Metaphysics: Photosynthetic Interaction Center
-------------------------------------------------
Biophysics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Photosynthetic reaction center.
Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that uses the methods of, and theories from physics to study biological systems.[1] Biophysics spans alllevels of biological organization, from the molecular scale to whole organisms and ecosystems. Biophysical research shares significant overlap withbiochemistry, nanotechnology, bioengineering, agrophysics, and systems biology. | Overview
Molecular biophysics typically addresses biological questions similar to those in biochemistry and molecular biology, but more quantitatively. Scientists in this field conduct research concerned with understanding the interactions

Because most individuals are capable of creating new things for themselves, people have no difficulty understanding the process that man uses. But from this experience it is an easy mistake to assume that evolution uses a similar process to produce its successful forms. However the process for creating man-made objects and the process for producing biological objects are completely different.
For human endeavors of creation, the normal process is to first recognize the need for something new, identify what its function will be, and design it, before actually attempting to construct it. In all cases the builder, inventor, or engineer is limited to some degree in both the amount of time and the amount of resources that can be dedicated to achieving the goal. Given these constraints a person must be selective in how to utilize these resources. A person usually needs to be knowledgeable of science principles to create a new device, or at the very least a person must be able to follow designs and follow trade practices while constructing something

It has many applications. Radar detectors use the Doppler effect to measure the speed of baseballs and automobiles. Astronomers observe light from distant galaxies and use the Doppler effect to measure their speeds and infer their distances. Physicians can detect the speed of the moving heart wall in a fetus by means of the Doppler effect in ultrasound. Bats use the Doppler effect to detect and catch flying insects. When an insect is flying faster than a bat, the reflected frequency is lower, but when the bat is catching up to the insect, as in Figure 15-7, the reflected frequency is higher. Not only do bats use sound waves to navigate and locate their prey, but they often must do so in the presence of other bats. This means they must discriminate their own calls and reflections against a background of many other sounds of many frequencies. Scientists continue to study bats and their amazing abilities to use sound waves.

    (1) This theory of evolution, though often presented as an established fact, is up to the present time only an unverified hypothesis. (2) Science has utterly failed to discover any missing links between man and the supposed animals from which he originated. (3) Furthermore, evolutionists argue that evolutionary trends occur through the processes of mutation. But this view fails to account for the increased complexity of man. (4) Scientists have utterly failed to demonstrate or identify the origin of life (organic) from inorganic substances.…

    It can be installed with low-frequency radar beams that cannot be easily detected by culprits thus making the arrests that would otherwise have gone without being made. They can also be improved such that they can cover larger distances and maintain efficiency (Sood, 2008). This eliminates the risk of law enforcers being too close to the action such that they risk losing their lives. Doppler radars used for weather purposes can be equipped with sensors that determine among other conditions things like humidity. This ensures that weather prediction can be as accurate as…

    To begin with, biology is the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized field, such as Zoology (the study of animals) and Microbiology (the study of microscopic organisms). These technicians study living organisms and their relationship to the environment. They perform research to gain better understanding of fundamental life processes and apply that understanding to developing new products or processes. Research can be broken down into two categories: basic and applied. Basic research is conducted without any intended aim; the goal is simply to expand on human knowledge. While applied research is directed towards solving a particular problem.…

    The fascinating properties of light are not all detectable to humans, because our reference is mostly limited to what we can see. In order to determine the atomic/molecular composition of a fluid or gas, one must consult an emission and absorption spectrum. The properties of this spectrum include also waves, which can be any length, and define the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Ranging from gamma rays to radio waves, an electromagnetic spectrum includes each phase of light that can be detected by all organisms, not just humans.…

    Spallanzani is also famous for extensive experiments on the navigation in complete darkness by bats, where he concluded that bats use sound and their ears for navigation in total darkness (see animal echolocation). He was the pioneer of the original study of echolocation, though his study was limited to what he could observe. Later scientists moved onto studies of the sensory mechanisms and processing of this information.…
