The Copernican Project was begun in 2017 by a small group of Berkeley Alumni members with research backgrounds in physics & astronomy. Motivated by a friend and family member diagnosed with cancer – we committed ourselves to searching for a deeper understanding of what regulates our metabolism. Our scientific focus has been on domains where both physics and biology are least understood for these domains are typically excluded in biological modeling but have the most potential for revolutionizing the field. Our modeling seeks to include energy exchange coupled to both nuclear and gravitational forces, and to dynamics associated with Earth’s spin and orbital motion. Finding means for incorporating these effects into conventional models will provide an increased understanding of how metabolic order is established within cells and how disorder emerges in all energy-related diseases – from diabetes to cancer. After years of building up the theoretical and correlational arguments suggesting a deeper level of energy regulation exists, we have expanded our scientific network and are now spearheading an ambitious experimental program in collaboration with biologists and space scientists at institutions around the globe to prove the conjecture. Collectively, our mission is to drive a higher level of modern physics into biology for the benefit of human health on Earth and human ventures beyond.
