So if the theory of quantum smell is correct, could we engineer molecules with particular configurations in order to stimulate specific smell receptors? Then we could make particles that smell/taste like anything...
Yes, but making anything that has the complex flavors of real organics would be extremely difficult. Take something as simple as lettuce. There are so many different fibers and flavenoids in each individual leaf, and in different ratios, that perfectly recreating a head of lettuce would require an unfathomable amount of computing power. Sure you could make a base "lettuce flavor" but it would end up tasting a lot like what artificial flavors today already taste like.

NileRed has a video where he makes raspberry perfume, I think it's a good example of how just because you can recreate the smell of one important scent molecule of something that doesn't mean that you can accurately capture its smell. What we usually think as one smell is most likely a bunch of different receptors being set off at once which is going to be very difficult to replicate.
For the record, system level efficiency of photovoltaics are better than photosynthesis. The most efficient plants are about 8% efficient at converting the suns energy to biomass energy. Why is it that people bring up photovoltaic efficiency to criticize it? 20% conversion from low quality sun energy to electricity of high enough quality to make plasma is amazing! Car engines are only about 20% efficient but they require fuels of high quality. Those fuels were created by photosynthesis. How about we change the perspective on photovoltaic efficiency?
I don't think they mean that photosynthesis in it's entirety is nearly 100% efficient. I think they mean that the photon capture and initial electron transport chain is nearly 100% efficient. The rest of the process is god-awful inefficient.
Conversion of CO2 to sugar is done by Rubisco; it's not at all related to photosynthesis. Rubisco is awfully inefficient because it spend most of its time mistakenly converting O2 (which then have to be corrected by spending more energy). I think it can work fine in the cytoplasm or even inside a mitochondrion, it might even work better there (at the expense of ATP generation, of course) because that's where respiration takes place.
The photon absorption and initial electron transfer _are_ nearly 100% efficient, but only of you just look at the light that hits the antenna complexes. It's the same as looking at the photonic conversion rate in silicon solar cells, where you also only look at the light that hits the solar cell. But you can't compare the overall efficiency of photosynthesis, which is a circular multi-step enzyme cascade, to the efficiency of a simple closed electric circuit. In that case, you would need to compare photosynthesis to a complete electrochemical setup for the production of high-grade bulk chemicals.
@@gelatinocyte6270 fun fact: there are multiple alternative photosynthetic pathways in development, which are not using Rubisco for their carbon incorporation.

Thank you very much Stefan. Very much. This was eye opening, even if I consider I've crossed with quantum physics in many occasions before. Nothing beats connecting the knowledge you have of something, quantum physics, to the rest of what you know in very clear words and concepts. This strengthens a lot my understanding.

Ehhhhh the definition of coherence here isn't great. It seems like you're more closely describing superposition. A photon seemingly taking multiple paths at once. It's a bit of arguing semantics, but coherence is probably better described as the system's ability to maintain superposition as it is scaled. By analogy, coherence indicates that increasing the size of an unobserved schrodinger's cat from subatomic to macroscopic would maintain it's half alive-half dead state. I anticipate the authors of this paper use the concept of coherence rather than superposition because quantum effects probably physically larger than previously expected, but it's hard to tell. Perhaps I'll take a look at the paper and make an edit lto this comment later.
Plants have developed room temperature superconductors before it was cool (and before anyone invented rooms and used them as a reference for temperature)

1:59 You are comparing totally different things. Leaves convert light to usable energy at about 8% efficiency while solar cells convert at 20%. The correct comparison should be against the 50 to 90% carrier transport lifetime efficiency that is not easy to determine
Exactly! He made many other mistakes too But the video overall is fun Also that article on differences in attraction to the molecule with heavy elements I'd take it woth a huge grain of salt In my opinion that conclusion is a huge jump from the experiment (there could be many other explanations for that observation)
1:54 This is highly misleading. The percentage of energy absorbed to energy stored by plants is rarely near 1%. A few rare species can get into low single digits, like sugar cane. That's energy *absorbed* . Most of the energy is reflected from the plant due to the chlorophyll being reflective in the solar spectrum's sweet spot. Over half of solar energy reaching the plant has a wavelength too long for the chlorophyll to use. And you also have structures absorbing the light before it ever gets to the chloroplasts. Even if you skip the sugar production process, the maximum theoretical efficiency of real plants is about 26%. That is well below the maximum theoretical efficiency of photovoltaic cells if you want to compare "apples to apples", so to say.
Yeah, talking about transmission of the energy they receive being 100% and then saying solar cells are 20%. Taking that at face value its saying solar cells loose 80% of their generated electricity in transmission losses... Somehow I doubt a 200w panel is dumping 800w in power losses...
@@alichi101 yea it's comparing the efficiency of the full surface area of a solarcell, to the efficiency of super tiny structures that cover less than a percent of the total surface area. it's not a fair comparison

