I had never heard of this before. Sounds really cool and really scary.

I had to look up how it supposedly works. Interesting, if true, but there's the rub. Optimistic, but it just sounds too good to be true.

I saw an interview on Newsmax earlier and they were interviewing a retired Secret Service agent regarding the Butler shooting. What he stated led me to believe that it was already available for use and the USSS could have used it that day but did not. That's what prompted me to look it up.

Like anything (potentially) good, there's always the bad to go along with it. I can foresee yuge invasions of privacy with it.

The upside is that if/when it gets into mainstream medical use, screening colonoscopies will be a thing of the past.

I figured this would generate more interest. Here's a "in a nutshell" explanation of the tech for those not wanting to watch the video.

Groundbreaking Technology from Base Molecular Resonance™ Technologies Will Change Medical, Security, and Military Sectors with a Single Scan

STUART, Fla., Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new molecular detection technology announced today by Base Molecular Resonance™ Technologies, LLC (BMRT) is poised to transform the fields of cancer diagnostics, public safety, law enforcement, security, and military services with a simple scan. This groundbreaking technology utilizes resonant frequencies to detect particle interactions at subatomic levels and can detect any substance based on its nuclear composition. So far, this is proven to include every element on the periodic table, including sensitive high-energy targets and up to 200 cancers and other diseases, with endless applications in nearly every industry.

Every molecular structure, from narcotics to gunpowder to cancer, emits a resonant frequency that is detectable using the company's revolutionary technology, according to BMRT CEO & Co-Founder Robert "Bo" Short. As a result, BMRT received a fully issued patent for this technology in November 2022, and the technology's accuracy has been confirmed by third-party double-blind studies.

"Utilizing a special transmitter and receiver, our device sends and receives frequencies specific to those materials being targeted," said Short. "This results in instantaneous detection of a specified element, compound, or biological substance, even at extended distances. We believe this discovery will have a dramatic impact on mankind, with the potential to save millions of lives, billions of dollars, and prevent untold pain and suffering."

BMR™ applications include medical uses like early detection screenings for cancers and other diseases that are often difficult to detect until later stages. "Early cancer detection can have an enormous impact on life-saving treatment protocols," said Short. "BMR™ can detect cancerous cells at extremely low levels long before there are clinical signs, and early enough to significantly impact patient outcomes."

With the ability to detect any substance at a subatomic level, BMR's impact extends far beyond healthcare into public safety, law enforcement, and even the frontlines of military service, where instantaneous detection at extended distances is of primary concern and can make a significant difference in the outcome of a potential threat. According to Lee Duke, BMRT President & Co-Founder, "BMR™ can detect elements of gunpowder encased in a .22 caliber bullet at a distance of 75 feet, the magazine clip of an AR-15 through multiple walls at great distances, alert troops entering new and unknown areas to the presence of IED and other explosives, as well as armed enemy combatants. This technology allows us to detect those substances instantaneously and with extreme accuracy," said Duke. "Early detection with BMR™ has the potential to identify would-be shooters before they enter a building, keep our troops safe no matter where they are located, and give law enforcement and military the information they need to save lives."

BMRT is currently negotiating agreements in the medical, security, and military sectors, and expects to launch devices into the marketplace within the next two years.

Star Trek Tricorder shit right there…

A) So, it’s a NMRI, at a distance.

B) If this was real, it seems like it would have been classified/have a heck of a lot of DoD money behind it.

I'm thinking more along the lines of ham radio. Each molecular substance emits its own unique frequency and the machine (antenna) has the ability to be "resonant" or pick up and identify those frequencies.

Seems real. As the article states, they've received a "fully issued patent" for the technology.

What happens when: insurance companies get your scan, employers get your scan, overzealous police are able to use this?
The positives are obvious: human remains and kidnapped kids etc.
It seems like almost all privacy will be lost. That’s scary tech.

A) Apparently the current term is NMR for chemistry - makes sense, NMRI always was a little confusing.

B) The physics isn’t physicing for me.

Unless, it’s really has gone Star Trek and they’re somehow able to use cosmic radiation interference, I don’t know where they are getting the energy source to go through clothes/buildings/etc for detection.

If they had achieved that level of analyzing and detecting cosmic radiation interference, it seems like every scientific mag would be screaming about him for the Nobel Prize in darn near everything.

It’s all, essentially, RADAR, which is really just SONAR, which is all the same as listening to determine location, and type of noise, really carefully. (EG, are those the footsteps of your younger brother, Mother, or Father?)

A patent does not mean it’s real, or that it works.

The enterprising entrepreneur could make a fortune with Faraday clothing.

In all seriousness, I sometimes wonder if tech is advancing too rapidly for us to adapt to it.

I’m calling horse pucky.

If they had actually “done” these things, they would be in production and partnership and rapidly deploying by now.

Minute, and I mean minute, chance that the exec team are idiots, and are planning to make imaging tools, themselves, and drones themselves, etc, and are wrecking the value of the IP. (I have seen that happen, once, but every mega corp in tech was trying to buy them.)

Before anyone gives these people any money, verify that their “advisor board” are who they say they are, and that they are aware of being on the advisory board

This looks like a REALLY common scam in tech.

All honesty, 2 years to table is pretty fucking fast in research…

Eh, it doesn’t “vibe” right.

They give a release about using it to detect avian influenza/other animal diseases, but not anything about a study/partnership/etc with a known ag school or entity, in a time when the poultry industry is hemorrhaging cash.

Their advisory board are not oncologists/etc - but it’s supposed to be good for detecting cancer.

Again, if it were true, everyone would be chomping at the bit to bring it into their program and facility.

They keep referring to one study, which was performed in the UK.

I don’t follow physics that much, but it’s not MIT/CalTech/GA Tech/Max Plank, etc.

An AR mag through multiple walls?
Sounds like BS to me!

Is this or will it be a publicly traded company? My detectors are sensing another Theranos scam.

It's probably snake oil somehow, but on the other hand investing a few bucks in tricorder tech in the early 21st century might buy you a moon of your own someday...if they figure out immortality while they are at it.

In my chemistry analysis work, I was initially surprised when the chemists couldn’t scan a liquid and tell me what was in it. They asked me to let them know first my suspicions.

From each scan, from whatever instrument, the output waveform is always interpreted. But it is judged by comparing to a library of known samples. If chemical X has never been scanned, and is present in the unknown sample, the interpretation will never propose X.

So, if this system is able to identify any particular material, they must have scanned individual samples of all materials.

This seems overwhelming to me.

Perhaps they can scan for and identify bullshit?
