351 nm “DNA resonance” (Cousto)

854 THz

A figure Hans Cousto reports from a personal communication. The measured peak of DNA’s ultraviolet absorption is elsewhere, near 260 nm.

About this number

Hans Cousto reports that DNA resonates most strongly at a wavelength of 351 nm, and points out that this is the 66th octave of the 24-hour day: 1 ÷ 86,400 seconds, doubled 66 times, is 854.02 THz, which is ultraviolet light of 351.04 nm. His source for the 351 nm figure is a personal communication from the biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp. This site did not find it in any publication. The measured peak of ultraviolet absorption by DNA is near 260 nm.

What is said about it

What is said, not what was measured

Cousto concludes that DNA is in resonance with the rotation of the Earth.