Everything that's observed in quantum physics points towards additional dimensions & our perception of reality being the perception of an enfolded wave of some sort.
The reason aged foods (miso, shoyu, beer, wine, etc.) darken over time and sometimes taste smokey is because of Maillard reactions. The problem is: Maillard reactions tend to occur at temperatures around 140°C. So how can that happen at room temperature? Quantum fluctuations. What we mean by “this is at 27°C” is actually “the medium temperature of this system is 27°C”, but the actual temperature of individual particles is a bell curve. Sometimes a random molecule will reach a high enough temperature to allow Maillard to take place, and over months that adds up.
What if the difference in energy when the molecule goes from high to low is the signal pattern that ultimately gets transmitted to the brain. Think like mourse code and every pattern corresponds to a letter. Well each sent molecule has it's own electric potential and vibration like you say. It influences the electron in the receptor and causes a change in the electron's energy. Each molecule would have a unique fingerprint to send to the brain. There's your smells.

Tl;dr @ bottom. Hi, I've never suggested a video topic before, but I just finally identified an extremely rare disorder I have that I've been looking for answers about my entire life. It's to do with my vision. I see sparkling translucent dots that swirl, especially on flat surfaces, especially the blue sky. They're most vivid then. I also see after images of everything when I look away from them. I'm photosensitive and see orbs around lights, like the moon has a blue orb. I get floaters a lot too. It's hard for me to see at night, especially on the road, because the street lights and incoming headlights create such huge orbs and they're so bright they give after images that don't fade for upwards of an hour sometimes. I have to hold my hand up to block them. Weird, right? Never heard of it? Yeah that was my experience for 3 decades. But I figured it out this week! Aaaaand there aren't any answers about what it is or how it works that I can find, outside theories. There are only 200 recorded cases in history! I'm going to get formally diagnosed after the pandemic, my doctor has too many patients that really need her, and it would be foolish to risk infection, I wouldn't be able to see my parents who are in the high risk zone. So the condition is called "blue field entopic phenomenon" or "visual snow" and I'd love to hear what sci show can dig up on it, as my doctor hasn't ever heard of it! I have been searching for so many years, I'm both elated I have an answer, and heavily disappointed it hasn't garnered any real answers for me outside some vague theory and a name. Plus I think it would be a cool topic, as it's so crazy rare, and in my case, stunningly beautiful. I could live without the constant after images and light sensitivity, but the swirls are the most beautiful things I've ever seen. They're tiny tiny tiny dots of like every colour and white light at the same time, like snow in the sun, and they squiggle around leaving light trails, so when I don't focus on the individuals, it looks like giant swirls, like when big snowflakes are blowing on a very windy day and they swirl in the air. It's nearly impossible to explain but I've always wished I could show someone else, just for a second, so they can see how alive and colorful and dynamic the sky is to me. I see it pretty much everywhere, but the full colours and scope are best on a clear sky. That's where the "blue field" part comes from I guess. Apparently different people see different things, so I feel blessed mine is so gorgeous. Tl;dr I have a condition called "visual snow" or "blue field entopic phenomenon" that's only been reported 200 times in recorded history and I just discovered what it's called after decades of searching for answers, but can't really find any and would love a sci show episode about it!
This is the first time I have been able to know the information before it is presented wtf I have been watching too many quantum documentaries while deep diving UA-cam at midnight.
Well, those are only exotic examples where we face quantum mechanics in everyday life. More common examples are: -The fact that objects are solid and do not pass through each other: Pauli principle -How we perceive color in the eye: molecules are quantum mechanically excited by photons -Every single chemical process is a quantum mechanical interaction of the quantum mechanical electron shell of an atom or molecule . . .
