with formula (2), but with different temperatures. The ratio of temperatures is T T CBM Following formula (4) we argue that in spectra photons with energy of order of x10 ev x10 ev 3.7x10 (4) 3 K (5) can be observed. In Figure 1, we present result of comparison of calculated, formula (2), temperature T= 0.x ev= K, observed spectra of waves. The calculated spectra are normalized to maximum of measured spectra. The obtained temperaturee is temperature for source in rmal equilibrium. The source is rmally isolated adiabatic well) ). It must be stressed that in paper we abon idea that every physical object is eir a wave or a particle. Neir it is possible to say that particles become waves in quantum domain conversely that waves are transformed into particles. It is reforee necessary to acknowledgee that we have here a different kind of an entity, one that is specifically quantum. For this reason Levy-Leblond Balibar developed name quanton (Levy- Leblond Balibar, 1990). Following that idea human emits quantons with energies E. The quantons are quantum objects that follows all quantum laws: tunneling, superposition Heisenberg uncertainty rule. In Figure 2, we present oretical spectrum of waves with for 3 temperature T K we will call m waves. Beginningg in 2009, Anirbann Byopadhyayy colleagues at National Institute of Material Sciences in Tsukuba, Japan, were able to use nanotechnology to addresss electronic optical properties of individual micro tubules Byopadhyay, 2013). The group has made a series of remarkable discoveriess suggesting that quantum effects do occur in s at biological temperatures. First, y found that electronic conductance along s, normally extremely good insulators, becomes exceedingly high, approaching quantum conductance, at certain

Comparison of experimental oretical results for vibration The resonance conductance ( Byopadhyay coherence BC ) through tubulins s is consistent with intra-tubulin aromatic ring pathways) which can support Orch OR quantum dipoles, in which anesticss bind, apparently to selectively erase consciousness. Byopadhyay s experiments do seem to provide clear evidence for coherent temperature. quantum states at In our model new wane have frequency =100 MHz in rar good agreement with Byopadhyay measurement. In light of above it seems reasonable to argue that vibration postulated in this paper is cidate for resonances observed in Byopadhyay s experiments. In Table 1, calculated energy wave length according to formulae 15 E[ ev ] 10 [ Hz] [mm ] 10 E [ ev ] (6) Figure 2. The model calculation of wave energy spectrum. These resonances occur in gigahertz, megahertz kilohertz ranges, are particularly prominent in low megahertz (e.g..9 MHz) ). Conductances induced by specific (e.g., megahertz) AC frequencies appear to follow several types of pathways through helical, linear along axis, blanket-like along/around entire surface. Second, using various techniques, Byopadhyay group also determined AC conductance through 25 nm-wide s is greater than through single 4 nm-wide tubulins, indicating cooperative, possibly quantum coherent effects throughout, that electronic properties of s are programmed within each tubulin. Their results also showed that conductance increased with length, indicative of quantum mechanisms. Table 1. The full spectrum of with new wave included. WAVE Max ENERGY Wave Freq[Hz] 15 [ 10 ev] length [m] Conclusions It is obvious that consciousness is not located in space. According to special relativity ory alll physically observed phenomena are located in 4D space-time. In conclusion conscious not exist in time also. Consciousnesss is timeless. The photons are effect of interaction of timeless consciousness with human. The final result of this interaction are alpha, beta, delta ta new waves. In paper we calculated energy of new wave E 10 ev, 100MHzz.
