petemcewan   27 #1924 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) RootsBooster  You are probably correct.  You might find this Quantum Physics approach interesting. The problem with current approaches is that after busting malignant cells-large quantities of cells get away, ready to start all over again.If that process could be controlled ,then that would be a great leap forward in the search for a cure for cancer.  http://quantumconsciousness.org/sites/default/files/New Theory Origin of Cancer Quantum Coherent Entanglement.pdf Edited January 31, 2019 by petemcewan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #1926 Posted January 31, 2019 Also we're able to diagnose it far more accurately, so instead of people dying at 70 of "old age" they die of cancer. No different, we just didn't understand what was killing them previously.

Interacting TEM waves. Generally, the interaction of two TEM waves is thought to be covered by Maxwell's Equations. However, I have shown (Ref.9) that this is not so. Maxwell's Equations contain only; (1)   the velocity of propagation of the TEM wave   and (2)   the impedance of the medium   . They contain no additional information about electromagnetism in general, let alone information on the way two colliding TEM waves interact. Even more curiously, the empirical laws governing reflection at a resistively terminated transmission line seem to be a body of knowledge divorced from Maxwell's Equations. Partial reflection in a transmission line. It is found experimentally that if a TEM wave travels down a uniform transmission line   (Fig.11) joined to a different transmission line   , some of the energy current reflects at the discontinuity and some continues (Ref.10). The voltage reflection coefficient is found to be  . In particular, if a pulse V travelling down a   transmission line at the speed of light collides into a   termination made up of three   resistors in series, then a   pulse reflects and   dissipates across the termination; (   in each   resistor). The front end of a long   transmission line looks exactly like a   resistor. The situation remains the same in Figure 12; three downstream coaxial cables connected in series, mimicking the three   resistors, and also (Fig.13) a parallel plate transmission line delivering the pulse into three such lines in series. Our next step is to widen the parallel plates to infinity, and this gives us our simplest situation for analysis (Fig.14). Having reached this stage, we can set out to gain the broader insights which our experimental knowledge of reflection in transmission lines gives us. (Consideration of conservation of energy and also that the voltage across the discontinuity must be continuous lead us to the same formula for the reflection coefficient.) Source:  http://www.ivorcatt.com/em.htm If Z2 < Z1 the reflection coefficient would be negative. Does that imply anything?