I've been telling people scent is a quantum experience for a couple years now, super cool to see there have been some new theories around the actual process.
I think this could be a part of how vision works as well. And that's why the common thing is to "see Kaleidoscope shapes" on acid trips when your "out of your mind". My evidence is spiral optical illusions that move. I'm just spitballin tho
The problem with quantum biology is that it has an explanation for everything and is not testable efficiently or specific. When molecules move across a cell membrane parts of it can fit into a receptor. The volatile compound doesn't stop reacting with the nose after it reacts with one part of it, it keeps moving along the nasal passage and most probably another part of the molecule reacts with the nose receptors. This makes the compound have a more complex smell. Smell is more like the rods and cones cells in your eyes. You have specific cells and receptors in your nose that can recognize specific functional groups aldehydes, esters, alcohols, ketones, thiols, etc. These combinations lead to different smells
4:07 *"...while we've yet to study coherence in a living organism, ..."* huh??? Does that mean the green sulfur bacteria they were/are studying is dead???? Or the FMO still kept viable (alive) itself while separated from the bacteria, so as to allow the photosynthesis (and therefore the oscillation) to occur?
i dont think many bacteria could survive the close to absolute zero temperatures they needed to study them lol. also FMO is a protein, it's not exactly alive on it's own
Point about nuclear fusion: yes, if it can happen, it will happen. However, gravity the really high energy and pressure at the core of the sun definitely skews the probability slightly more towards fusion. Hence, fusion isn't nearly as ubiquitous here on earth.
"So is it on this side, or the other side?" "Both." "Both?" "At the same time." I love how answers that would get us normies failed out of any math class basically has a quantum physicist nodding sagely from the corner.
I thought it was well known that photosynthetic light harvesting is quantum mechanics... Should have been known for at least 15 years... No one has ever said it to me, but I think it's pretty obvious if you understand photosynthesis and energy levels of absorbed vs emitted light. At VERY small distances between antennae complexes, the photon won't lose energy while traveling. A lot of energy IS lost though, as thermal energy. E.g: look at this really old page: hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Biology/antpho.html
So, the molecules that detect light in retinal cells...is there a quantum factor to how a photon can cause the molecule to change shape and so signal detection? How about the reset of the molecule back to its receptive shape?
In this theory the mathematics of Quantum Mechanics represents the physics of ‘time’ as a process of energy exchange. Within such a process we have an uncertain probabilistic future unfolding photon by photon relative to the atoms of the periodic table. The photon ∆E=hf is explained as the emergent part of a process that forms our ever changing world. Because the absorption and emission of light is spontaneous this process can form a continuum that we measure as a period of time relative to the atoms of the periodic table. Photon spherical oscillations forms the movement of positive and negative charge, which in this theory the spherical two dimensional surface represents a dynamic two dimensional boundary condition for the use of the holographic principle. The information of our three dimensional Universe is encoded on a two dimensional membrane in the form of positive and negative charge. At the smallest scale of this process the uncertainty of everyday is seen mathematically as Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π with the Planck constant ħ=h/2π representing a geometrical constant of action in the process that we see and feel as the passage of time.
1) I like your theme music. It reminds me of the theme to "Newton's Apple with Ira Plato" 2) Protons somehow find a way to be together. Humans can learn something from that. 3) If we cant determine where electrons are maybe our time scale is too long. For ex: Where were you in 2020? Can't say exactly bc it's too long but we can say the probability you were home is 97.3%.

