PS Neither the egg fic nor the vegan freak have anything to do with M/gastar before you try it. That's all pure Starscream stanning, baby. And one of them is St/rop, the supposedly ""good""" ship LOL.

Riddenbocker’s Flight - A Tale from the Columbia Army Air Corps

The first time Eddie ever saw anything beyond a crow flying was when the Enclave had swept down the valley towards the Barracks. The evacuation was terrifying, his mom was carrying him to the shelters and everyone was screaming, he can still hear the roar of the machine guns in the distance; their tracers racing up to the most beautiful machines he had ever seen. Despite all they were, despite what they carried in their metal bellies; they were the most beautiful things he had ever seen.

The wooden wheels, sickly-tan canvas, and barely kept together frame of the C-Series “Jenny” that swept over his head was homely mistress compared to the vertibirds, but this bird was his. Cheap, barely efficient, and weighing in at two-tons, his “Jenny” was the only plane he knew of that was West of the Mississippi in two hundred years. There was also the very real chance he would be the first pilot to die West of the Mississippi that would die in two hundred years. Back in Columbia proper, the amount of “proper” salvaged planes could be counted with someone’s fingers. The rest were junkers based off of ancient designs nearly four hundred years old made from scrap parts and his “Jenny” was one.

Walking towards the cockpit, his boots sunk into the muck of the makeshift airfield along the broken road between Sett and Vault 57. According to the reports he got from the Captain, some crazy scout and a bunch of scaldies had encountered a whole nest of Deathclaws along the stretch of pavement. They weren’t around no more all the same and it beat the tato farm outside of town they had been preparing for the plane since they had arrived. It took days to put together, days to clear the cars from the road, and days of briefings before the Captain was confident to let Eddie go up into the air the first time.

Since then he’d been nearly flying non-stop, an abundance of fusion cores was the only thing the expedition had a surplus of. Eddie had made a few reconnaissance missions over the city known as the Burg and an unknown town to the North along the edges of the lake. It was maddening trying to make maps of either of the towns, the Northern port one especially due to its haphazard like placement of buildings that seemed to spill out from its center. Still, the details were still there and a makeshift map of the surrounding wasteland were being made. Despite repeated requests to the Captain, Eddie had not been authorized to use the expedition’s camera yet.

It was especially surprising when Lieutenant Cantwell hopped into the backseat of the fighter with him instead of his usual co-pilot, the cold gaze of the officer was enough to keep Eddie from asking too many questions as he made a motion for the ground crew to start the engine. The mix of workers from Sett and the mechanics who survived the journey North rushed around the plane before the craft sputtered to life, Eddie’s voice carrying out into his radio as they slowly began to lurch forward; “Haven’t got a lot of briefing’ on this assignment sir, where we headin’?”

“We’re goin’ North,” Cantwell said as he leaned back into his seat. Although Eddie couldn’t see it, the pause in the man’s voice as they lifted off the bumpy runway betrayed the Lieutenant’s unease. Eddie didn’t blame the man, pilots had a high casualty rate even back home; especially when they flew low to the ground for recon. Junkers weren’t too fast and it didn’t take much to bring them down. “We got a report from one of the scouts about a town relatively close, we are goin’ to breeze over and get some photos.”

“Photos?” Eddie said over the mic with no shortage of surprise as he adjusted the plane’s bearing North as they climbed slowly upwards into the sky. The ride exceptionally bumpy as they flew against the wind. Taking a deep breath, his nose dried up as the air grew cold. Lifting up a hand, he tugged a thick wool scarf over his face.

“Yes, photos...the Captain approved the use of the camera for the next few operations...whatever is goin’ on North of us is stirrin’ the wasteland into a frenzy,” Cantwell said as he let his mic on for a bit too long. “Not to mention the Burg gettin’ fussy…”

“Pardon, sir?” Eddie said with a light chuckle, banking the plane over a patch of clouds as he kept the plane’s compass pointed along the proper azimuth. Resting the stick between his knees, his hands lifted up for a few moments to check the charge on the auto-laser. While he would have preferred a machine gun, the two automatic laser rifles grafted to the plane’s fuselage were good enough. Back when they had to worry about Enclave vertibirds, the lasers were the only thing light enough to fit on the plane without weighing it down too much that could still penetrate armor. What damage they actually managed to do to vertibirds had been questionable, but at the very least it brought down a handful.

