About this listen

Understanding Insect Infrared Detection. Plants and insects communicate through emissions in the infrared frequency range. Why certain insects are attracted only to certain plants, the role of pheromones work in nature, and how plants under stress literally signal insects to come devour them. Deep research into how insects are communicating on the infrared band of frequencies, how they can "read" the plants from a "birds perspective", choosing those plants to feed on, which are weak because those plants have a weaker infrared emission. New concept and knowledge on insect/plant relationships, and points to a whole new way of understanding .


Philip S. Callahan, Ph. D., schooled as an entomologist, was stationed in Ireland as a radio technician during World War II. He has written two books dealing specifically with his discoveries there of the seemingly magical properties of the ancient Irish round towers and of certain rocks and rock powders. Dr. Callahan explains that a particle moving faster than the speed of light is called a tachyon, and a message sent by such a particle would actually arrive before it was sent. He also states that he published, in 1986, the first experimental proof that tachyon particles actually exist. (One of the world's great unsolved mysteries is why Dr. Callahan has never been honored with the Nobel Prize in physics for such an amazing and historic achievement.)
