“It’s a very analogous system—the way that light interacts with the nebula, I think, is the way that the light is interacting with our bodies and with the biosphere in general,” says Robert Fosbury, astrophysicist who worked for 30 years for the European Space Agency and the Hubble Space Telescope. As the silos between scientific camps continue to crumble, Robert finds himself part of a multidisciplinary team who is exploring the way that light interacts with all aspects of life. Today, he joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to discuss the link between astrophysics and the world of astronomy, and the world of light, bio photons, infrared light and quantum biology.

It is Robert’s belief that life is the biosphere and extremely intertwined with all the systems of the planet. He explains how different types of light enter and interact with the body, and why infrared light is so vital to the reproductive process of so many living things.

Join today’s discussion to hear Robert reveal the profession which has been surprisingly receptive to new findings on infrared light and its benefits to public health and which has been more reticent. He’ll also share the optimal location to sit to improve one’s health.

Quotes:

“I no longer think of life being a set of individual species…back to the original James Ludlock idea, the early idea of Gaia and the fact that life and the state of the planet are very closely intertwined, I believe they are very closely intertwined.” (15:42 | Robert Fosbury)
“If you’ve been a nurse working night shifts in a hospital in LED-lit wards for many weeks without having much time in daylight, you will begin to suffer from this. We know that the astronauts on the space station… they’ve had very extensive medical tests carried out on them...They also feel the effects of this ’21st-century scurvy,’ I call it. They suffer, we believe, infrared starvation.” (48:46 | Robert Fosbury)
“It’s a very analogous system, the interaction of starlight with an interstellar nebula…the way that light interacts with the nebula, I think, is the way that the light is interacting with our bodies and with the biosphere in general.” (1:08:27 | Robert Fosbury)
“I get really fed up with people saying, ‘Is quantum mechanics required to understand biology?’ Of course it is! The whole thing is quantum physics. Of course it is.” (1:16:42 | Robert Fosbury)