What if fusion takes place not because of quantum tunneling, but because there are protons at every energy level that move at such a quick speed that they essentially force the highest energy proton up the energy curve by constantly hitting and giving it more energy, and it moves up and back down on the other side with a proverbial “other person holding your hand going through a portal” idea, where as it moves up the last proton to hit it joins it at that high energy state where they have enough energy to fuse, and then come back down the other side, together
You forgot the Gravity part of solar fusion... You know the whole crushing together so tunneling works. With LOTS of mass those distances in other forces get squashed, too. I did find the photosynthesis and other parts i"lluminating".
Quantum transistors could be an early technology of this quantum tunneling phenomena if we could use something like lasers to hold them in place & at quantum temperatures.
Seeing as brains apparently have microtubals which are small enough to perhaps harness superposition, perhaps we could learn a lot about the quantum world by studying the human psyche with a deep learning algorithm. There would be certain patterns to our thought processes and the outcomes which result from this, especially during our dream state when we don't have to be as afraid of our environment messing up the data. For this to be possible, we'd need to hack our own brains far enoug to where we could watch people's dreams. Seems like that is far, far away talk but with quantum computers, who knows what type of thing a deep learning algorithm could learn to understand. I like to think of computer programs like tools; they are shaped to do exactly the same thing as a car would for example; we give it tasks, and using the components a programmer gave it, in the order the programmer told it to, it excecutes an algorithm which allows it to solve a task. Now imagine if you gave a program like this a tool which infinitely bounces up and down until it finds the perfect fit for said problem, after which the computer takes that result which gets taken out of superposition into just a normal computer program and voilla, you have a working quantum computer. I think this is going to change our world in the near future and it will allow us to predict and solve things we never even anticipated were possible. All we would need to do, is make the pc use fractals to form the required data sorting structure and we'll be gucci.
The brain itself is made up of the same elementary particles as your computer and is collapsed from the wave function as well. It’s just in a different composition making it look and feel different to our 5 primary senses. The brain is an illusion just like the rest of the realm of “solidity”.
Let's just hope people don't get too afraid of this kind of research as to ban it, beacause this could prove if the mind is deterministic or not, and we could find out if we have free will.
First, it’s the photoexcitation that undergoes coherent transport. The electron transfer is farther down the chain. The quantum olfactory mechanism is on rather shaky ground. I say that having written well cited papers on this mechanism.
How about we think of the protons like people who have a repulsion but close enough they lock elbows a few in a large area they can’t get close enough to lock elbows. And don’t want to be but in the small room (like the sun) they are crammed together and everyone repelling each other pushes each other together...... that’s how fusion works. They are shoved together by their repulsion to each other cause they are crammed into the tiny room.... Your welcome.
The problem is there's not enough pressure, the room is not small enough. Even at th4e sun's core the average distance between protons is hundreds of times their radius. To be forced to fusing distance by mere pressure we'd need the sun's core to be nearly as dense as a neutron star.
A great video. I liked the examples related to biology, which made the quantum perspective seem more plausible than what I got from other talks on quantum biology. I think there is too much emphasis on the notion that quantum physics is weird. That seems to be a relic of 95 years ago, when physicists were trying to emphasize that quantum is novel. Today, our culture is overdue in reorienting our school-formed intuitions to realize that quantum is normal, while classical and continuum is the remarkable coincidence, hit upon then selected by some contingent events in evolution perhaps. In the light of this discussion of photosynthesis and smell, I am starting to think that Roger Penrose (The Emperor's New Mind, Shadows of the Mind) might be onto something with his speculations about consciousness having something to do with coherence in microtubules in neurons. When I first read those popular science accounts, I thought his argument from Gödel's theorem smelled bogus. I still think the argument seems oversimplified, but I am now open to the possibility that there is an important germ of insight there (maybe something to do with cognitive identifications being groupoids up to isomorphism, rather than sets of physical states "on the nose"; in a slogan, "life is not a state function" cited in a Khan academy video on Gibbs free energy I think). Perhaps somebody smart at the level of Penrose might someday make that mathematically precise.
I’ve always noticed it’s more difficult to smell in colder weather, especially at temperatures around -10 Celsius. Especially in the spring where it bounces between 10 degrees in the day and -5 at night, even though I could be standing in the same spot in a field, it’ll still smell different depending on the temperature.
@@Alex-dw4iwexactly. Oodorant molecules still need enough kinetic energy to reach out into our nostrils and interact with our olfactory nerve endings. Lower temperatures decrease their kinetic energy as well as the air composite medium. Thus, odorant molecules don't propagate as fast to interact and activate our receptors in bulk.
The natural first (Occam’s) assumption to explain how or why a particle like a photon (or electron, etc) might behave as an uncertain location particle while also like a polarizable axial or helical wave “packet”, given that everything in the universe from electrons to solar systems are in orbit with something else pulling them into polarizable axial or helical apparent waves depending on the orientation of their orbits as they travel thru space, and given that we know we’re in a sea of undetectable dark matter but don’t know where it’s disbursed, is that they’re in orbit with an undetectable dark matter particle pulling them into polarizable axial or helical apparent waves as they travel where the speed of their orbit determines the wavelength and the diameter is the amplitude which would explain the double slit, uncertainty, etc. No?
so going back to the sun. what if the power of the magnetosphear of the sun is so strong it helps the electrons overcome those effect instead of the quantum tunnel effects?
Given the vibrational theory, I wonder why early smell loss in Alzheimer's is leftsided unilateral. This argues for some interpretational relay rather than the model presented. Old uk duffer here :)