“Don’t worry ‘bout it Mister Riddenbocker,” Cantwell replied in a professional tone. A silence settling between them for a few hours as they drifted peacefully through the clouds. It was hard to forget sometimes that the world had ended beneath them. Despite all the terror and all the destruction, none of it found its way into the sky; Eddie liked that about these scouting missions. If the Lieutenant wasn’t with him, he might have tuned into Sergeant Hendrix’s broadcasts or even Great Lakes Radio, the DJ on GLR was a bit more charming to him than the old bastard Hendrix. Some of the people around the Sett swooned at the man’s voice, but the legless ghoul wasn’t exactly the most charming creature in Eddie’s eyes.

After another hour adrift, Eddie began to bring them down slowly from the clouds. Their engine sputtering and barking as they made themselves known to the earth below. The markings underneath the wings were that of the Army Air Corps, a gesture almost entirely lost upon the wasteland at large. More often than not it earned Eddie an occasional pot shot, he had even gotten a small hole in his wing over the Burg a few days back. Once the ground underneath them became more vivid, it was clear there was not a town in sight on the horizon.

“Looks like we might have overshot it, sir. We’ve gone a bit more than the distance to get us to that port town at our current asimuth...we should circle back and see if we can’t find it at a lower level,” Eddie said as he began to turn the plane slowly. The junker jerking as the wind slapped against its wings at an odd angle. The bark of a few rifles in the distance shook Eddie as the Lieutenant’s voice tore out across the raido, “Where is that comin’ from?”

Breaking the plane out of its turn, Eddie searched around him out of the cockpit for the movement along the ground below. The rifle fire rang out again, the muffled cries of screams down below drifting up through the cold air as the plane twisted around in another short maneuver as it rose back up into the clouds, “Don’t know sir, but it ain’t at us…”

There hadn’t been a whistling sound that meant the bullets were aimed at them and from the lack of screaming from the Lieutenant, none of the shots had even come close. With a curious scrunch of his brow, Eddie brought them down a bit lower; peaking the nose of the plane out of the clouds as he began a shallow dive and searched the horizon.

As luck would have it, directly ahead and perhaps a eight hundred meters a trio of mounted soldiers were pursuing nearly a dozen people. Eddie had to bank the plane right, keeping it steady as he confirmed what he thought he saw with a pair of binoculars. Three riders holding rifles and firing into a retreating mass of tribals of varying sizes. The riders were looking at them, but the tribals seemed to be the priority to them. Their mounts looked like massive radstags, bigger than anything back in Columbia. “Sir, we got some...soldiers firing into what look like civilians.”

“...Hekat’s people…” Cantwell muttered out of the radio as he checked the binoculars from his own seat. “Mister Riddenbocker, what are the rules of engagement with unknown elements from an aircraft?”

“I mean...well...they gotta shoot at me first...and it looks likes they’re playin’ it safe. Then I gotta call it in or have a witness,” Eddie said with a short chuckle, it was basic knowledge from his time at the institute. Keeping his eyes focused watching the chaos below, the mounted riders had taken an interest in them now; but they kept firing into the fleeing tribals.

A sharp gunshot rang out from behind Eddie, a bullet whistling over his head far too close for his comfort. The man screamed a series of curses that would make a Madam blush as he jerked the plane’s controls, Cantwell’s voice ringing out of the radio, “Mister Riddenbocker, you’ve been shot at. As your witness I believe the fire came from the riders down below. Engage them.”

Eddie turned around to face the Lieutenant, the officer in question shamelessly putting his sidearm back into his holster from the backseat. Another rifle shot carried out over the wind below them, the sound of the engine hanging between them before Eddie nodded his head slowly.

The shot had come from the riders.

