An interview with Hameroff:
Recent evidence in the last five or six years has come down pretty strongly > on our side. For example, it’s been discovered that photosynthesis—the > operation in all plants that give rise to our food, to everything we > eat—utilizes quantum coherence. . . . > If this happens in something as fundamental as photosynthesis, then it’s > likely to be found throughout biology. > Whoa. Excellent point. I had not thought of that. Once a biological mechanism evolves it tends to spread far and wide, in surprising ways. I have been kind of dismissing this hypothesis because of "too hot, too wet" problem the author cites. - Jed
