Why You Are Alive: Quantum Biology Explained

Описание: Why You Are Alive: Quantum Biology Explained
Sleep Entangled

Have you ever wondered how a robin navigates thousands of miles without a compass, or how plants convert sunlight with near-perfect efficiency?
The answer lies in quantum biology — the revolutionary discovery that life harnesses quantum mechanics, the same strange physics that governs atoms and particles. From quantum entanglement in bird eyes to superposition in photosynthesis, life has been running quantum computers for 3.5 billion years.

In this exploration, we journey through the quantum mechanisms powering life itself.
Discover the 2007 Berkeley breakthrough showing quantum coherence in photosynthesis, the 2021 research proving European robins use entangled electrons to sense Earth's magnetic field, and the controversial Orch-OR theory suggesting consciousness emerges from quantum processes in brain microtubules. Featuring research from Graham Fleming (UC Berkeley), Roger Penrose, Stuart Hameroff, and the University of Oldenburg's quantum bird studies, this video explores: quantum photosynthesis as nature's computer, cryptochrome proteins and magnetic navigation, rhodopsin's quantum vision, ATP synthesis through proton tunneling, the Penrose-Hameroff quantum consciousness hypothesis, quantum genetics and DNA mutations, and the future of quantum medicine.

If you're seeking a deep, calming exploration of how life operates at the quantum level, subscribe to Sleep Entangled for more long-form journeys where science meets serenity. Let curiosity guide your nights, and discover that you are not just in the quantum universe — you are the quantum universe, becoming aware of itself. Perfect for sleep, study, or contemplation.
