I find quite possible that QM explains biochemistry, given the incredible theory of chemistry the SWE equation allow (molecules and the electronic shape of atoms is really what QM explains the most elegantly and successfully, but this is besides my point). But you are coherent: if you want materialism, you will need a non turing emulable theory of matter, and of mind. Good luck, because it needs already some amount of work to conceive something not Turing emulable in math, and in physics, it is even more difficult. But QM is based on complex numbers over the reals, which are already not Turing emulable. Has a real number ever been measured by any physicist? Jason
Sure. He measured one side of the right triangle to be 1cubit and the other side to be 1cubit and concluded that the third side was sqrt(2)cubit.