It's a bit of arguing semantics, but coherence is probably better described as the system's ability to maintain superposition as it is scaled.
By analogy, coherence indicates that increasing the size of an unobserved schrodinger's cat from subatomic to macroscopic would maintain it's half alive-half dead state.
I anticipate the authors of this paper use the concept of coherence rather than superposition because quantum effects probably physically larger than previously expected, but it's hard to tell. Perhaps I'll take a look at the paper and make an edit lto this comment later.
Waiting for updates
This is why no one likes science and scientists
No superposition without coherence.

1:59 You are comparing totally different things. Leaves convert light to usable energy at about 8% efficiency while solar cells convert at 20%. The correct comparison should be against the 50 to 90% carrier transport lifetime efficiency that is not easy to determine
Exactly!
He made many other mistakes too
But the video overall is fun
Also that article on differences in attraction to the molecule with heavy elements
I'd take it woth a huge grain of salt
In my opinion that conclusion is a huge jump from the experiment (there could be many other explanations for that observation)
1:54 This is highly misleading. The percentage of energy absorbed to energy stored by plants is rarely near 1%. A few rare species can get into low single digits, like sugar cane. That's energy *absorbed* . Most of the energy is reflected from the plant due to the chlorophyll being reflective in the solar spectrum's sweet spot. Over half of solar energy reaching the plant has a wavelength too long for the chlorophyll to use. And you also have structures absorbing the light before it ever gets to the chloroplasts. Even if you skip the sugar production process, the maximum theoretical efficiency of real plants is about 26%. That is well below the maximum theoretical efficiency of photovoltaic cells if you want to compare "apples to apples", so to say.
Yeah, talking about transmission of the energy they receive being 100% and then saying solar cells are 20%. Taking that at face value its saying solar cells loose 80% of their generated electricity in transmission losses... Somehow I doubt a 200w panel is dumping 800w in power losses...
@@alichi101 yea it's comparing the efficiency of the full surface area of a solarcell, to the efficiency of super tiny structures that cover less than a percent of the total surface area. it's not a fair comparison

Everything that's observed in quantum physics points towards additional dimensions & our perception of reality being the perception of an enfolded wave of some sort.
The reason aged foods (miso, shoyu, beer, wine, etc.) darken over time and sometimes taste smokey is because of Maillard reactions. The problem is: Maillard reactions tend to occur at temperatures around 140°C. So how can that happen at room temperature? Quantum fluctuations. What we mean by “this is at 27°C” is actually “the medium temperature of this system is 27°C”, but the actual temperature of individual particles is a bell curve. Sometimes a random molecule will reach a high enough temperature to allow Maillard to take place, and over months that adds up.

What if the difference in energy when the molecule goes from high to low is the signal pattern that ultimately gets transmitted to the brain. Think like mourse code and every pattern corresponds to a letter. Well each sent molecule has it's own electric potential and vibration like you say. It influences the electron in the receptor and causes a change in the electron's energy. Each molecule would have a unique fingerprint to send to the brain. There's your smells.

