A company seeking alternative covid-19 treatments has a surprising backer, plus bad news on alcohol and more on falling toast, in Feedback’s weekly musings
“At QuantBioRes, we work in utilizing unique and novel Resonant Recognition Model ,” we read on the company’s website. “The RRM is a biophysical model based on findings that certain periodicities/frequencies within the distribution of energies of free electrons along the protein are critical for protein biological function and interaction with protein receptors and other targets.”, we discover that, in the case of covid-19, the crucial frequency is 0.3145.
These things can take time. In the meantime, we point to the existence of highly effective vaccines, whatever your resonant frequency may be.David Myers writes from the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland – nice work if you can get it – asking us to sit down as we imbibe the revelation contained in an article from CNN that.
Others were more exercised by the mention of a dressing placed over a “puss-filled wound”. This seems to imply a degree of veneration of the feline form beyond even that familiar from ancient Egypt. Ken Hawkins wonders whether it was discovered using a CAT scan, a line that we will file under “timeless”.

Although we shouldn’t be at all surprised if a double-buttered slice would never hit the floor, but instead remain suspended slightly above it, permanently rotating, unsure of which way up to land. You might call that a physics-violating perpetual motion machine; we just call it resonance.
