Description
"Whatever I cannot create, I do not understand," once said Richard Feynman.
Today, the master of quantum physics, Jim Al-Khalili, declares that Quantum Biology "touches the incomprehensible." The potential benefits from the creation of modern technology based on the ancient quantum knowledge of nature are enormous.
Could a "quantum spark" trigger the creation of life "from scratch"?
- What relationship can the strange world of quantum have with the invisible microcosm of living matter?
- How can two remote entities communicate with each other, like in telepathy?
- How do our quantum senses work?
- How do quantum brains think?
- What do the quantum compasses of birds show?
- How does life harness the forces of Chaos as it is born and dies on the edge of the classical and quantum worlds?
- Have you seen synthetic life?
Strange things! Vital quantum paradoxes beyond comprehension. Physicists and chemists are now accustomed to encountering Quantum Mechanics in their work, but biologists, until now, did not "bother" with this strange but powerful theory of the subatomic world. However, times are changing.
Welcome to the kingdom of Quantum Biology!
The "clever" enzymes never stopped using the quantum tunneling phenomenon for a moment to accelerate the chemical reactions of life.
The "super-smart" plants never ceased to exploit quantum coherence for a moment to efficiently supply their precious cells with photosynthetic light.
The migratory birds, while flying, do not "turn off" for a second the quantum entanglement - the magical phenomenon that Einstein called "spooky action at a distance" - as they "pilot" carefree in the Earth's magnetic field.
And the question arises relentlessly:
How do the "fragile" phenomena of quantum mechanics - which until recently we thought were limited to the sterile laboratory environment, at temperatures close to absolute zero - "survive" in our wet, warm, biological world?
