i bet the us military has had this tech for years now...aren't they somewhere between 20 and 40 yrs more advanced technologically? couldnt it be the military abducting people using this weapon?

My thoughts exactly.This does sound sound familiar to abductees.

I am very courious what the "light-sensitive materials" are that were
fed to the worms. I'm on my way to checkt it out

Wow, great story. Thanks. I find it amazing how science imitates sci-fi. In relation to these "non existent' UFO's.

nice find. wow is all I got.

"When exposed to visible light, the dithienylethene became colorless again and the worms' paralysis ended. Many of the worms lived through the paralyze-unparalyze cycle. Scientists were not sure how the switch causes paralysis."

Diarylethene
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In chemistry, diarylethene is the general name of a class of compounds that have aromatic groups bonded to each end of a carbon-carbon double bond. The simplest example is stilbene, which has two geometric isomers, E and Z.

Under the influence of light, these compounds can generally perform two kinds of reversible isomerizations:[1]

E to Z isomerizations, most common for stilbenes (and azobenzenes). This process goes through an excited state energy minimum where the aromatic rings lie at 90° to each other. This conformation drops to the ground state and generally relaxes to trans and cis forms in a 1:1 ratio, thus the quantum yield for E-Z isomerization is very rarely greater than 0.5.
6π electrocyclizations of the Z form, leading to an additional bond between the two aryl functionalities and a disruption of the aromatic character of these groups.[2] The quantum yield of this reaction is generally less than 0.1, and in most diarylethenes the close-ring form is thermally unstable, reverting to the cis-form in a matter of seconds or minutes under ambient conditions.
is thermally unstable, reverting to the cis-form in a matter of seconds or minutes under ambient conditions.
Thermal isomerization is also possible. In E-Z isomerization, the thermal equilibrium lies well towards the trans-form because of its lower energy (~15 kJ mol-1 in stilbene).[3] The activation energy for thermal E-Z isomerization is 150-190 kJ mol-1 for stilbene, meaning that temperatures above 200°C are required to isomerize stilbene at a reasonable rate, but most derivatives have lower energy barriers (e.g. 65 kJ mol-1 for 4-aminostilbene). The activation energy of the electrocyclization is 73 kJ mol-1 for stilbene.


Stilbene isomerizations under the influence of lightBoth processes are often applied in molecular switches and for photochromism.[4][5][6]

Maybe flouride is used to sensitize humans

Apparently the army has been working on a device that will temporarily paralyze a person using EMP laser light. link They plan on mounting this device on an UAV.


I think I beat the US army to their device by about 20 years. I put myself in hospital with the device I made after it caused a seizure. It used two diverged red lasers with variable pulse rate.

I found that most people didnt like the beam and were immediately disorientated. The problem was that different frequencies were required for different people. I has a seizure after about 10 seconds at 55Hz but i am not normally photo-epilectic.
