Nobel Prize Winner Says DNA Performs Quantum Teleportation

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday January 12, 2011 @03:22PM from the giant-book-that's-hidden-inside-you dept.

HJED writes "TechWorld is reporting that the joint winner of the Nobel Prize for medicine in 2008, Luc Montagnier, is claiming that DNA can send 'electromagnetic imprints' of itself into distant cells and fluids which can then be used by enzymes to create copies of the original DNA. This would be equivalent to quantum teleportation. You can read the original paper here [PDF]."

  So... you mod the parent 4, funny, for making a tasteless joke about rape, that's not even funny, and you mod down the person that calls them out. Not cool, guys.
  Sounds like someone has some issues. Show us, on this doll, where the DNA teleported into you...

  Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure everything I just said is completely wrong.

It does raise my suspicions that he listed 'TimeCube' in his citations attached to the paper.

Seriously - this is a guy who claims that if enough people in a city do TM meditation, crime rates will fall
This could easily be true. The criminals are too busy meditating to be able to commit the crimes...

John Hagelin appeals to people who think What the Bleep Do We Know and The Secret were science documentaries.
Hey now. Scoff all you like, but The Secret helped me manifest a twelve inch pianist.

The paper is in Arxiv, and has not been peer-reviewed. They refer to Craig Venter as "G. Vinter." I won't hold my breath until these results are replicated by third parties.
The only way this is going to get replicated by third parties is after the party has been going on for a long, long time and aqueous dilutions of certain organic solvents have been extensively studied by all involved.

Audio frequencies? So perhaps someone in the lab is chanting "A...C...G..C..G...A..T" while the experiment is going on, and this induces DNA to form in the second tube! (j/k)