Banking the plane low, their shallow dive began as they drifted down towards the riders. Biting his bottom lip as two riders stayed focused on the tribals. Only one of the soldiers had his eyes focused on the plane, the rider still holding his fire. Eddie pressed his hands around the handle of the stick, the autolasers spitting out their rays in a short arch that tore through the two distracted riders. The plane banked hard into a sharp climb as the remaining rider began to fire rapidly at Eddie with a rifle, the cries of the tribals behind them as they scattered at the sight of the flying craft.

The occasional whistle of a bullet by the cockpit confirmed that there was in fact ground fire now, the lone remaining ride firing whatever he had at the craft. A bullet flew wide and tore a hole through the wing above Eddie’s head with a short ‘whiff ‘, a rather accurate shot against something he’d likely never seen before. Whoever they were pissing off knew how to use a rifle as well. Twisting the craft in a short arch, they twisted to face their target as they drew back for another pass.

The bullets continued to rise up towards them, but from their cry and quiet whine they were falling short now and going under their belly. The rifleman down below compensating too much for their dive. The benefit, one that Eddie would readily would admit, about laser weapons is the accurate lack of bullet drop. From three hundred meters away, the autolasers began cutting their way through the woodline again, the rider attempting to flee but was caught as Eddie swung his rear flaps in a quick shake to scatter the spread of the lasers into a wild field of fire; a trick he had seen Enclave vertibirds do back in the day. Made it harder to predict where they were firing on their final pass.

The rider fell from his saddle, turning to ash as the lasers managed to atomize him with a clear flash as they hummed by overhead. Leaning back into his seat, Eddie felt his heart stop beating heavy in his chest as he took a few deep breaths. Turning the plane, the man turned the wings to flash the old and ancient symbol underneath the wings to tribals below before drifting back up into the clouds, “I think the recon is gonna have to wait, sir. Spent a lot of ammunition in those passes to make sure I got those fuckers…”

“Roger that, Mister Riddenbocker. Start takin’ us back to Fort Sett, I’ll radio it in...good work...good work,” Cantwell replied with a crack of a smile that Eddie had never seen on the rather stoic man. Turning his head back to the compass, the wind cooled the sweat running down his brow. He wasn’t sure if he had made the right call or not, but he wouldn’t have to worry about that till they landed. For now, all that was in the air was peace; and that was okay.

It's Rustic and Charmed by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: It's Rustic and Charmed, Not plain and simple It's a barn in the mountains, What an impressive view With an evening arrival, I had not noticed it But seen in the daylight A new day begins I can make out a history Enchanted life, I am sure Skies painted, wisps of clouds New Mexico bound. Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning at a barn I came across while staying at a Bed & Breakfast in Cuba, NM. In composing the image, I wanted to align myself so that the barn was centered in the image, more or less. The rest was deciding what to include to add interest to the setting with the tall tree above and some ridges off in the distance with the mountains. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 7 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

ABSTRACT

Despite great progress in neuroscience, there are still fundamental unanswered questions about the brain, including the origin of subjective experience and consciousness. Some answers might rely on new physical mechanisms. Given that biophotons have been discovered in the brain, it is interesting to explore if neurons use photonic communication in addition to the well-studied electro-chemical signals. Such photonic communication in the brain would require waveguides. Here we review recent work [S. Kumar, K. Boone, J. Tuszynski, P. Barclay, and C. Simon, Scientific Reports 6, 36508 (2016)] suggesting that myelinated axons could serve as photonic waveguides. The light transmission in the myelinated axon was modeled, taking into account its realistic imperfections, and experiments were proposed both in vivo and in vitro to test this hypothesis. Potential implications for quantum biology are discussed.

