Paul Davies, a theoretical physicist and cosmologist, says that physicists are very good at thinking about complex problems and cutting through the complexities to get to the heart of the matter; to discover the deep principals that make something tick. Those characteristics make them a good fit for a fresh approach to cancer research. Davies, who is director of the BEYOND Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science at ASU, heads up a new Center for Convergence of Physical Science and Cancer Biology, with funding from the National Institutes of Healths National Cancer Institute.

  • Here's a fundamental scientific question that I have long wondered: where does consciousness truly reside in the body? And don't just say "the brain". For all the various structures of the body, consciousness itself is a different separate thing from the atoms, sort of floating around the body. Therefore, there is no fundamental reason why, for example, I should not be able to see through my feet or hear through my elbows.

    Hence, if I can consciously move my arms, why not cancer cells?

  • With SMU, 41How does this relate to global health systematic markers fed by economic necessity through relativity in network-centric models? DAB The treament will be importnat to apply these fundamental concepts in progression of "lifes intrinsic exuberance" back into the national retail-relations that created them.. Choice is control vs eradication. This foundation of understanding will be geo-persistent. Dr Davies has squishy potential for biodesign

  • Prolong a disease, by slowing its rate, so as to get closer, then it is of benefit to protect cells giving lifeforms, than to allow a cells own destruction hmm

  • still a cure and prevention stance and self preservation, we need then to keep cells energised and rejuvenant (full of joy) this is where exercise plays a big part and being lively, with a lot of stimulea in its enviroment,,always learning and having intelligent design, btw I have a subject video and I woundered how it works I will send it along, many thanks
