  • Sally Adee is an award-winning science and technology writer. For more context on research discussed in this talk, see below:
    Here are some things you don’t typically associate with electricity: eggs and sperm, their meeting to conceive, whether your injuries can heal, and cancer. But in the past few decades, new tools and new insights from across a range of scientific disciplines have made it clear that electricity is involved in all of these.
    06:41 (clarification): Early research shows the voltages of cancer cells may vary, generally within a range from -50 to -10 mV. For more see here and here: www.nature.com/articles/s4200... www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
    08:30 (clarification): More information on the role genes play in morphology and spatial information can be found here:

    We are not talking about wall plug electricity here - this is bioelectricity, and it is generated in your cells. Every one of your 40 trillion cells is a little battery - and their voltage is more relevant in your biological processes than you probably ever realised.
    People are starting to find out how to manipulate these tiny batteries in ways that could revolutionize the way we comprehend and treat our most common maladies.
    Sally Adee spent ten years as a technology features editor at New Scientist and IEEE Spectrum magazine. She has also written for the New York Times, BBC Future, Quartz and The Economist.
    She has won a US National Press Club award, a BT Information Security awards and the Guild of Health Writers Award for her inside account of Silicon Valley’s young blood clinics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    What I really like about this lady presentation, is that she renders/vulgarise all what Michael Levin says in his various interviews available on TH-cam, more comprehensible and therefore more interesting to the masses of common people interested in the latest discoveries/breakthroughs in Biology in less than 20mn.
    Kudos!

    “You are an ocean of knowledge, hidden in a dew drop.“
    Just around the corner of your thoughts, something amazing is waiting, just out of sight. Something valuable is yours for the discovery. The only way to find it is by entering this deeper state of mind.
    Choose a time to come out of this reverie. Write it down. Til then, quiet the world outside for a little while. Connect to your deep work awaiting within.

    7:08 wait. So does that means all one would need to do to kill cancer cells is make a drug with a slightly negative ion charge?
    Because then the drug should only attack cancers cells because they are the only cells that would absorb the drug.

    Robert O. Becker "The Body Electric" written in 1985. And what about acupucture: the lifeforce 'chi' is electricity, which flows through the meridians, formed by the connective tissue. Yin and Yang are plus and minus (or the other way around). To make things weird: electricity exists here, in space, but at the same time in counter-space (Eric Dollard).

    Everything is an electrical circuit in a field. Chemistry, physics, etc. all follow this principle. It is ignored mostly because we fail to see that relative cycles hide this underlying reality.

    • @13shadowwolf
      @13shadowwolf 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      How does electromagnetic fields and gravity interact in a way that supports your assertion?
      Mass/gravity don't seem to care about electromagnetics at all. Life requires EM to function, but lots of inert matter that predates life, has nothing to do with EM fields.
      Solar atomic fusion doesn't take electricity at all, but it does end up causing EM fields as a byproduct.
      A huge chunk of physics doesn't care about EM fields in the slightest.

    • @IamtheFool
      @IamtheFool 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The interrelationship you are talking about is gravity. Gravity is relative to the amount of energy captured in structure. The structure is electrical in nature, but you are seeing two different relationships. The more energy that a structure holds makes it more resistant to motion or inertia. The two are directly related once you understand what is going on there, it is just that science has failed to recognize that all structures are electrical and vary in how much energy they capture according to their breath rate. Electromagnetic properties are then a combination of any structures (defined by its resonant frequency) conductivity and captured energy. As we look smaller, the breath rate appears to increase so fast that it appears solid, but it is all relative. Space and time are relative. When smashed, we find that it was mostly empty. fields of energy within fields of energy that appear to have mass and gravity depending on captured energy. This is why quantum physics works the way it does and appears to disagree with Newtonian physics in some ways. The reality is that it is all the same.@@13shadowwolf

    And, one of those “eyes in the back of her head, “could replace nonworking eyes for those of us who are visually impaired, or, of course, Blind. That would be cool, but I’d like to see how God made me, and I would like to believe that God made my body on earth… Not all this electricity in science. It’s fun to believe in,, I have my own beliefs. However, whenever you hit your funny bone, and you get that shock of current going through your arm, is that already inside you? Wouldn’t it be cool to use that somehow, like the power or something like your cell phone. I have fictional stories that literally have characters who can do that, as they have a generator unit located somewhere around the chest region.
