Quantum Biology and the Puzzle of Coherence

[longship]

30. Tama, I'm with you

My argument is solely on the principle that any macro event like throwing a baseball, or thinking about throwing a baseball can have any causal effect other than what can be calculated classically.

The Coo Coo for Cocoa Puffs kooks like Deepak Chopra (all of whose top Google listings are for rubbish products marketed at his "Spa". But it's all natural! Yeah, so is arsenic.) Just because you can phrase an argument with the word quantum doesn't make it science. I'll add astrologers, ESPers, homeothepaths, dowsers, and a whole plethora of other lunacy and utter quackery who have staked their claim on a base of, as Murray Gell-Mann terms it, quantum flap doodle.

So forgive me for being skeptical of the claims of this post. As usual, the scientific method will sort it all out. Of that I'm sure. If not, I'm sure that the scientific method itself will sort itself out, as it has for centuries. It's amazing what adaptive, evolutionary processes can accomplish

On that I think we can agree.

Let the science sort itself out.

Thanks for the great discussion.