Tl;dr @ bottom. Hi, I've never suggested a video topic before, but I just finally identified an extremely rare disorder I have that I've been looking for answers about my entire life. It's to do with my vision. I see sparkling translucent dots that swirl, especially on flat surfaces, especially the blue sky. They're most vivid then.
I also see after images of everything when I look away from them. I'm photosensitive and see orbs around lights, like the moon has a blue orb. I get floaters a lot too. It's hard for me to see at night, especially on the road, because the street lights and incoming headlights create such huge orbs and they're so bright they give after images that don't fade for upwards of an hour sometimes. I have to hold my hand up to block them.
Weird, right? Never heard of it? Yeah that was my experience for 3 decades. But I figured it out this week! Aaaaand there aren't any answers about what it is or how it works that I can find, outside theories. There are only 200 recorded cases in history!
I'm going to get formally diagnosed after the pandemic, my doctor has too many patients that really need her, and it would be foolish to risk infection, I wouldn't be able to see my parents who are in the high risk zone.
So the condition is called "blue field entopic phenomenon" or "visual snow" and I'd love to hear what sci show can dig up on it, as my doctor hasn't ever heard of it! I have been searching for so many years, I'm both elated I have an answer, and heavily disappointed it hasn't garnered any real answers for me outside some vague theory and a name. Plus I think it would be a cool topic, as it's so crazy rare, and in my case, stunningly beautiful.
I could live without the constant after images and light sensitivity, but the swirls are the most beautiful things I've ever seen. They're tiny tiny tiny dots of like every colour and white light at the same time, like snow in the sun, and they squiggle around leaving light trails, so when I don't focus on the individuals, it looks like giant swirls, like when big snowflakes are blowing on a very windy day and they swirl in the air. It's nearly impossible to explain but
I've always wished I could show someone else, just for a second, so they can see how alive and colorful and dynamic the sky is to me. I see it pretty much everywhere, but the full colours and scope are best on a clear sky. That's where the "blue field" part comes from I guess. Apparently different people see different things, so I feel blessed mine is so gorgeous.
Tl;dr I have a condition called "visual snow" or "blue field entopic phenomenon" that's only been reported 200 times in recorded history and I just discovered what it's called after decades of searching for answers, but can't really find any and would love a sci show episode about it!
This is the first time I have been able to know the information before it is presented wtf I have been watching too many quantum documentaries while deep diving UA-cam at midnight.
Well, those are only exotic examples where we face quantum mechanics in everyday life. More common examples are:
-The fact that objects are solid and do not pass through each other: Pauli principle
-How we perceive color in the eye: molecules are quantum mechanically excited by photons
-Every single chemical process is a quantum mechanical interaction of the quantum mechanical electron shell of an atom or molecule
.

I've been telling people scent is a quantum experience for a couple years now, super cool to see there have been some new theories around the actual process.
I think this could be a part of how vision works as well. And that's why the common thing is to "see Kaleidoscope shapes" on acid trips when your "out of your mind". My evidence is spiral optical illusions that move. I'm just spitballin tho
The problem with quantum biology is that it has an explanation for everything and is not testable efficiently or specific. When molecules move across a cell membrane parts of it can fit into a receptor. The volatile compound doesn't stop reacting with the nose after it reacts with one part of it, it keeps moving along the nasal passage and most probably another part of the molecule reacts with the nose receptors. This makes the compound have a more complex smell. Smell is more like the rods and cones cells in your eyes. You have specific cells and receptors in your nose that can recognize specific functional groups aldehydes, esters, alcohols, ketones, thiols, etc. These combinations lead to different smells

*"...while we've yet to study coherence in a living organism, ..."*
huh???
Does that mean the green sulfur bacteria they were/are studying is dead????
Or the FMO still kept viable (alive) itself while separated from the bacteria, so as to allow the photosynthesis (and therefore the oscillation) to occur?
i dont think many bacteria could survive the close to absolute zero temperatures they needed to study them lol. also FMO is a protein, it's not exactly alive on it's own
Point about nuclear fusion: yes, if it can happen, it will happen. However, gravity the really high energy and pressure at the core of the sun definitely skews the probability slightly more towards fusion. Hence, fusion isn't nearly as ubiquitous here on earth.

