Corentin Louis Kervran
Corentin Louis Kervran (1901–1983) was a French scientist who proposed the theory of biological transmutation, suggesting that living organisms can transmute one element into another. Kervran's work, largely outside the mainstream scientific consensus, focused on the idea that certain organisms can achieve nuclear reactions at low temperatures, a concept that contradicts established principles of nuclear physics.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Corentin Louis Kervran was born in 1901 in Brittany, France. He pursued his education in the sciences and eventually became involved in research in various fields, including biology and geology. Throughout his career, Kervran held a deep interest in the natural processes of living organisms, which led him to his controversial theories on biological transmutation.
Theory of Biological Transmutation[edit | edit source]
Kervran's theory posits that living organisms can transmute light elements into other elements during their biological processes. For example, he suggested that a chicken could convert potassium into calcium to form eggshells, a process that would require nuclear transmutation. Kervran believed that such transformations occur at low energy levels, without the high energy and radiation associated with conventional nuclear reactions.
Despite his extensive writings and anecdotal evidence, Kervran's theories were met with skepticism and criticism from the scientific community. Critics argue that his observations can be explained through conventional biochemical processes, such as the absorption and utilization of minerals from the environment.
Publications[edit | edit source]
Kervran published several books and articles detailing his experiments and theories on biological transmutation. His most notable works include:
- Biological Transmutations
- Preuves en géologie et physique de transmutations à faible énergie
Criticism and Legacy[edit | edit source]
The scientific community has largely dismissed Kervran's theories due to a lack of empirical evidence and the violation of established laws of nuclear physics. Critics point out that the proposed low-energy nuclear reactions contradict the known requirements for nuclear transmutation, such as extremely high temperatures and pressures.
Despite this, Kervran's ideas have found a niche following among certain alternative science and holistic health communities. His work has spurred discussions on the possibilities of low-energy nuclear reactions and their potential applications in medicine and energy production.
