For many years, our research group has been studying a phenomenon initially discovered in biological models: a solution of a substance subjected to vibration treatment exerts a modifying effect on an intact sample of the same substance, altering its physicochemical and biological properties. This effect also occurs without direct contact, when the vibration-treated and intact substances are kept in separate vials. Since the emergence of this modifying effect requires minimal energy input, we suggest that it is mediated by pre-existing supramolecular mechanisms. During vibration, the molecules deviate from a specific axis of symmetry (a local stationary state), which likely activates an evolutionarily developed supramolecular control over the molecular spatial structure. While testing this hypothesis, we observed that the modifying effect can be detected at a significant distance. This finding indicates that the phenomenon cannot be explained solely by the direct electromagnetic radiation of the vibrating molecules. Instead, the vibration treatment remotely alters the electromagnetic environment of the intact substance, thereby inducing the modifying effect. While non-trivial quantum effects might underlie this process, we favor the assumption that other fundamental interactions influence the electromagnetic field.
