Quantum Biology

Share |

The ongoing revolution in medical science, molecular biology, may in time give way to a yet smaller and far more complex scale of quantum biology. Coherence, entanglement and "spooky behavior at a distance" may once again re-define medical science.

Even now, evidence of quantum physics emerges in plant photosynthesis and the shore-birds ability to navigate by the Earth's magnetic field.

Did you ever wonder how the Golden Plover Chicks can navigate from Alaska to Fiji alone long-after their parents make the journey.

The Fijian language expresses foolishness by the phrase, "looking for the eggs of the Golden Plover." Such foolishness might evolve an undreamed of future.