INTRODUCTION

Over the past decades a substantial number of facts has been discovered in the field of brain research. However, the fundamental question of how neurons, or more specifically all particles involved in the biological processes in the brain, contribute to mental abilities such as consciousness is still unanswered. The true explanation to this question might rely on physical processes other than those that have been discovered so far. One interesting candidate to focus on is biophotons, which might serve as supplementary information carriers in the brain in addition to the well established electro-chemical signals. Biophotons – which are photons ranging from near-IR to near-UV frequency and emitted without any enhancement or excitation– have been observed in many organisms such as bacteria (1), fungi (2), germinating seeds (3), plants (4), animal tissue 1 arXiv:1708.08887v1 [physics.bio-ph] 23 Aug 2017 Are there optical communication channels in the brain? cultures (5), and different parts of the human body (6–9), including the brain (10–15). These biophotons are produced by the decay of electronically excited species which are created chemically during oxidative metabolic processes (16, 17) and can contribute to communication between cells (18). Moreover, several experimental studies show the effects of light on neurons’ and, generally, the brain’s function (19–21). The existence of biophotons and their possible effects on the the brain along with the fact that photons are convenient carriers of information raises the question whether there could be optical communication in the brain. For the sources and detectors of the optical communication process in the brain, mitochondrial respiration (22, 23) or lipid oxidation (24), and centrosomes (25) or chromophores in the mitochondria (26) have been proposed, respectively. It has also been observed that opsins, photoreceptor protein molecules, exist in the brains of birds (27, 28), mammals (29–32), and more general vertebrates (33) and even in other parts of their bodies (34, 35) as well. Another essential element for this optical communication, which is not well established yet, is the existence of physical links to connect all of these spatially separated agents in a selective way. In the dense and (seemingly) disordered environment of the brain, waveguide channels for traveling photons would be the only viable way to achieve the targeted optical communication processes. Mitochondria and microtubules in neurons have been introduced as the candidates for such waveguides (36–39). However, they are not suitable in reality due to their small and inhomogeneous structure for light guidance over proper distances in the brain. Ref. (40) proposed myelinated axons as potential biophoton waveguides in the brain. The proposal is supported by a theoretical model and numerical results taking into account real imperfections. Myelin sheath (formed in the central nervous system by a kind of glia cell called oligodendrocyte) is a lamellar structure surrounding the axon and has a higher refractive index (41) than both the inside of the axon and the interstitial fluid outside (see Fig. 1a) which let the myelin sheath to guide the light inside itself for optical communications. This compact sheath also increases the propagation speed of an action potential (via saltatory conduction) based on its insulating property (42). There has been a few indirect experimental evidence for light conduction by axons (12, 43, 44). Another related and interesting experiment has shown that a certain type of glia cells, known as Muller cells, ¨ guide light in mammalian eyes (45, 46). Ref. (40) also proposed experiments to test the existence of the optical waveguides in the brain. One interesting property of optical communication channels is that they can also transmit quantum information. Quantum effects in biological systems are being studied in different areas such as photosynthesis (47, 48), avian magnetoreception (49, 50), and olfaction (51, 52). There is an increasing number of conjectures about the role of quintessential quantum features such as superposition and entanglement (53) in the brain (15, 38, 54–56). The greatest challenge when considering quantum effects in the brain or any biological system in general is environmentally induced decoherence (57), which leads to the suppression of these quantum phenomena. However, some biological processes can be fast and may show quantum features before they are destroyed by the environment. Moreover, nuclear spins can have coherence times of tens of milliseconds in the brain (58, 59). A recent proposal on “quantum cognition” suggests even longer coherence times of nuclear spins (56), but relies on quantum information transmission via molecule transport, which is very slow. In contrast, photons are the fastest and most robust carriers for quantum information over long distances, which is why currently man-made quantum networks rely on optical communication channels (typically optical fibers) between spins (60, 61).

Results

To show that myelinated axons could serve as the waveguides for traveling biophotons in the brain, Ref. (40) solved the three dimensional electromagnetic field equations numerically in different conditions, using Lumerical’s software packages FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) Solutions and MODE Solutions. These software packages solve Maxwell’s equations numerically, allowing the optical properties of dielectric structures defined over a mesh with subwavelength resolution to be simulated. The refractive indices of the fluid outside of the axon, the axon, and the myelin sheath were taken close to 1.34, 1.38 and 1.44 respectively (see Fig. 1a), which are consistent with their typical values (41, 62, 63). These indexes let the myelin sheath guide the light inside itself. The ratio of the radius of the axon, r to the outer radius of the myelin sheath r 0 (g-ratio) is taken equal to 0.6 for the most of the simulations, close to the experimental values (64). In reality, the radius of the myelinated axons in the brain changes from 0.2 microns to close to 10 microns (65). For the purpose of guiding light inside the myelin sheath, Ref. (40) considered the wavelength of the observed biophotons in the brain which is from 200 nm to 1300 nm. Since several proteins in the environment of the axons strongly absorb at wavelengths close to 300nm, a wavelength range of the transmitted light from the shortest permissible wavelength, λmin = 400nm, to the longest one, λmax, was chosen to avoid the absorption and confine the light well in the myelin sheath. λmax is chosen to the upper bound of the observed biophoton wavelength (1300 nm) or the thickness of the myelin sheath (denoted by d), whichever is smaller. Besides λmin and λmax, an intermediate wavelength was considered, denoted by λint , corresponding to the central permissible frequency (mid-frequency of the permissible frequency range) in the simulations. In the following section we discuss the guided modes in the myelinated axons and their transmissions in nodal and paranodal regions and even in the presence of the imperfections such as bends, varying cross-sections, and non-circular cross-sections.

