Quantum Biology and the Puzzle of Coherence

I don't have a degree from physics and my interest in these matters originates to a close relative who was a friend and coworker of Bohm. So I know quite well that Bohm didn't intend his theory for the final answer but rather as an ice-breaker between Einstein and Bohr collapse of dialogue, and to participate in scientific progress. And so I know also that Bohm was not entirely satisfied with his quantum theory, but not for reasons you claim, but because he was unable to find the chalice of math to put it all nicely together.

And I must say that I'm astonished at your BS (in both senses) about EPR, as the thought experiment was related to Einstein's dislike of "spooky action at distance" which later "experiments appear to show that the local realism idea is false,[3] thereby supporting the position of Bohr et al., against the challenge from Einstein and his group." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_paradox).

NOT Bohm's non-locality but that of Bohr et alii, and NOT putative. Your lack of basics in your academic field seems to be well matched with your blown up ego.

To really start to understand quantum theory and it's implications I feel that it ismportant to start from "top-down" notions like wave function the size of universe, that are standard notions in contemporary cosmology, regardless of reductionistic or holistic preferences.

In (at least inflationary) cosmologies actualized physical complexity comes from cooling down of the hot-hot-hot singularity/quantum superposition of possible universes.

As for Uncertainty Principle, the question of understanding it as part of a bigger whole logically and mathematically leads naturally to fundamental principle of self-referentiality of which Gödel's incompleteness theorem is a groundbraking example.

If you were more interested in learning and understanding science instead of making it into just another authoritarian religion, I could go on about my pet Theory Of Everything that has scalable hbar, new quantum math of Hilbert spaces inside each point of Hilbert space that allow mathematical modelling self-referentiality with new understanding of also transcendentals (e.g. pi) and much much else and not excluding theory of consciousness... well maybe some day...
