During my presentation at the AIM training in Brazil, I spoke about the way the work of Antoine Bovis has been misused by many hundred of thousands of “Would be” radiaesthesists and/or practitioners. Afterwards many people asked me to repeat the Bovis-story, and so I decided to make a post of it.
Antoine Bovis was a French wine taster, who felt there was a correlation between the colour of wine and the taste of it. Together with his friend Simoneton he developed a measuring scale (The Biometer), based upon wavelengthe in Angström (0,1nm), he detected with his pendulum. He found that a colour corresponding to a wavelength of 6000 A, had the right taste.
It took not long before others started using the Biometer to measure the Energy of food, drinks, crops, animals, farmland an even houses. They considered that 6000 Bovis was a neutral value, and that anything below 6000 was bad, and all above 6000 was good. The most crazy and stupid theories were developed, and the radiaesthesists used their pendulums and tensors to look for emanations above 6000 Bovis because here people could receive Energy…the thousands of WebPages and the hundreds of books proclaim the most unbelievable stories, all based on a WRONG interpretation of Antoine Bovis’ work….
Bovis didn’t measure energy! He measured a wavelength, that’s all. This is far away of energy measurements. Let’s take following example:
The wavelength of red light is: λ = c/f = 780 nm
The speed of light is: c = 300.000 km/s
The frequency of red light is: f = c/λ = 3 108 m/s : 780.10-9 m = 3,85.1014 Hz
Planck’s constant is: h = 6,625.10-34 Ws²
So the energy of red light is: E = h.f = 6,625.10-34 Ws² . 3,85.1014 /s = 2,55.10-19 J
We clearly see that if the Wavelength increases the Energy decreases.
So where are all the power places gone now?
I’m not saying that there are no power places, but certainly not ones measured with high Bovis units…

Kiran’s comment :
It is clear why we resonate, Willy and I both like to drink read wine… although of course with the above we could easily calculate that blue wine would be much more energizing for us.
