The Sun Within: Atomic Energy and Life

Life on Earth depends on the Sun's atomic energy, incorporated into plants through photosynthesis. Our bodies are made up of elements produced by past generations of stars, connecting us to processes occurring throughout the Universe.The Sun Within explores the connections between nuclear physics and biology and examines the mysterious and fascinating ways that energy sustains life. It reviews the somewhat startling theory that living organisms obtain energy directly from low energy nuclear reactions within their cells, transmuting elements and isotopes. This has been proposed by researchers for many decades, but has not yet been accepted by mainstream science. This book has the potential to revolutionize physics and biology. Courageous scientists who are willing to challenge current dogma, and who are intrigued by these ideas, can test them using techniques suggested by the author.
