nanoscale views: This just in: a Nobel in medicine does not imply knowledge of basic physics.

nanoscale views: This just in: a Nobel in medicine does not imply knowledge of basic physics.: "One of the 2008 Nobel laureates for medicine is the lead author, and he claims that simply having certain kinds of DNA in water (1) creates electromagnetic waves at very low frequencies, like 7 Hz; (2) those waves are sufficiently strong that a simple pickup coil of copper wire can be used to detect them inductively; and (3) somehow those waves continue to self-propagate in a weird way so that repeated dilution of the solution preserves the 'imprint' of those waves. Wow. The science here is so unbelievably bad, it's hard to imagine that this is serious."