Optical transmission in myelinated axons

Within the neuron, one can identify numerous intra-cellular structures that can function as potential scatterers, i.e. sources of waveguide loss. They are located both inside the axon and outside of the axon. Intra-cellular structures include cell organelles, for example, mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum, lipid vesicles, as well as the many filaments of the cytoskeleton, namely microtubules, microfilaments and neurofilaments. Extra-cellular structures include microglia, and astrocytes. However, the electromagnetic modes which are spatially confined within the myelin sheath, should not be affected by the presence of these structures. These biophoton modes considered here would be able to propagate in a biological waveguide provided its dimension is close to or larger than the wavelength of the light. Fig. 1b shows the numerically calculated magnitude of the electric field of a cylindrically symmetric eigenmode of an axon with radius r = 3µm and myelin sheath radius r 0 = 5µm for the wavelength 0.612µm. This electric field is azimuthally polarized as depicted is Fig. 1c and it is similar to the TE01 mode of a conventional fiber (66) which has higher refractive index of the core than that of the cladding. It is important to note that azimuthal polarization would prevent modal dispersion in the birefringent myelin sheath. Importantly, its optical axes are oriented radially (67). It can be readily established that there are hundreds of potential guided modes allowed to exist given the thickness of myelin sheath. Consequently, biophotons that could be generated by a source in the axons (e.g. mitochondria or recombination of reactive oxygen species) could readily interact with these modes as determined by mode-specific coupling coefficients. While we lack detailed knowledge of the particulars for these interactions, for the sake of simplicity and ease of illustration we select a single mode and examine its transmission. It is interesting to analyze transmission in the presence of optical imperfections such as discontinuities, bends and varying cross-sectional diameters. In this connection, we simulated short axonal segments due to computational limitations and extrapolated the results for the full length of an axon.