"Both."

I love how answers that would get us normies failed out of any math class basically has a quantum physicist nodding sagely from the corner.
I thought it was well known that photosynthetic light harvesting is quantum mechanics... Should have been known for at least 15 years... No one has ever said it to me, but I think it's pretty obvious if you understand photosynthesis and energy levels of absorbed vs emitted light. At VERY small distances between antennae complexes, the photon won't lose energy while traveling. A lot of energy IS lost though, as thermal energy.
E.g: look at this really old page:
hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Biology/antpho.html
So, the molecules that detect light in retinal cells...is there a quantum factor to how a photon can cause the molecule to change shape and so signal detection? How about the reset of the molecule back to its receptive shape?
Thanks for breaking this down
It would be great if you make a video of all the quantum aspects involved in photosynthesis
Thank you, SR Foxley! Good to hear your name again 😉
Does anyone know where platform 9 and 3/4 is?
In this theory the mathematics of Quantum Mechanics represents the physics of ‘time’ as a process of energy exchange. Within such a process we have an uncertain probabilistic future unfolding photon by photon relative to the atoms of the periodic table. The photon ∆E=hf is explained as the emergent part of a process that forms our ever changing world. Because the absorption and emission of light is spontaneous this process can form a continuum that we measure as a period of time relative to the atoms of the periodic table. Photon spherical oscillations forms the movement of positive and negative charge, which in this theory the spherical two dimensional surface represents a dynamic two dimensional boundary condition for the use of the holographic principle. The information of our three dimensional Universe is encoded on a two dimensional membrane in the form of positive and negative charge. At the smallest scale of this process the uncertainty of everyday is seen mathematically as Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π with the Planck constant ħ=h/2π representing a geometrical constant of action in the process that we see and feel as the passage of time.
1) I like your theme music. It reminds me of the theme to "Newton's Apple with Ira Plato"
2) Protons somehow find a way to be together. Humans can learn something from that.
3) If we cant determine where electrons are maybe our time scale is too long. For ex: Where were you in 2020? Can't say exactly bc it's too long but we can say the probability you were home is 97.3%.

Awesome!!💗 THX!!
Nice analysis! Thanks for uploading!
What if fusion takes place not because of quantum tunneling, but because there are protons at every energy level that move at such a quick speed that they essentially force the highest energy proton up the energy curve by constantly hitting and giving it more energy, and it moves up and back down on the other side with a proverbial “other person holding your hand going through a portal” idea, where as it moves up the last proton to hit it joins it at that high energy state where they have enough energy to fuse, and then come back down the other side, together
You forgot the Gravity part of solar fusion... You know the whole crushing together so tunneling works. With LOTS of mass those distances in other forces get squashed, too. I did find the photosynthesis and other parts i"lluminating".
Quantum transistors could be an early technology of this quantum tunneling phenomena if we could use something like lasers to hold them in place & at quantum temperatures.

