After all, don't depictions of Jesus Christ and various saints show a spiritual "halo" surrounding the head?
I think Kirlian photography actually took pictures of these auras.
I know when I walk around in the winter I get a static electric shock when I touch something metal.

Hi Pat,
I'm familiar with the existence of some of the New Age theories of energy transference, auras and even channeling, but I didn't mention auras or other New Age speculation of energy. Usually termed as some sort of spiritual energy.
I'm asking about science, biophysics, quantum physics, etc. Although, I understand that in each field of study people still specialize and can be totally unfamiliar with studies and discoveries within their own field.
Speaking medically, most dentists know what a cavity is, but don't know what a cavitation is or that the term even exist. It is a term that is only taught to licensed Dentists who study a field called biological dentistry. The term cavitation was coined in the 1930s by dentists involved in medical research and discovered cavities of infection that can develop in the jaw bone under a tooth, which can have devastating effects on a person's health, but with no local symptoms. Many books have been published by Dentists on the subject and there are thousands who have been trained to recognize and treat a cavitation properly, but still it is not taught in standardized dentistry schools.
How many quantum algebra scientists are in the world? Not that many in comparison to other related fields and they understand calculations that confound most in other mathematical sciences.
I'm just looking for someone who has understanding of the narrow field of what I'm asking about.
Pat, I appreciate your responses. I hope others can join in for some direction.
Thanks,
Glenn
