Nearly finished reading Life on the Edge. Nearly finished reading the chapter How Life Began. Just finished reading two books by Nick Lane. Nick approaches the emergence of life from an energy perspective. I imagine that these folks paths will cross if they haven’t already. Not remembering all the details of Nick’s books, but I think I heard something about quantum tunneling. Also read Sean Carroll and Brian Greene lately, so I could be confusing ideas. Regardless, fascinating work being done across the globe!
keep in mind that Anirban Bandyopadhyay has now corroborated the model of Hameroff and Penrose that is discussed at the end of Life on the Edge (2016). thanks
As I finished reading Life on the Edge, I thought about Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Kemmerer. I wonder what she would think and I wonder what she might want to say to Johnjoe and Jim.
I would realize that Professor McFadden emphasizes that vibration and resonance is the key to room temperature wet biological quantum coherence. This is actually due to noncommutativity or noncommutative time-frequency that is modeled by nonwestern music theory! So Alain Connes called this, "2, 3, infinity" but it's actually the secret of the ecological negentropy of nonwestern philosophy (and the reason why modern WEstern science caused the ecological crisis). thanks
The baffling question is why a highly intelligent scientist like Jim Al -Khalili believes in the sacred texts of his religion, which lack scientific basis, when scientists typically rely on reason, logic, experience, and the scientific method.
So nice to see that Sean Carroll is going to be a part of this!

Why does Carlo Rovelli say that "quantum biology is shit" - he must feel threatened by the topic. haha.