Seeing as brains apparently have microtubals which are small enough to perhaps harness superposition, perhaps we could learn a lot about the quantum world by studying the human psyche with a deep learning algorithm. There would be certain patterns to our thought processes and the outcomes which result from this, especially during our dream state when we don't have to be as afraid of our environment messing up the data. For this to be possible, we'd need to hack our own brains far enoug to where we could watch people's dreams. Seems like that is far, far away talk but with quantum computers, who knows what type of thing a deep learning algorithm could learn to understand. I like to think of computer programs like tools; they are shaped to do exactly the same thing as a car would for example; we give it tasks, and using the components a programmer gave it, in the order the programmer told it to, it excecutes an algorithm which allows it to solve a task. Now imagine if you gave a program like this a tool which infinitely bounces up and down until it finds the perfect fit for said problem, after which the computer takes that result which gets taken out of superposition into just a normal computer program and voilla, you have a working quantum computer. I think this is going to change our world in the near future and it will allow us to predict and solve things we never even anticipated were possible. All we would need to do, is make the pc use fractals to form the required data sorting structure and we'll be gucci.
The brain itself is made up of the same elementary particles as your computer and is collapsed from the wave function as well. It’s just in a different composition making it look and feel different to our 5 primary senses. The brain is an illusion just like the rest of the realm of “solidity”.
Let's just hope people don't get too afraid of this kind of research as to ban it, beacause this could prove if the mind is deterministic or not, and we could find out if we have free will.
Thaaaaaaats how you learn to predict and control people. I'll die before they put a chip in my brain.
Microtubules are a supercomplex of macromolecules (made of α and β tubulin proteins); I don't think it's small enough to "harness superimposition".
First, it’s the photoexcitation that undergoes coherent transport. The electron transfer is farther down the chain. The quantum olfactory mechanism is on rather shaky ground. I say that having written well cited papers on this mechanism.
How about we think of the protons like people who have a repulsion but close enough they lock elbows a few in a large area they can’t get close enough to lock elbows. And don’t want to be but in the small room (like the sun) they are crammed together and everyone repelling each other pushes each other together...... that’s how fusion works. They are shoved together by their repulsion to each other cause they are crammed into the tiny room....
Your welcome.
What does it smell like though?
@@miriam3848
It smells hot 🥵
The problem is there's not enough pressure, the room is not small enough. Even at th4e sun's core the average distance between protons is hundreds of times their radius. To be forced to fusing distance by mere pressure we'd need the sun's core to be nearly as dense as a neutron star.

A great video. I liked the examples related to biology, which made the quantum perspective seem more plausible than what I got from other talks on quantum biology. I think there is too much emphasis on the notion that quantum physics is weird. That seems to be a relic of 95 years ago, when physicists were trying to emphasize that quantum is novel. Today, our culture is overdue in reorienting our school-formed intuitions to realize that quantum is normal, while classical and continuum is the remarkable coincidence, hit upon then selected by some contingent events in evolution perhaps.
In the light of this discussion of photosynthesis and smell, I am starting to think that Roger Penrose (The Emperor's New Mind, Shadows of the Mind) might be onto something with his speculations about consciousness having something to do with coherence in microtubules in neurons. When I first read those popular science accounts, I thought his argument from Gödel's theorem smelled bogus. I still think the argument seems oversimplified, but I am now open to the possibility that there is an important germ of insight there (maybe something to do with cognitive identifications being groupoids up to isomorphism, rather than sets of physical states "on the nose"; in a slogan, "life is not a state function" cited in a Khan academy video on Gibbs free energy I think). Perhaps somebody smart at the level of Penrose might someday make that mathematically precise.
What for one is counterintuitive, is for another obvious and logical!
thanks for amazing video
Quantum Mechanics is the future. More investments and research should be focused into this area of study.
Springs are not the best example. Just attach one spring to the end of another spring, and good luck predicting anything about their motion :D
Good episode!
I’ve always noticed it’s more difficult to smell in colder weather, especially at temperatures around -10 Celsius. Especially in the spring where it bounces between 10 degrees in the day and -5 at night, even though I could be standing in the same spot in a field, it’ll still smell different depending on the temperature.
That might also be because compounds tend to be less volatile at lower temperatures.
@@Alex-dw4iwexactly. Oodorant molecules still need enough kinetic energy to reach out into our nostrils and interact with our olfactory nerve endings. Lower temperatures decrease their kinetic energy as well as the air composite medium. Thus, odorant molecules don't propagate as fast to interact and activate our receptors in bulk.
Scott Lang needs to watch this video.
Crazy amount of words in a minute. My brain cant fathom.
The natural first (Occam’s) assumption to explain how or why a particle like a photon (or electron, etc) might behave as an uncertain location particle while also like a polarizable axial or helical wave “packet”, given that everything in the universe from electrons to solar systems are in orbit with something else pulling them into polarizable axial or helical apparent waves depending on the orientation of their orbits as they travel thru space, and given that we know we’re in a sea of undetectable dark matter but don’t know where it’s disbursed, is that they’re in orbit with an undetectable dark matter particle pulling them into polarizable axial or helical apparent waves as they travel where the speed of their orbit determines the wavelength and the diameter is the amplitude which would explain the double slit, uncertainty, etc. No?
Try sentences, please.
