I got it a bit backwards : C + O = 2N, N + N = Si
This is involved in protein and carbohydrate action in the human body, he says. And also silicon creation in plants.
I know what everyone is thinking "energy levels", nuclear reaction are big, like atom bombs. Consider "resonance, harmonics", thats the way i see all this as possible. That may sound stupid, but it must be, allowing the extra particles to just gravitate in or out of the mix. But have you guys looked into LENR? Coldfusion is labeled a modern day black sheep/quackery. The MIT representatives were having "The death of cold fusion" party before the figures were in, litterally from what i understand. (after it stormed the media)
Anyway, that's where i'm at with it, feel free to try to point me in the right direction.
Here's a quote from "Biological Trasnmutation"
"Industrial Oxy-carbonaemia
From 1935 to 1939, I had noted many instances where workers
doing blowtorch welding were poisoned, some fatally. Though oxy-
carbonism was the acknowledged cause, all analyses revealed the
absence of CO in the air inhaled by the victims.
Reviews in the literature of industrial medicine indicated grow-
ing alarm over a serious but puzzling situation. In France, more than
ten investigators were busy with this enigma while there was com-
parable activity in other countries.
Looper, in 1936, published a study of Endogenic Oxycarbonism;
in 1938, he collaborated with others on Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
in Certain Professions; in 1939, Oxy-carbonaemia Ignored appeared.
There was no doubt, according to numerous publications, that in
some professions there was CO poisoning of endogenic origin. The
mechanism went unexplained although all samplings agreed with
complete certainty that no CO was present in the inhaled air.
In 1939, Kienitz in Germany did systemic research in a con-
fined atmosphere using a strong blowtorch for welding in a room
ten meters square. There was no CO present. The German chemical
industry, demanding a solution, financed further research by Rimar-
ski and Konschal. A room one hundred meters square with built-in
measuring devices was constructed in a shipyard. Work that gener-
ally caused oxy-carbonaemia was done there including blowtorch
welding, blowtorch heating of plates to be drilled, and oxy-cutting;
yet, CO was never present in the air!
In 1946, research was conducted in England by Adley, who ex-
amined conditions during the heating of plates in the hangar of an
aircraft carrier. Again no CO. In 1959, CECA (Carbon Steel Corpo-
ration of Europe) ordered tests on ovens used for heat treatment in
the steel industry. When the same negative results occurred, medical
doctors urged a program of blood analysis claiming that the methods used by chemists were inadequate for CO detection!
In France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and elsewhere, reports of
similar cases continued to appear with disquieting regularity. Studies
from a single district done in Paris were recorded from 1955 to 1959.
Although accumulated evidence indicated that all researchers
were dealing with a contradictory situation, in actuality, there were
the following consistencies:
1. When a worker breathed air that had been in contact with
an incandescent metallic surface, an endogenic production
of carbon monoxide resulted.
2. If the worker stood a few yards away from the metal
working area, oxy-carbonaemia was absent.
3. Although innumerable samplings were made immediately
under the noses of workingmen, CO was never found in
the air that they inhaled.
Air is nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon monoxide is carbon and
oxygen. It is a new combination produced within the hemoglobin at
the lung level where the nitrogen from the air changes to carbon. It
became clear that nitrogen activated by incandescent metal changed
to carbon.
This is substantiated by comparing the metabolism of nitrogen
in animals and plants. Free nitrogen does not exist in atomic form—
it can only be found as the molecule N 2 . In this case, two-nitrogen
nuclei no longer retain their separate identities. They each contribute
the seven electrons they possess and are then surrounded, as one
unit, by the total—fourteen. The atoms are not merely alongside of
one another—they have fused.
Atomic arithmetic permits us to write:
N 2 → 12 C + 16 O
14
(A nitrogen molecule N 2 with both atoms being the isotope 14 N
turns into the isotope 12 C of carbon and an isotope 16 O of oxygen).
This is why we see the element carbon appear. I cannot go into the many considerations that brought me to the above identity. I mention only that nitrogen presents many anoma-
lies at the atomic level:
1. There are few stable elements with an uneven number of
protons and neutrons (nitrogen has seven of each). This is
why nitrogen is found in the form N 2 only.
2. The linking energy between nucleons of nitrogen is less
than that of its surrounding elements C and O.
3. It is exactly at half distance between C and O.
It must also be mentioned that chemically speaking both N 2 and
CO have the same atomic mass and density. Differences of mass
show only at the fourth decimal (solely used, originally, to express
the exact masses of isotopes).
"Glimpse of the Structure of the Nitrogen Nucleus
The above caused me to conceive of the nitrogen nucleus (N 2 )
as the agglomeration of a carbon and an oxygen nucleus feebly po-
sitioned side by side. Schematically, it can be said that the carbon
nucleus is composed of four helions. (The helion or alpha particle is
the smallest natural bit of matter emitted during radioactivity). This
union can only be separated into two unequal parts, the one of three
helions and the other of four helions: 12 C and 16 O. The difficulty in
finding atomic nitrogen then may be traced to the difficulty (or near
impossibility) of separating C + O nuclei into equal parts.
Although I cannot insist on my configuration of these nuclei,
results do count, and, so far, it has been impossible to prove this rep-
resentation false. Furthermore, when 12 C + 16 O is considered as 14 N 2
rule of atomic physics, there is a gain (when figured to the sixth deci-
mal). For reasons too extensive to be elaborated in this summary, the
laws of modification of masses as formulated by nuclear physics do
not apply here. These laws are based on an average in a nucleus mis-
takenly supposed to be homogenous and are too simplistic for biol-
ogy. (Specialists in nuclear physics recognize that accepted theories are not irrevocably applicable to the behavior of elements with an atomic number under thirty.)"
"Nitrogen and Silicon as Isomers
It is not simply a trick of writing that has brought me to the con-
clusion that nitrogen and silicon are merely two different volumes of
a single nuclear arrangement:
N 2 → 28 Si
14
In biology, there are numerous reasons to believe that nature can
form silicon from nitrogen. For instance:
1. Silica in the stalks of cereals
2. Banks of silica expelled by diatomea that clog rivers and
lakes
These deposits cannot be the result, solely, of the concentration
of a few elements but require the withdrawal of N 2 from the air to
make Si."
