Nanotubes condition coherence of biological electromagnetic field and consciousness

Abstract: Cell-to-cell communication is a prerequisite in multicellular organisms. Coordinated interaction is provided by different mechanisms running in parallel. Just over a decade ago, nanotubular cell-to-cell connections have been discovered, termed tunnelling nanotubes (TNTs) or membrane nanotubes [1, 2]. The shape of TNTs resembles circular tubes with a typical diameter of 50 – 200 nm and a length of 10 –70 μm which can extend up to 1 mm. TNTs can transport ions, intercellular vesicles, mitochondria, and various cargoes of microparticles, and could mediate electromagnetic signalling between cells.
Cells with nanotubes could form a system of connected resonant cavities with unified electromagnetic oscillations. We calculated circular waveguide cutoff frequencies to be in the 10^15 – 10^16 Hz region. Signals thus can be excited by microtubules with mode frequencies in the 10^16 Hz region. The frequency region suggests a possible interaction of valence and inner electrons in biologically important atoms (e.g. C, N, O) with the cavity modes of the electromagnetic field. Possible signal amplification in TNTs can be described by Manley–Rowe relations [3] or by Fröhlich equation [4].
