[edit] Violation of neutrality principle

A completely rewritten entry for "Biophotonics" was necessary, because the old one only represented the usage of the outsider groups. The new version represents, in extremely fair terms, both the usage in mainstream science and technology and the usage in outsider groups. Sep 16 2004

"...We are surprised about the actions of the German government regarding biophotonics. It seems that Schopenhauer was right. First you´re ridiculed, then violently opposed, last phase, you´re told we do it ourselves, you´ve got nothing new to offer. The correct term in our book is hijacking. The whole biophoton research is now being hijacked and steered into the good old mechanistic directions. We hope you (menas f.a.popp) keep up the good work. Lots of strength and success!" ... from an international magazine ...

[edit] Link cleanup

  • Instead of the report about the UC Davis group, I linked the group's homepage and put it on the top, as it is the NSF co-ordinator for biophotonics
  • Added links to Strathclyde University and U Buffalo sites, as they have nice coverage
  • I also removed the magazine link http://nextwave.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2001/09/18/3 - a compressed version of what's in that article, should go in the Wikipedia article itself!
  • I condensed the three links ultimately lading to the Neuss, Germany group into one.

[edit] Cut out the sectarian junk !

Diurne, please delete your contribution from today. Biophotonics is not science, the same as electronics is not science. The sectarian junk of the Popp group has its place in "Biophoton". And this is already more than Wikipedia should tolerate. If you do not delete your stuff here, we will do it. BioMed 12:59, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
