So you take this known and documented knowledge of lipid mechanics[0], and apply that to geometry of pathogens.
Very much like electroporation[1] but, with magnetic fields and RF instead of direct application of voltage. but try and research: "Mortal Oscillatory Rate" or "Raymond Rife" and be inundated with disinformation and BS.
Resonance is not a new or strange concept, by any means, we have no shortage of study around these ideas, take nuclear magnetic resonance[2] for example. That's an example on a very low level, then we can see this with electroporation and ultrasonification techniques at a much higher level.
It's very frustrating, however, as soon as it's applied in a field that is deemed derogatory to the pharmaceutical industry, suddenly it's woo and nonsense, apparently. We have documented evidence of these phenomenon at many levels, and the high and low level effects are pretty well understood, but as soon as it's applied in the middle somewhere, to actual pathogens, then, it's suddenly quackery, apparently.
Meanwhile, at least we do have some research being done on these things and it's VERY promising:
Targeted treatment of cancer with radiofrequency electromagnetic fields amplitude-modulated at tumor-specific frequencies[3]
Destruction of bacterial spores by phenomenally high efficiency non-contact ultrasonic transducers[4]
System for Cleansing Organisms from Water[5]
I think most of the claims of quackery are just a knee-jerk reaction and it leads to throwing the baby out with the bath water; just because some asshats have made fake devices to exploit vulnerable people doesn't mean the technology they claimed to use is fake or nonsense.
What are you going on about? Vibrations or something? What does that have to do with this article, about how mathematicians helped solve the minimal genetic information necessary to fit inside of, and encode for, the construction of ostensibly complex geometric structures of viral capsids.
I don't know how to make it much simpler, but I'll try to ELI5 for you.
Geometry has a direct relationship to resonance[0]. If you can target the specific resonance frequency of the capsid, you can destroy it with a wave form.
If you break the capsid, the virus will not survive.
Resonance can be induced in many ways, such as with ultrasound[1], microwaves[2], magnetic/dielectric fields[3], light[4][5], etc...
Obviously, this isn't fool-proof, as resonance can also actually assist viruses with permeating cell membranes[6]. However, these concepts can be applied to many areas of biosciences. We know magnetic fields can also disrupt cancer[7].
Anyway, to further elaborate... If we know how specific RNA in viri build their capsid shells, then we can theoretically compute the specific resonant frequencies of different viri by sequencing their DNA/RNA etc... It's all connected, you see.
Further, we know that viri can cause cells to become cancerous through RNA/DNA mutation[8][9].
My point is, killing viruses in your body by means of resonance COULD feasibly assist with curing cancer, or at least, can prevent it from spreading. Obviously it has nothing to do with metastasizing cells, but it can prevent more viri from giving more cells bad mutations.