Transmission in nodal and paranodal regions

A myelinated axon has periodically unmyelinated segments, called Nodes of Ranvier, which are approximatly 1µm long (68) (while the whole axon length varies from 1 mm to the order of a meter). Here, we discuss the transmission in the Ranvier nodes and at the edges of the nodes, the paranodes. The configuration of myelin sheath is special in the paranodal regions (see Fig. 2a). There are many layers making up the compact myelin sheath and at the edge of each node, almost all of the layers are in contact with the core (bared axon) with a small pocket of cytoplasm. That’s because each layer moving from the innermost outward is longer than the one below. However, for thick myelin sheaths, many cytoplasmic pockets cannot reach the surface of the bare axon, but end on inner layers. Thus, the length of paranodal regions is dependent on the thickness of the myelin sheath. We call the ratio of the length of paranode, lparanode, to the thickness of the myelin sheat, d, p-ratio and take its value close to 5 in our simulations based on the realistic values (69). Fig. 2a displays the model of Ref. (40) for two adjacent paranodal regions with the node in between, and Fig. 2b shows the magnitude of the electric field profile in the longitudinal direction (along the length of the axon), EFPL, as a cylindrically symmetric input mode crosses this region. Fig. 2c shows the power transmission in the guided modes as a function of p-ratio for three wavelengths, 0.40 µm, 0.61 µm, and 1.30 µm. For the transmission, there are two main losses: divergence or scattering of the light beam. Shorter wavelengths scatter more but diverge less. Thus, in Fig. 2c, for small p-ratios, shorter wavelengths have higher transmission and as the effect of divergence is dominant in this region and the shorter wavelengths diverge less. However, for the large p-ratios, the effect of scattering is dominant and since the higher wavelengths scatter less, and have a higher transmission. Fig. 2d–f compares the transmission percentage for different axon radii, wavelengths, and p–ratios. Although in Fig. 2d, the behavior of the transmission as a fuction of axon radius is independent of p–ratios for the longest permissible wavelength, it can be concluded that for the most loosely confined modes (λmax) transmission increases in thicker axons. It’s also possible that for long wavelengths, a fraction of the light diverging into the axon comes back into the myelin sheath at the end of the paranodal region and not all the light that diverges is lost. This can be an explanation for not well-defined dependency of the transmission on the paranodal lengths (see Fig. 2d). In, Fig. 2e, and Fig. 2f, for p-ratio = 2.5, based on our intuition from Fig. 2c, the divergence is dominant. Here, the thickness of the axon plays a role in the transmission such that the thicker the axon the divergence is less and the light is transmitted more. However, for larger p–ratios, the scattering is dominant and the light scatters more in thick axons. To summarize, for small p–ratios (∼2.5), the well confined modes (shorter wavelengths) transmit better while for large p–ratios (∼5 or greater), the loosely confined ones (longer wavelengths) transmit better. Thicker axons yield higher transmission for all wavelengths with small p–ratios while it’s inverse only for the shorter wavelengths with large p–ratios. The transmission after several paranodal regions can be roughly estimated by following the intuition of exponentiating the transmission through one (see Supplementary Information of Ref (40))...

Discussion

In this review of Ref. (40) we have discussed how light conduction in a myelinated axon is feasible even in the presence of realistic imperfections in the neuron. We have also described future experiments that could validate or falsify this model of biophoton transmission (40). It is also worth addressing a few related questions. It is of interest to identify possible interaction mechanisms between biophotons and nuclear spins within the framework of quantum communication. Spin chemistry research (87) determined effects whereby electron and nuclear spins affect chemical reactions. These effects can also involve photons. In particular, a class of cryptochrome proteins can be photo-activated resulting in the production of a pair of radicals per event, with correlated electronic spins. This effect has been hypothesized to explain bird magnetoreception (49). It has been recently shown by theoretical considerations that interactions between electron and nuclear spins in cryptochromes are of critical importance to the elucidation of the precision of magnetoreception effects (50). Importantly for this topic, cryptochrome complexes are found in the eyes of mammals and they are also magnetosensitive at the molecular level (88). Therefore, if similar proteins can be found in the inner regions of the human brain, this could provide the required interface between biophotons and nuclear spins. However, for individual quantum communication links to form a larger quantum network with an associated entanglement process involving many distant spins, the nuclear spins interfacing with different axons must interact coherently. This, most likely, requires close enough contact between the interacting spins. The involvement of synaptic junctions between individual axons may provide such a proximity mechanism. We should also address the question of the potential relevance of optical communication between neurons with respect to consciousness and the binding problem. A specific anatomical question that arises is whether brain regions implicated in consciousness (89) (e.g. claustrum (90, 91), the thalamus, hypothalamus and amygdala (92), or the posterior cerebral cortex (89)) have myelinated axons with sufficient diameter to allow light transmission. A major role of the myelin sheath as an optical waveguide could provide a better understanding of the causes of the various diseases associated with it (e.g. multiple sclerosis (93)) and hence lead to a design and implementation of novel therapies for these pathologies. Let us note that, following Ref. (40), we have focused our discussion here on guidance by myelinated axons. However, light guidance by unmyelinated axons is also a possibility, as discussed in more detail in the supplementary information of Ref. (40). Finally, with the advantages optical communication provides in terms of precision and speed, it is indeed a wonder why biological evolution would not fully exploit this modality. On the other hand, if optical communication involving axons is harnessed by the brain, this would reveal a remarkable, hitherto unknown new aspect of the brains functioning, with potential impacts on unraveling fundamental issues of neuroscience.
