great book called quantum evoltution….our consciousness at the quantum level as a wave directs actions and thoughts

Then there is quantum entanglement. Once entangled, how long do pairs persist? Is it possible that when people experience “distance communication,” that phenomenon when two people a continent apart somehow know what the other is doing, is actually a quantum entanglement event?

For that to be possible, the human body would have to have some way of accessing, and recognizing, quantum entanglement. We have so much to learn.

My theory is that ALL of our experience is quantum, in that the ‘path’ of experience keeps adjusting for longest survival by deselecting non-viable branches (such as standing, unscathed, outside of your flattened car in a freeway crash, or getting some ‘lucky’ break when it looked like you were doomed). These ‘rebranchings’ have happened to all of us, many times, but we have been taught to ignore the ‘impossible’ outcomes — the ‘miracles’. By careful observation, you can prove this for yourself but, for practical reasons, not to anyone else’s satisfaction, unless they, too, have made the effort to notice the gaps and mismatches in their “life experience.”

Don should be jaded. This description makes it sound like quantum particles have some goal in mind and they take the shortest path there. This is the same problem we have with pop understanding of evolution–everyone ( pseudo-science creationists and even scientists alike) make it seem like evolution has a goal in mind. Instead it’s a random walk just like QM. The goals that quantum particles reach are just the non-interfering results of the particles taking all paths. The paths that are not “shortest” interfere with each other. They are still executed; but the oscillations are so quick and interfering they are lost in the noise. IOW our individual atoms still make it all the way home by the shortest path, but the RELATIONSHIPS (AKA negentropy) do not. Relationships are a macroscopic object and macroscopic objects’ behavior oscillates very very quickly like sine (Mass*time). So as the mass goes up the frequency goes up.
The photosynthetic machinery here has more in common with the interferometer than with the light; so it’s not surprising that coherence is exhibited.

Awesome, but I’m so jaded . . . . I’m just waiting with dread in my stomach for every psychic/medium/dowsing/radionics huckster to start yelling, “I TOLD YOU! EVERYTHING IS QUANTUM! EINSTEIN WAS RIGHT ABOUT SPECIAL SPIRITUAL ENERGY FIELDS! YOUR DEAD GRANDMA SAYS HELLO . . . . WITH QUANTUMNESS!

I read something a few years ago about quantum tunnels in the brain giving us a sense of time.
It may even have been in this magazine.

To answer that last question, most likely far, far more than we can measure yet. Of course, the first place to look for it is in the brain and nervous system. So, I have a great deal of faith that at some point in the not too distant future we will be finding ways to try to measure it.
