Of course, that's one's immediate response. But what distinguished N rays
from X rays was not that they seemed *weird* and *inexplicable* (given the
then-current paradigms) but the fact that they could not be reliably
replicated. If this new effect *works* - ya gotta love that modem whistle
down the line perking up the poor ailing tissues - then we do have an
expanded biology. And this process could help with the global binding
problem in brain function, and solve some of Penrose's apparent non-local
effects mebbe.
Keep those memes percolating.
