ENERGY CONVERSION. "Fundamental biological processes that involve the conversion of energy into forms that are usable for chemical transformations are quantum mechanical in its nature. These processes involve chemical reactions themselves, light absorption, formation of excited electronic states, transfer of excitation energy, transfer of electrons and protons, etc." https://lnkd.in/eTYijqm View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM GENETICS. "The colour of your eyes, the shape of your nose, your intelligence or propensity for disease are encoded at the quantum level." https://lnkd.in/eYXPebN View in LinkedIn

TURNING POINT. "In 2010, researchers from the first group published evidence of quantum coherence in their bacterial complex at ambient temperatures — showing that coherence is not just an artefact of cryogenic laboratory conditions, but might actually be important to photosynthesis in the real world." (GD Fleming et al.,) https://lnkd.in/eDJed9B View in LinkedIn

BIOLOGICAL HYPERCOMPUTATION. "The framework here is computational, setting out that life is not a standard Turing Machine. Living systems, we claim, hypercompute, and we aim at understanding life not by what it is, but rather by what it does. The distinction is made between classical and nonclassical hypercomputation. We argue that living processes are nonclassical hypercomputation." https://lnkd.in/eMfJx9k View in LinkedIn

CLEVER NATURE. "But discoveries in recent years suggest that nature knows a few tricks that physicists don't: coherent quantum processes may well be ubiquitous in the natural world." https://lnkd.in/eDJed9B View in LinkedIn

MOST PIONEERS have suffered ridicule and more, but for the next few posts we celebrate their audacity to dream. Brilliance is often inscrutable. View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM SOUP. "A quantum phenomenon such as 'coherence', in which the wave patterns of every part of a system stay in step, wouldn't last a microsecond in the tumultuous realm of the cell." https://lnkd.in/eDJed9B View in LinkedIn

THINKING ON THE FRINGE is critical for imaginative pushing of the envelope. Pioneers who speculate often get the ire of their more conservative colleagues, but they are the fresh air that often invigorates a discussion. View in LinkedIn

COMPLEX SYSTEMS. "Biology is a field wherein: a) physics is challenged, so that it is to overcome the traditional experimental and theoretical achievements; b) huge number of degrees of freedom are present and active that complexify the understanding of functions, structures, and dynamics." https://lnkd.in/e3j9PFZ View in LinkedIn

THE REALITY is that the QB energetic considerations of health are in their infancy and far from a reduction to clinical principles or practices. Maybe in another thirty years? View in LinkedIn
