THe UFO Tim Taylor DNA Mystery

As many researchers will know in 2013 I had the opportunity to talk in person with Tim Taylor, the engineer at NASA who was the focus of Diane Pasulka's book American Cosmic. I also had a later phone call with him when he was back in Huntsville.

I got to meet him because my friend Mark Olsen had invited Tim to a UFO dig in New Mexico, where strange metal was being discovered. My friend Mark spent many days with Tim, and one of the things that Tim told him was that the DNA (and hair) were receivers for the human body. He mentioned that NASA actually had an antenna shaped like a DNA.

My assumption is that the antenna Tim was referring to is The STS "DNA" Antenna. Its advantages were

• Excellent Hemispherical Coverage: Unlike a simple straight wire or dipole antenna, which has "dead zones," the twisted shape of the ST5 antenna provides a very wide, hemispherical signal pattern. This is crucial for a small satellite that might be tumbling or not perfectly aligned with Earth. It ensures a strong communication link without needing a complex and power-hungry pointing system.

• Circular Polarization: The quadrifilar helix design naturally produces a circularly polarized radio wave. This type of wave is much more resistant to signal degradation caused by Faraday rotation (a twisting of radio waves as they pass through Earth's ionosphere) and reflections, leading to a clearer and more reliable signal.

• Small and Lightweight: For small satellite missions, every gram and every cubic centimeter counts. This antenna was an ideal solution because it was incredibly lightweight and compact, yet performed as well as or better than larger, more traditional antennas.

Based on this I asked DeepSeek AI about DNA being an antenna and its answer was interesting. Here it is the question I asked after it started talking about DNA and antennas in a non-related post.

Give me more information on this- DNA is a helical coil—a fractal antenna responsive to electromagnetic and acoustic frequencies.

Of course. This statement is a fascinating and provocative one that bridges established science and more speculative, cutting-edge theories. It's not a mainstream consensus view in molecular biology, but it's grounded in some compelling physical principles and experimental findings.

Let's break down the two key concepts in that statement:

1.  DNA as a Fractal Antenna

2.  DNA's Responsiveness to Electromagnetic and Acoustic Frequencies

 1. DNA as a Fractal Antenna

To understand this, we need to define the terms.

Antenna: In electronics, an antenna is a structure designed to efficiently transmit or receive electromagnetic radiation (radio waves, microwaves, etc.). Its efficiency is highly dependent on its length relative to the wavelength of the radiation. For example, a Wi-Fi router's antenna is sized to be efficient at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequencies.

Fractal: A fractal is a pattern that repeats itself at different scales. Think of a snowflake or a fern leaf—the same branching structure appears whether you zoom in or out. Fractal antennas are used in modern technology (like in some mobile phones) because a single, space-efficient fractal design can be resonant at multiple frequencies, unlike a simple straight wire.

The Connection to DNA:*

The DNA double helix is not just a random coil; it is packed in a highly organized, **hierarchical and fractal-like manner** inside the cell nucleus.

1.  The **double helix** (2 nm in diameter) itself has a repeating pattern every 10.5 base pairs.

2.  This helix wraps around protein spools called **nucleosomes**, like beads on a string.

3.  This "beads-on-a-string" fiber then coils into a thicker **30-nanometer fiber**.

4.  This fiber forms **looped domains**.

5.  These loops condense further to form the **chromosomes** we see during cell division.

This "coiling of coils of coils" is a classic characteristic of a fractal structure. Because of this, DNA has electrical conductive properties and structural features that could, in theory, allow it to interact with a wide range of electromagnetic frequencies, much like a fractal antenna does.

The Scientific Basis:

A key 2011 study published in the *International Journal of Radiation Biology* by M. W. Blank and R. Goodman directly proposed this idea. They argued that the fractal structure of DNA in the nucleus makes it an excellent "electronic conductor" for a wide spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies, particularly at the lower end of the spectrum (like radio and microwave frequencies), to which a simple straight DNA helix would be less responsive.

