PLAUSIBLE SPECULATIONS

Speculations based on studies and logical extrapolations

The following speculations, which were first posted several years ago, are undergoing further development, and updates will be posted when appropriate. Until that time, these articles can still serve as useful starting points for developing your own speculations about these topics. Enjoy!

A NEW LOOK AT BIORHYTHM THEORY - Are biorhythms "for real," and are they worth taking seriously? (370 Kb - 7 pgs.)

In this article I provide a brief history of biorhythms, and describe "Mort Gale's Biorhythm Theory" (1978) which introduced a new plotting format, a fourth biorhythm (Intuitional), and a new way to interpret biorhythms based on the relation between biorhythm pairs. I also offer speculations about how biorhythms may be related to different cellular groups, and why the new tools of non-linear dynamics (chaos theory) may yet lead to the scientific understanding of biorhythms.

BIORHYTHMS AND THE COLORS OF LIGHT - Can the color of light affect you through your biorhythms? (14 Kb - 4 pgs.)

In this article I build on my belief that biorhythms are linked to cellular activities, which also have been linked to the colors of light. I describe my brief search for a relationship between biorhythm periods and the wavelengths of red, yellow, green and blue light. The relationship suggests that biorhythms might assure that equal amounts of energy are provided to the different groups of cells associated with our physical, emotional, mental and intuitional activities.

CAN CELL CENTRIOLES ACT AS GRAVITY SENSORS? - Can the ubiquitous centriole pairs in cells be measuring changes in gravity? (75 Kb - 9 pgs.)

Each cell contains a pair of orthogonal centrioles. Each centriole consists of nine triplet "planes" of three microtubules each, skewed at the same angle from radials to the center of the centriole. An engineer looking at the geometry of these structures would see a "form" that is well suited to function as an "antenna" for sensing the local gravity vector. In biology, Function is said to follow Form!

CAN CELLS TELL TIME? - If cell centrioles can sense gravity, they can probably tell the time of day! (18 Kb - 4 pgs.)

As the Sun and Moon rise and fall each day, the components of their combined gravity vector wax and wane. The ratios between the magnitudes of these vertical and horizontal gravity components may indicate the time of day, and perhaps even distinguish components that indicate the latitude and signal the seasons.