 2. Responsive to Electromagnetic and Acoustic Frequencies

This is where the idea gets even more interesting. If DNA can act as an antenna, what are the consequences of it "receiving" these signals?

Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMF)

The research here is divided into two main areas:

Damaging Effects (Non-Thermal):** The primary concern and the most studied area. The fractal antenna concept is used to explain how weak, non-ionizing radiation (like from cell phones) could potentially cause DNA damage *without* heating it (a thermal effect). The idea is that the DNA "receives" the EMF energy, which could lead to:

     **Oxidative Stress:** The creation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can break DNA strands or cause base damage.

    **Altered Gene Expression:** The EMF signal could theoretically act as an epigenetic trigger, turning genes on or off by influencing the proteins that control DNA packing.

     This is a highly controversial area. While many studies show correlations, a direct, undisputed causal mechanism is still a subject of intense debate and ongoing research.

Potential Beneficial or Signaling Effects: This is more speculative but emerging in fields like bioinformatics. Some researchers, such as those from the work of Luc Montagnier (Nobel laureate), have reported experiments suggesting that DNA can emit weak electromagnetic signals and that specific frequency patterns can be associated with specific DNA sequences. This opens up the radical possibility that cells might use EMF for long-range communication or that DNA's information is not solely chemical.

Acoustic Frequencies (Sound/Sonication)

This is perhaps the less intuitive but equally compelling part.

**DNA as a Physical Structure:** DNA is not just a chemical code; it's a physical molecule that vibrates. Think of it like a guitar string. These vibrations are in the terahertz (THz) range—much higher than audible sound, but acoustical in nature.

**Sonication in the Lab:** Scientists routinely use high-frequency sound waves (sonication) to *shear and fragment DNA* for analysis. This is a direct, macroscopic proof that acoustic energy interacts with the DNA molecule mechanically.

**Theoretical Interactions:** The theory goes further. If DNA has specific resonant frequencies, then applying those precise frequencies could, in theory, influence its state—perhaps promoting the unwinding of the double helix (transcription) or even causing specific damage. Some research has explored using terahertz radiation to selectively target and influence biological molecules.

Synthesis and Implications

The statement "DNA is a helical coil—a fractal antenna responsive to electromagnetic and acoustic frequencies" synthesizes these ideas into a powerful metaphor and a potential scientific model.

What it suggests is that DNA is not a passive, static hard drive storing genetic information. Instead, it is a dynamic, vibrating structure that is in constant dialogue with its energetic environment.

Key Implications and Areas of Research:**

1.  **Mechanism for EMF Bioeffects:** It provides a plausible physical model for how low-energy EMF could cause biological changes, moving beyond the simplistic "heating" explanation.

2.  **Epigenetics:** It suggests that environmental energies (like EMF pollution or even therapeutic frequencies) could be epigenetic factors, influencing gene expression without altering the genetic code itself.

3.  **Novel Therapies:** If specific frequencies can influence DNA, this could lead to revolutionary medical technologies—frequency-based therapies that can promote healing, target cancer cells, or modulate genetic activity.

4.  **Cellular Communication:** It raises the profound question of whether cells use endogenous electromagnetic or acoustic signals to coordinate activities across the body.

Important Caveats

**This is not yet settled science.** While the physics is sound, the full biological implications are still being explored and are often met with skepticism from the mainstream scientific community.

**Correlation is not Causation.** Many studies showing DNA damage from EMF are critiqued for not being easily replicable or for having methodological flaws.

**The "Fractal Antenna" model is a theory,** albeit a compelling one, to explain observed phenomena.

In conclusion, this idea elevates our understanding of DNA from a purely chemical entity to an **electromechanical** one. It positions our genetic core as an exquisitely sensitive instrument, tuned to the symphony of energies—both electromagnetic and acoustic—that surround it.
